Summer television is frivolous and fun and silly. It’s great. However, fall television is much more engaging. Even the comedy shows have dramatic twists and interesting plots during the fall season. And 2010 is shaping up to have some very fascinating shows for us.

Top New Network TV Shows to Watch For

The shows that many people are anticipating most are the new pilots that are about to air on the leading networks. Some of the ones to watch on ABCCBSNBC and FOX are:

  • No Ordinary Family. This new ABC show features a superpower crime-fighting family that is also dealing with their own normal human problems. This sounds like a lot of funny drama in the making!
  • Better Together. ABC also has another family comedy that looks appealing. It’s the tale of two sisters who approach love very differently and reveal the silliness of humanity in the process.
  • Raising Hope. Another intriguing family comedy is Raising Hope, the story of a young family taking on a new baby unexpectedly and dealing with what life throws at them as a result.
  • Criminal Minds Spinoff. In the middle of the season CBS is going to be launching a spinoff show of the popular crime drama. Think CSI: Miami and CSI: New York but for Criminal Minds lovers.
  • Defenders. Another pilot for crime show lovers to watch is this CBS show about two Las Vegas defense attorneys.
  • Off the Map. Also mid-season we can look forward to a new medical drama from ABC. Its special twist is that it’s set in a small South American village.

Additional pilots that might be worth noting include Chase and Outsourced on NBC, Bob’s Burgers (animation) and Mixed Signals on FOX, Mike & Molly and Bluebloods on CBS and My Generation and The Whole Truth on ABC.

Interesting Plot Changes on Favorite Network TV Shows

Of course, people watch their favorite networks channels because of the old shows that they’ve grown to love. Some of them are looking forward to some truly interesting plot twists. Ones worth keeping an eye on in fall 2010:

  • Criminal Minds. It will certainly be interesting to see what happens in the sixth season of this popular psychological crime drama especially since it will have to vie for attention with its own spinoff show.
  • Bones. The new season of this comedic crime show will hopefully show Bones and Booth making a final decision one way or another about their ongoing romantic relationship.
  • House. The popular medical drama hasn’t failed to keep taking plot twists with its characters’ lives. The 7th season should be no different.
  • Desperate Housewives. What will these crazy ladies do next? And who will be the mystery person to follow in the new season? We’re on the edge of our seats.

Other leading network TV shows that return in the fall and may surprise us with great plot twists include Law and Order: SVU, Brothers and Sisters, Lie to Me, Glee, Private Practice and The Office.

Leading Cable TV Shows to Watch

There are so many channels on cable that it’s tough to keep track of the best things to watch in any given season. However, there are some must-watch shows for people who are avid satellite or cable TV watchers. For HBO lovers, those shows include the new season of In Treatment. Unfortunately, viewers will have to wait until next Summer to see new episodes of Hung, Entourage, and True Blood. If you’re a Showtime fan then you’ll want to set your TV to record Weeds, Dexter and the new series The Big C with Laura Linney. On Lifetime, you don’t want to miss the new season of Project Runway as well as the new spinoff show Austin and Santino on the Road.
