Looking at NBC's schedule, I think part of the reason is NBC giving up on scripted on Mondays from 8-10pm for the Fall. Every scripted show those hours failed last Fall in the ratings (Chuck, The Event and The Cape) They are using that timeslot for 2 hours a week for The Sing-Off. Then The Biggest Loser eats up 8-10pm on Tuesdays.

The Sing-Off will probably end it's season this Winter, so I think Awake could take a Monday at 9pm timeslot come early 2012.

Just watched a "preair" of Revenge. Wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised -- definitely on board. It's as soap-opera-y as I thought it would be but the acting is top notch, it has interesting characters, and the premise is addictive. Not sure how they go beyond one season with this though; might have worked better as a mini-series.

Yeah, if it wasn't for Emily Van Camp I probably wouldn't even bother checking it out. However, I did find out that Nick Weshler will be in it as well (he used to on Roswell) so my interest is piqued a bit more.

I'll all in for American Horror Story and Alcatraz mid-season. Everything else is doa for me. I don't think i've added a new show aside from Wilfred in the last two years.

Dang - I forgot all about Boss! And it's in the poll. I am going to catch that too. Fingers crossed that Grammer gets a good role.

Re: Fall 2011 Season: What new dramas are you excited about?

My votes, in order of how excited I am for the series:

Ringer (Will always be a diehard scooby)
Revenge (The reviews are stellar and I can't help but be intrigued by Amy Abbott in such a dark role... can't wait to see how this plays out)
American Horror Story (looks like 'nip/tuck' combined with 'people under the stairs' = I'm in)
Once upon a time (I'm a sucker for classic stories)
The Secret Circle (Mostly because of it's connection w/ Kevin Williamson and the Cast)
Terra Nova (Gotta see if it's a trainwreck or fantastic)
Heart of Dixie (closest thing I think I'll see to having 'Gilmore girls' back on TV)
Pan Am (Interesting Premise + Christina Ricci)
Grimm (The connections w/ "Angel")
Hell on Wheels (I will give anything on AMC a chance)
The Playboy Club (Really like the premise but scared it's going to be one of the first to get canceled)
Charlie's Angels (I want to watch the trainwreck and my thursdays are slow)

Because of the merger w/ Comcast NBC is still in transition and with the combination of allowing more reality/sports with wanting to see how establish shows hold up in the new season is making NBC hold back both of their more promising pilots (Smash and Awake) for midseason to have a strong comeback after (assuming) they cancel the shows that were dragging.

Personally I think it's a strong move as people will be looking for something new to watch when various reality shows end or fall premier shows are canceled.

Re: Fall 2011 Season: What new dramas are you excited about?

Ringer - buffy connection
Secret Circle - i still miss LUX and hope they get her Klingon headed bestie and Shiri on this somehow
revenge - i like this take on Count of Monte Cristo (or Crisco depending on who the sponsor is)
Hart of dixie- for Bilson and the endless dr Christmas Jones jokes i will make while watching
Hell On Wheels- liked the premise

have a passing interest at one time or another in most of the others, and will probably watch or give them a try as time allows.

American Horror Story looks like it could be interesting so I'll probably add that to the DVR. The Playboy Club looks kind of good too but I typically don't get into many of the CBS/NBC/ABC shows so I don't know if I'll watch much of it.

I'll try Terra Nova until it gets cancelled.

I would like to be watching Chicago Code but FOX loves fake competition shows too much

Just Hell on Wheels.

I can't do dramas on the big four. Only comedies.
