The arrival of the Fall TV Preview Issue of Entertainment
Weekly is one of my favorite events of the year, it’s kind of like Christmas
Eve but I get to open presents for days and days. There are new shows to learn
about, premiere dates and teasers for existing shows and my secret favorite
part…planning my weekly TV schedule. I
have carefully curated some resources for you to make your own list.
See previews
and reviews of the Fall 2012 Series, including midseason shows
