Television this Fall

RETURNING SHOWS

“New Girl” Starring Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Hannah Simone and Lamorne Morris.

“New Girl” is about Jess Day who left her boyfriend for cheating on her. Jess moves in with three roommates, Nick, Schmidt and Winston, who are all trying to find love and happiness in their own ways. However, each character has some eccentric personalities that make this task a little harder than it should be.

“Community” Starring Joel McHale, Gillian Jacobs, Danny Pudi, Yvette Nicole Brown, Alison Brie, Donald Glover and Chevy Chase

“Community” is about lawyer Jeff Winger who does not have a bachelor’s degree, therefore gets his law license revoked until he can get the degree. He then enrolls in a community college. While there, he forms a study group so he can get close to an attractive peer.

“American Horror Story” Starring Jessica Lange, Zachary Quinto, Evan Peters, Connie Britton and Dylan McDermott.

FX’s anthology series makes a return this October with an almost new cast and new setting, coupled with the same fright and horror that kept the public on the edge of their seats last season. Having recently won a Primetime Emmy for her portrayal as the sadistic Constance Langdon in the first season, Jessica Lange returns as Sister Jude, the head of the insane asylum for the second season.

“The X-Factor” Starring Britney Spears, Simon Cowell, Demi Lovato and L.A. Reid.

America loves singing competitions, but with “American Idol” falling by the wayside in recent years and “The Voice” becoming somewhat of a sideshow as opposed to a singing competition, “The X-Factor” comes out on top as one of the premiere reality competition shows to date. Offering $5 million dollars to the winner, “The X-Factor” definitely shows us through great production and even greater talent that this season will definitely be the season to watch.

NEW SHOWS

“Elementary” Starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu.

This adaptation of the famous Sherlock Holmes stories takes a different, but modern twist to the novels. Jonny Lee Miller plays Sherlock Holmes, a former consultant to Scotland Yard and current for the NYPD and ex-addict, recently released from rehab in New York City. He is forced to live with a sober companion, Joan Watson, portrayed by Lucy Liu. The series is groundbreaking, being that this is one of the few times that the character of Watson has been portrayed by a female.

“The Mindy Project” Starring Mindy Kaling, Chris Messina and Ed Weeks.

“The Mindy Project” is centered on Mindy, an OB/GYN who works in a small office with some interesting co-workers. Mindy is in her early 30s and is trying to balance looking for love and working in the office.
