What to Watch: Fall 2011 Television Premiere Dates
Howdy folks, it’s about that time again where fall barrages us with a ton of new and returning programming. Dust off your DVRs, make popcorn and get comfy because there’s a lot of TV lined up this fall. I’ve compiled a guide that includes all the most important (and some less than important) Fall Television Premiere dates for scripted television. I’ve included all the shows that I personally recommend, as well as shows that are generally interesting, geeky, fun or I just thought you should know about. If a show isn’t on the list let me know, it might be because I missed it, it doesn’t premiere until 2012, or because it sucks. Feel free to contact me if you think a show that I’ve left out should be included.
All times listed are in EST, I’ve done my best to find the Canadian air dates and channels for each program, not every show will air in Canada, and some stations haven’t released their schedules yet. I will keep this list as current as possible. Enjoy.

SO STOKED for Sons of Anarchy. Beyond stoked, actually.
I can’t wait for Vampire Diaries and The Walking Dead to return. I’m anxious to see Ringer as well. Hopefully it doesn’t suck.

Looking forward to SOA, Walking Dead, Vampire Diaries and a few of the new shows.
Those seem to be the most popular picks so far.
So far the reviews for the Ringer have been pretty good as long as you
know what to expect, it is a CW show although it claims to be a bit
darker. Really it’ll be a treat to have SMG on TV again.
As for Vampire Diaries – I’m so psyched!
I want to be more excited for The Walking Dead – the teasers look great
aesthetically, but I’m having a hard time getting pumped to hang with
the characters again.
D’ya got your cut ready for Sept 6th? Yeah I know you do.
