It's my second favorite time of year (the first being awards/red carpet season): Fall TV season!  August and September bring such possibility for series debuts, and the sadistic fun of predicting which will succeed and fail.  But it's also when I narrow the pack down to the few that will be incorporated into rotation on my TV watching roster.  Here are the five new shows I can't wait to watch.
