You can read a little about - and see a programming grid of - NBC's fall schedule here.

You can read about CBS' 7 new fall shows here. (A show with Jonny Lee Miller and Aidan Quinn? Me likey! Even if Lucy Liu is there, too. And I'm very happy Jason O'Mara has another gig, though I'm slightly wary about its survival odds. Dude has to fall into some TV luck SOME time, right?!)
