Medium (September 24th, 7th Season)I'm very surprised this show is going into it's second season on CBS on a Friday night.
Promo:
Where we left off: In the season finale, Allison's brain tumor resurfaces, with an aftermath that could result in life changing consequences for her friends and family. But when Ariel receives an acceptance letter from her University of choice, Allison must begin to realize that she must let her daughter become a strong and confident woman.
Scoops:
The season premiere is basically Freaky Friday,” explains executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron, “which is to say Allison becomes her 13-year-old daughter Bridgette, and Bridgette becomes her thirtysomething mother Allison.”Episode Titles:
Episode 1: Bring Your Daughter To Work DayEpisode 2: How to Beat a Good Guy
Episode 4: The Match Game
FOX:
Human Target (October 1st, 2nd Season)Not going to lie, if you would have bet me money I would have bet that this show was cancelled last season. I was very surprised to see this back on the schedule this year.
Where we left off: When clients of Chance's old boss capture and question him about an old assignment when he was an assassin, Chance, Winston and Guerrero recall the events that led up to their unlikely partnership. Katherine (Amy Acker), a woman from Chance's past, whose death drove him to adopt his current profession also appears. Lee Majors appears as one of the first men to adopt the Christopher Chance alias as well.
Scoop:
Ames, a young thief, “is an interesting one,” Valley says with a wink. ” Guerrero brings her on initially because she’s shown some promise to be a part of this team, so we tentatively take her under our wing.” Tentatively being the operative word when it comes to newcomers as well as familiar faces. “In this second season trust is going to be an important issue,” Valley hints. “Not just with the clients, but within the team.”THE CW:
Smallville (September 24th, 10th Season)Another show I should be watching but for some reason I never got in to it when it started.
Where we left off: Zod appears to Lois claiming to be The Blur and accusing Clark of trying to reveal Zod's secret. Tess confronts Zod at the Fortress, in an effort to save Clark, but Zod gets the upper hand and uses his heat vision to burn her and leave her for dead before destroying the main console of the Fortress. Clark takes Tess to the hospital, where she tells him there is a second console that will activate the book. Later, Tess is pronounced dead at the hospital. Zod attacks Lois when she discovers he is not the Blur, but Clark saves her and reveals his true identity to her through a kiss. Zod's troops learn of his deceptive actions and agree to follow Clark to their new home through the Book of Rao. Zod uses a blue kryptonite dagger to make him and Clark human, and keep them from ascending. Clark intentionally stabs himself with it and falls off the roof of a building, leaving Zod without its protection and forcing him to ascend with the others off of Earth. Episode Titles:
Episode 1 "Lazarus"
Episode 3 "Supergirl"
Episode 4 "Homecoming"
Episode 5 "Isis"
Episode 6 "Harvest"
Scoops:
- Clark and Lois will head up to a ghost town in episode 6, titled 'Harvest.' In this episode, Clark will not have his powers.
- Lois' father and sister will return for an episode set to air in late October.
- Speaking of returns, Brainiac will be back for the series 200th episode.
- Carter Hall (aka Hawkman) will return in Season 10's second episode, presumably to help Clark & Co. fight this season's big bad. Clark gets assigned a new partner at the Daily Planet when Lois takes a temporary leave. The character, who seems to be hiding something, is very vocal in her disdain for masked superheroes.
- Clark's new partner at the Daily Planet has got some major DC Comics cred. The character's name is Cat Grant.
- Laura Vandervoort has inked a deal to reprise her role as Kara.

ABCBody of Proof (1st Season)
New Show!
Premise: Dr. Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) was in a class of her own, a brilliant neurosurgeon at the top of her game. Her world is turned upside down when a devastating car accident puts an end to her time in the operating room.

Megan’s instincts are sharp, but she’s developed a reputation for graying the lines of where her job ends and where the police department’s begins. It turns out her career isn’t the only thing that will need to be rebuilt; Megan’s family has taken a backseat to her ambition, and now she’ll discover there’s a lot of work to do when it comes to dissecting her relationships with the living.

CSI: New York (September 24th, 7th Season)Where we left off:
Shane Casey is found and arrested, but quickly escapes again. While the team attempts to track him down again, Danny and Lindsay spend their time off with their daughter to go on vacation in Long Island. After Mac discovers that Casey has murdered his former cell mate, the team determine Danny and Lindsey is his next target. Fortunately, he leaves out clues to lead them to where Casey is; a lighthouse. Casey holds Danny at gunpoint in that lighthouse, while allowing Lindsey to escape. As Police surround the lighthouse, Danny is able to disarm Casey and during the struggle, Casey apparently falls to his death. Though his body wasn't found, the team assume he drowned. In the end however, Danny wakes up in the middle of the night to hear his daughter crying. When he enters her bedroom, he finds Casey holding her, and prepared to kill Danny. The episode ends in a cliffhanger, where a gunshot is heard. Promo:
Scoop:
- First episode titled 34th floor.
- The new season picks up right after the finale's events, and somebody will be carried away in a body bag. Then, the story jumps ahead five months, to Lindsay receiving a medal for her bravery. But it's not an award she's thrilled to get, as you'll learn when you listen in on Lindsay's sessions with a therapist.
- Melina Kanakaredes may not be returning to wrap up her story line, but producers still plan to give her character, Stella, a dignified send-off. They chose not to go the route of killing her off or having her go missing. Viewers will learn during the show's Sept. 24 premiere that Stella relocated to New Orleans. She left to run a lab there and she picked that city because it's the city of Katrina, the city of BP oil, the city where people are looking for someone to lend a hand. She'll essentially be Mac in New Orleans.
- Sela Ward is joining the Series in the season premiere as an investigator from Washington, D.C., who is basically the anti-Mac Taylor, using empathy to feed her desire to aid victims.
FOX:
The Good Guys (September 24th, 1.5th Season)
I liked the premise of this show when it started a few months back. But it grew tiresome quickly, surprised it's coming back.
How it ended: A hit is put out on a protected Federal witness after Dan accidentally exposes his cover.
The CW:
Supernatural (September 24th, 6th Season)Promo:
Where it was left: Chuck begins to narrate the life and times of the Impala and the boys life inside of it. Chuck reveals their time spent in the Impala and how they made it their home throughout the years before and after they began hunting. Remembering a comment made by Lucifer in the future, Dean realizes that the fallen angel is in Detroit. Sam and Dean confront Lucifer, who knows of their plan to use the Horsemen's rings to trap him back in his cage. Despite this, Sam offers himself as a vessel, hoping that he can overcome Lucifer's control and throw himself into the prison. Lucifer is too strong, and Sam disappears in his body. As Lucifer tries to make Sam happy by killing the demons sent by Azazel to manipulate him during his childhood, Dean learns from Chuck the time and location of the final battle between Michael and Lucifer. The following day at the battleground—Stull Cemetery in Lawrence, Kansas—Lucifer tries to talk Michael out of fighting, but he refuses. However, Castiel interrupts the fight by banishing Michael with holy fire. An angry Lucifer kills Castiel, and then snaps Bobby's neck when he shoots him. He then starts brutally beating Dean, but stops when he notices an old army man of Sam's inside the Impala revealed earlier during Chuck's narration. Sam remembers his life growing up with Dean, and manages to take control of his body. He uses the rings to reopen the door to the cage, and prepares to jump inside. Michael returns and tries to stop him, but he too is pulled into the pit while grappling with Sam. Castiel, resurrected again as an angel, heals Dean and brings Bobby back to life. He returns to Heaven, hoping to bring order now that Michael is gone. As Dean attempts to move on, he seems to turn his back on hunting and returns to Lisa. Chuck smiles after finishing his narration of the story, and vanishes into thin air. Later that night, a streetlight flickers out and Sam is revealed outside Lisa's home, looking in the window at the "family" eating dinner together.
Scoops:
- The show is adding a new angel who's gone a bit rogue. The possibly recurring character is described as an attractive charmer who appears slightly manic on the surface but carries a great sadness.
- When season 6 opens, Dean -- sans amulet -- has been living with Lisa Braeden and her son, Ben, for a year, believing that Sam is dead. Lisa will be recurring in the first half of the season.
- Fredric Lehne will return as the series' original baddie, the Yellow Eyed Demon, also known as Azazel. The season premiere will be titled 'A Weekend at Bobby's.'

Premise: BLUE BLOODS is a drama about a multi-generational family of cops dedicated to New York City law enforcement. Frank Reagan is the New York City Police Commissioner and heads both the police force and the Reagan brood. He runs his department as diplomatically as he runs his family, even when dealing with the politics that plagued his unapologetically bold father, Henry, during his stint as Chief. A source of pride and concern for Frank is his eldest son Danny, a seasoned detective, family man, and Iraqi War vet who on occasion uses dubious tactics to solve cases. The sole Reagan woman in the family, Erin, is a N.Y. Assistant D.A. and newly single parent, who also serves as the legal compass for her siblings and father. Jamie is the youngest Reagan, fresh out of Harvard Law and the family's "golden boy;" however, unable to deny the family tradition, Jamie decided to give up a lucrative future in law and is now a newly minted cop. Jamie's life takes an abrupt turn when he's asked to become part of a clandestine police investigation even his father knows nothing about, and one that could impact the family's legacy.
