Returning Shows
Brothers And Sisters
Last Season: Kevin and Scotty tied the knot, Uncle Saul came out and Rebecca revealed that she's not a Walker (there's another "R" Walker!).  What's Next? We'll meet mystery Walker sibling Ryan, there're big changes at Ojai, Kitty and Robert look into adopting and (finally!) more Justin/Rebecca lovin'.

Chuck
Last Season: Questions came up about whether Chuck is still "necessary" as the intersect.
What's Next? Chuck and Sarah make-outs, wedding planning for Ellie and Awesome and major guest stars like Nicole Richie, John Larroquette, Melinda Clarke and Jordana Brewster.

Cold Case
Last Season: Lilly faced her demons after getting shot and learning of her mother's death. She continued to solve mysteries, but clashed with a narcotics officer, Saccardo (Bobby Cannavale).  What's Next: The team puts its sleuthing skills to work solving deaths of a college football player, inner city school teacher and marine.

Criminal Minds
Last Season: Joe Mantegna replaced serial show-ditcher Mandy Patinkin; in the season finale, a car with a team member inside exploded.  What's Next? It depends on whose car was bombed and how severe their injuries are. Will it be Hotch? JJ? We'll find out in the opener.

CSI
Last Season: Sara escaped death, then bailed on Gil and the CSIs. Warrick was shot and left for dead by the undersheriff.  What's Next? Major changes: Sara returns for three eps, Grissom leaves 'CSI' later this fall, Lauren Lee Smith joins the cast and Laurence Fishburne joins as Grissom's replacement.

CSI Miami
Last Season: Callie was kidnapped and saved, ME Alexx quit and her replacement was killed after a whopping five minutes on the job. Horatio learned he was a father, then was shot (dead?) in the finale.  What's Next? Fear not, Horatio and his sunglasses will survive and the search is on to find his shooter.

CSI New York
Last Season: Mac was kidnapped in an elaborate bank robbery scheme.  What's Next? The team investigates the murder of a woman with ties to the bank robbery -- and Flack. Mac is safe, but as he tracks down the kidnapper he discovers an ever growing trail of bodies.

Grey's Anatomy
Last Season: Alex kissed Izzie, Callie kissed Erica Hahn and Meredith and Derek FINALLY got together -- for realz, this time. We think.  What's Next? Cristina gets a love interest; Jeffrey Dean Morgan returns as dead Denny, so troublemaker Katherine Heigl probably won't be killed off (though maybe they meet in heaven?).

House
Last Season: House and Wilson's friendship was put to the ultimate test -- can Wilson see past his girlfriend's death and forgive his buddy?  What's Next? A new face in the hospital: guest star (and possible spin-off star) Michael Weston will play a private eye. And we'll finally get scoop on Cameron and Chase!

Meanwhile, Barney was left in a full-body cast after being hit by a bus in front of the hospital.  What's Next?

Law And Order SVU
Last Season: Nearly every perv in the city crawled out from under their rocks to perplex and harass Detectives Benson and Stabler.  What's Next? More rocks, more pervs ... and Josh Brolin and Josh Charles, both of whom guest-star (NOT as rapists) in the upcoming season.

Without A Trace
Last Season: Jack went off the rails and was demoted after getting too invested in a teen he saved from sex traffickers.  What's Next? The series moves to Tuesday nights (yay!). Will Jack try to play baby-daddy to Sam's son? Steven Weber joins the cast as Jack's replacement.

Mid-Season Shows
Big Love
When we last saw the Henricksons (summer of 2007), Bill was thinking about taking a fourth wife, Barb outed the family to the neighbors and Alby had taken over the UEB. In season 3, the new-wife candidate, waitress Ana, sticks around, which doesn't go over well with first wife Barb or her polygamy-hating daughter, Sarah.

Castle
You had us at "Nathan Fillion." The 'Firefly' and 'Desperate Housewives' star returns to a lead role in this midseason replacement. Fillion plays a mystery novelist who is called upon by the police to solve murders -- replicated from his own books. Should we expect some killer writing? (Ha ha.)

Dollhouse
Creator Joss Whedon reunites with 'Buffy' alum Eliza Dushku for this slick sci-fi series about a group of brainwashed "dolls" implanted with skills to perform various tasks, until one of them starts to gain her own consciousness. Sounds cool, right? Well, don't get too attached: Production was recently halted so Whedon could rewrite the scripts, which means 'Dollhouse' may go the way of 'Firefly.'

Harper's Island
This new slasher-thriller has all the elements of a so-bad-it's-good horror movie, with a simple trip to a cursed island for a wedding weekend getting interrupted by a murderous stalker. They're promising that someone will die every week, but since this one's on network TV, we probably won't get to see the best parts.

The "L" Word
Showtime's lesbian drama comes to an end after six seasons, but there's good news at least for Alice (Leisha Hailey) fans -- she's getting a spinoff. As for the remaining 8 episodes, expect guest stars galore, including Elizabeth Berkley, as a straight girl from Bette's (Jennifer Beals) past. Fun fact: Berkley and Beals are BFF.

Law And Order
Jack McCoy only became the D.A. last season; by the finale, his future looked grim. But 'L&O' doesn't do the long story arc thing, so expect him to stay put, and as usual, more ripped from the headline stories, B-list guest stars and a developing rapport between newish partners Lupo and Bernard.

Lost
Just because we know the Oceanic Six got off the island doesn't mean we know diddly yet. This season, we'll finally get Rousseau's story, we'll see Jin and Locke again, and Faraday's notebook will play a big role. Also, 'Lost' producers have promised a narrative device that's neither flashbacks nor flash forwards. Maybe the smoke will do voiceovers?

Medium
High-profile stars must like spooky stories, because they continue to show up as guests on 'Medium.' Anjelica Huston and Kelly Preston played roles last season, while Blythe Danner has signed up for a spot in season 5.

Nip/Tuck
Last season's move to L.A. pumped up the outrageous -- and yes, often unbelievable -- factor at McNamara/Troy. (Who would've guessed Sean's agent would snap and start stuffing people like build-a-bears?) Now that the guys are settled in to their new lives in Hollywood, maybe they can get back to boob jobs and lunchtime lipo.

Nurse Jackie
Serial killers, drug dealers, kings with a penchant for execution -- there are very few heroes on cable TV today who aren't devastatingly flawed, and Edie Falco's 'Nurse Jackie' is no exception. A pill-popping, take-no-prisoners caretaker, she often ditches her oaths to treat patients the fair way, but with an extra dose of irresistible attitude.

The United States of Tara
Three big screen names have teamed up for this fresh-faced comedy series about dissociative identity disorder. Diablo Cody wrote the pilot, created by Steven Spielberg, and actress Toni Collette will play each and every one of Tara's personalities.
