What is everyone planning on watching when the US season starts back? Last year was a bit of a dud and I only really started one or two series, but this year seems like there is a better selection. I'm going to try out: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Back in the Game Mixology Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Resurrection Super Fun Night Hostages The 100 Reign Star-Crossed Almost Human Sleepy Hollow Us & Them (Gavin and Stacey remake. Will probably be dreadful) Wayward Pines Believe Crisis Crossbones Dracula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013%E2%80%9314_United_States_network_television_scheduleProbably half will be cancelled and I will be surprised if I stick with more than about half a dozen, but these are the ones that seem the most interesting.

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D Once Upon A Time In Wonderland Dracula
Definitely these if they get picked up by UK broadcasters (Dracula actually already has been - it airs on Sky Living in the Autumn). And if no-one picks up Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. I will be angry! (Crazy Marvel fan here!)

That seems to be the show that is getting the most buzz, I'll be very surprised if it doesn't get picked up. Last year there were networks in Ireland that were showing series even after they had been cancelled in the US (though they had probably bought them before) so I will be shocked if AOS doesn't get a home over this way, somewhere. Probably Sky1.

I think this year I'll be starting Agents of SHIELD and OUATinWonderland. I haven't heard a great deal about many of the others in fairness, plus I just don't have the time to keep up with so many shows nowadays I can't remember what I started last year apart from 666 Park Avenue, which was a bit of a let down but I stuck it out to the end anyway.

The CW are stepping up their game this year. Their list is the most interesting of the lot. Super Fun Night I will be checking out just because Rebel Wilson is in it and she's great. I'm not as escited about SHIELD as I thought I would be. OUATIW is going to be great, I'm sure. Dracula, Cross Bones and Sleepy Hollow will also get a look in.

My list is similar to TC's, except I won't be bothering with Mixology, Crisis or Hostages. They are all crying out for cancellation already based on the synopsis.

For UK pace/TV viewers: Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. has been picked up by Channel 4 in the UK. They have also picked up Hostages, The 100 & The Tomorrow People - I'd expect some of these air across the 4 Network not specifically on Channel 4, whereas S.H.I.E.L.D. seems to definitely be heading for the main channel.

The 100 will definitely be on E4, I think. That's just their type of show. Hostages on main channel. Tomorrow People I'm not sure. More4, maybe?

Don't know- been ages since I've watched More4 so I can't recall what type of programming they have. It could be another E4 one I guess.

We should play the cancellation game and make bets about what will go first and then what will go second etc.

I sat last night and watched the trailers for all the new shows and I changed my mind on a lot of them. Some of them I am ditching because the trailers looked rubbish, and other ones that I'd written off because they didn't sound good have ended up on my pilot list now because the trailers looked good. I don't usually go for too many each year, but I've got 17 this year. There's a few that probably won't get past the pilot episode though. I'm going with...
Agents of SHIELD Back in the Game Lucky 7 Once Upon A Time in Wonderland Resurrection Super Fun Night Trophy Wife The Crazy Ones The 100 Reign Star Crossed The Tomorrow People Sleepy Hollow Welcome to the Family Dracula Michael J Fox Show Sean Saves the World

17? Nice! I'm going to give The Night Shift (NBC) a go. I've got an advance screener of the pilot from a website I write reviews for, so I'll be interested to see how it is. Especially as I work nights and love Greys
