Fall TV 2013 Premiere Dates

It seems like just yesterday we were all freaking out about impending upfronts, the state of our barely thriving DVRs in a time of mass finales, and the long, dark, lonely months without in-season programming. However, through the magic of quality summer television (and the fact that time seems to be occurring in a vacuum these days), we’re on the precipice of having to decide which new shows to try out, which old favorites won’t make the cut, and whether or not we watch too much television. If such a thing exists, of course.

Listed below are the premiere dates for 2013 fall TV, programs that will be premiering between September and December. Also noted below are any special airings, time slot shifts, or other confusing elements of television scheduling that could cause a show you’ve been looking forward to to get lost in the shuffle. Not every network has completed their fall announcements yet, but when information is released, this space will be updated accordingly.

Which shows are you most looking forward to this fall? What’s the heaviest night for you, in terms of program distribution? How does the fall of 2013 compare to previous years in terms of number (and quality) of television shows?
