‘So You Think You Can Dance’ —
Wednesday 9/9 at 8 p.m. on Fox
Fox’s popular dance show is returning early with season six, debuting this week for their first time in the fall season. Even though season five just ended a month ago (with 18-year-old Jeanine Mason being crowned as America’s favorite dancer), Fox seems to think that there is enough popularity and a strong enough fan base to have season six premiere in the fall.
‘Glee’ — Wednesday 9/9
at 9 p.m. on Fox
The commercials have been running all summer in anticipation of this new fall show, and while they’ve been vague at best (glimpses of students singing and a grumpy cheerleading coach in Jane Lynch), there’s something intriguing about them. “Glee” is a new comedy that showcases the struggles of a teacher (Matthew Morrison) to try and make his high school’s glee club a successful organization. Created by Ryan Murphy, the direct of “Nip/Tuck,” “Glee” seems to be a story about the struggles and successes of the underdogs.
‘Vampire Diaries’ —
Thursday 9/10 at 8 p.m. on CW
With all of the hype surrounding the “Twilight” series, the CW brings “Vampire Diaries” to TV, a new show about, well, vampires. More specifically, the show is about vampire brothers — one good, one evil — who are fighting over the attention of a vampire female. A deadly love triangle, to be sure.
‘The Beautiful Life’ — Wednesday 9/16 at 9 p.m. on CW
Ashton Kutcher is moving in a different direction as executive producer of “The Beautiful Life,” a drama that centers on a group of fashion models living together in New York City. The show is going to be a different look at the fashion industry, providing a different (albeit fictional) perspective compared to the reality fashion TV shows that are currently predominant.
‘Community’ —
Thursday 9/17 at 9:30 p.m. on NBC
“Community” centers on Greendale Community College and a group of students gathered together by a lawyer whose degree has been revoked (Joel McHale, from “The Soup”). Reminiscent of “The Breakfast Club,” the students form a study group with McHale’s character Jeff Winger and start to learn about life and each other, rather than the types of subjects that can be learned in class.
‘Accidentally on Purpose’ — Monday 9/21 at 8:30 p.m. on CBS
Jenna Elfman is finally back in TV comedy as she tries out her new role in CBS’s “Accidentally on Purpose,” based on a true story about a movie critic who ends up pregnant after a one-night stand. While the plot could be predictable, Elfman’s character decides to throw in some twists as she chooses to keep the baby — and the baby’s younger father as well.
‘Cougar Town’ — Wednesday 9/23 at 9:30 p.m. on ABC
Another highly anticipated TV premiere, “Cougar Town” takes place in a town in Florida where single moms dominate and emulate the high school’s mascot, the cougar. Courtney Cox plays the lead, a single mom with a 17-year-old son who is trying not to fit the stereotype but finds herself looking for a man regardless.
