In the US at least, this is the time of year that all the new shows start and old starts star their new seasons. What shows do you all plan to watch regularly?

Old shows I know I'll watch:

Bones
Fringe
Parks and Recreation
The Office
Curb Your Enthusiasm
House
The Big Bang Theory
Numb3rs
Lie to Me
Family Guy

New shows that might be good:

Bored to Death
Community
The Cleveland Show
Stargate Universe

    Big Bang Theory, The
    Cleveland Show, The
    Family Guy
    How I Met Your Mother
    South Park
    Venture Bros.

    Didn't see any new shows I wanted to watch, except maybe FrankensTime which...I thought was supposed to be part of the Fall adult swim schedule but I've literally seen NOTHING about it outside of Dino's forum posts.

    EDIT: Oh, I may see Stargate: Universe. With my luck, I'll hate it at first, and when I finally warm up to it it'll be cancelled.

    I do tend to watch mostly American TV shows so out of the ones that have already started or are starting soon I will be watching:

    Bones
    Fringe
    Stargate: Universe
    Heroes

    and in the new year:

    24
    Caprica
    Lost

    As for British shows, apart from the odd special here and there I only really tend to watch Top Gear which does start again in the autumn.

    I forgot about Stargate Universe :) I added it to my list.

    I live in the UK, so it'll be less 'what shows will you watch' and more 'what shows will you download'. ;)

    For me, it'll be Smallville (despite being disappointed with the last half of Season 8), Heroes (for my father rather then me), Fringe, Family Guy and the first few episodes of The Cleveland Show, to see if I like it or not.

    As for UK shows, I'll be watching (and probably end up disliking) the Doctor Who specials, and the new series of Merlin, which starts tonight.

    RE: Old shows - I've been getting into CSI (the original), ReGenesis and New Tricks. Detective-type shows, basically.

    Old shows that I love:

    The Office
    Dexter

    New shows that look interesting:

    Modern Family
    Flash Forward
    V

    And shows that I'm still not sure if I like:

    Glee - like the humor, not so much the singing
    Community - hilarious actors, but it could get old fast
    House - hoping it improves from last season

    Don't mean to derail the topic, but I just watched the Cleveland Show pilot, and I have to ask: Why couldn't this have been done within Family Guy, again? It's the same damn show... snarky pervert baby, fat son who's slow on the uptake, quirky neighbors, etc. The only difference is that the daughter isn't an outcast, and the main character isn't a complete fool.

    The gags were still humorous (albeit even more forced than usual), and the falling bathtub joke never gets old, but I can't see this lasting for more than half a season. Cleveland is my favorite supporting character, but half an hour devoted to him is way too much. At least the "Dat's what I tole you befo'" gag seemed to indicate that even Seth realizes how stupid the premise is.

    I thought it was a joke when I first saw it advertised. I've seen enough of Family Guy to know the basic format and The Cleveland Show looks practically identical. Does Cleveland really have that much of a following?

    Eureka (although I don't think that's back until summer of 2010)
    Psych
    House

    (Debating whether or not to watch the new season of Scare Tactics)

    24 (once it starts back up)
    Eleventh Hour (same)
    Fringe
    Bones
    Numb3rs

    and whatever Lifetime movies come my way.

    Shows I'll watch but probably not record:
    Glee
    Medium
    Monk
    In Plain Sight

    I think Eleventh Hour got canceled =/.

    South Park
    All of the comedies on NBC Thursdays
    Glee
    Conan, Fallon, Stewart and Colbert
    Important Things With Demetri Martin

    Okay, I know I cheated on that last one, but there's really not that much to watch.

    Dollhouse - Am I the only one watching this? It's awesome.

    House - The new season started with a hour and a half of awesomeness, so I'm pretty much hooked.

    Fringe - Season 1 finale promised so much. So when Season 2 started I was hoping we get more of that, instead it seems they are back on the slow, boring stuff. I'm still going to watch it, but it's a shame they decided to slow it down like that.

    How I Met Your Mother - Needless to say, this show is Legen-- ...wait for it ... --dary!

    The Big Bang Theory - You got to love that show. It's not big or serious, but the little nerd in me finds it hillarious.

    Supernatural - Sam and Dean are back! Angels, demons and an awesome soundtrack. What more do I need?

    Monk - last season. I'm watching it.

    Shows I'm skipping:

    Heroes - Too much plotholes, too much loose ends, boring characters and people randomly changing their motivation.

    Star Gate Universe - I might check it out, maybe it would be better than that "Sanctuary" crap. But I highly doubt it.

    I agree.
