My Picks for the 2007-2008 TV Season

Well, the season finales are still in full force, but now that all five networks have presented their line-ups at the Upfronts this week, we now know the Official Fall and (more or less) Spring 2007-2008 Television Schedule.

Personally, all of my shows pulled through, those being 24, Desperate Housewives, Supernatural, ER, House, and Heroes (with Heroes also gaining the supplemental "Heroes: Origins" to really bulk up in its second season to 30 episodes). All keeping their normal timeslots, no less.

However, this year the networks have a slew of awesome (at least judging from their descriptions) new programs lined up, some with seemingly unlimited potential for critical success. It's also important to note the influence that the success of "Heroes" this past season has had ... because all five networks have added at least one, if not more, sci-fi or supernatural-based dramas, even CBS (shocking, isn't it?).

Here I'll go over my #1 pick from each network, out of SEVERAL new programs that were announced this week, the ones that I personally will definitely be checking out.

ABC is introducing more new shows this year than any of the other five networks. Yet out of all of those new programs, only one will I definitely be checking out, and that's "Cavemen," the new sitcom based on the GEICO cavemen starring three ... well ... under-evolved men living together in Atlanta. Will it flop? Who knows, but a worthwhile sitcom is really hard to find these days. Regardless, "Desperate Housewives" returns in its normal timeslot as the show heads into its fourth season.

The peacock is introducing THREE new science fiction dramas this fall (but no supernatural ones), due obviously to the success of "Heroes," which by the way as I mentioned before, is getting star treatment from the network (as well it should). "Bionic Woman," a remake of the 1976 series, which itself was a spin-off of "The Six Million Dollar Man," seems to have the most potential out of all of NBC's new programs. "ER" returns for an amazing 14th season, remaining the best medical drama on TV, and "Heroes" jumps to the frontlines as NBC's forerunner.
