The biggest switches are Glee to Thursdays and Touch to Fridays.

I think Touch may be a better lead in to Fringe. But we'll see.
I'm also surprised they're moving Glee to Thursdays. It has faired much poorer this year than last on a bit of a softer night. What will moving it to a show heavy night do?

I was just about to get excited for Arrow - until I saw that Justin Hartley wasn't playing the title character. I might give it a try but I'm afraid I'll be daydreaming about Ollie and his fantastic abs to the point of serious distraction!

Beauty & The Beast reboot - WHYYYYYY??? Re-imagine it, fine. But to use the same character names and everything? UGH! I guess the CW figures that it worked with the rip-off Nikita.

I'm not sure that Fridays can be considered the death spot anymore. Considering that of the sci-fi trifecta currently on air - all are quality shows and doing well. Plus Blue Bloods is pretty strong.

I may give Elementary and Vegas a shot if they don't conflict with any of my existing shows.

Also when I think about it with the economy being what it is instead of going out to eat and a movie on Friday night I can see alot of families staying home to eat and watching TV at home since it is less expensive to do so and therefore better ratings for the Friday shows.

Numb3rs, another of my favorites, also did six seasons well on Friday nights. I love having good shows to watch on Friday as on every other day of the week.

There were a lot of really good new shows this past season. Unfortunately most of my favorites didn't make the cut. I'm going to try to distance myself from most of the new ones unless they seem REALLY interesting. So far, from the descriptions/cast I read only 1 really catches my interest: Vegas. Interesting premise & interesting cast.

I realize I keep saying this, but I'm trying to cut out competition reality shows. So far, I've gotten away from Bachelor Shows, Survivor, the cooking show about Plates in 80 Days, and a few more, but I can't seem to shake Dancing With the Stars and American Idol. I think my disgust with the judges over this current season will be enough to deter me from watching them another season, UNLESS they get all new judges.

I want to stay away from THe X Factor this season. Brittany and the other new girl judge just makes me VERY disinterested. The only reason I watched last season was because of Rachel Crow. She was the only thing I liked about the show. Sorry Simon.

The majority of my favorite shows will still be there for me when the fall season rolls around, but I'm always interested in adding something new to my line-up.

Glad David Krumholtz is coming back (Partners) but given that The Playboy Club didn't even last long enough for me to realize he was a part of it, I won't reserve a parking space for it on my dvr just yet.

Sherlock is all the rage, so I'm not surprised to see someone come up with a show, just like the non-surprises with anything Fairy Tale related. Sorry, but Once Upon A Time is enough for me.

Yes, but it's lead-in is (the awful) Whitney. I'm getting echoes of what NBC did to Chuck in its last season (move it to Fridays and give it 13 episodes). Better than nothing, I guess.

I'm going to be very succinct - the BBC may sue the producers of "Elementary" because save a female Watson (WHY?!?) and location the theme of Sherlock in present day IS being done overseas with "Sherlock" and here reading the synopsis it's almost a literal word for word experience. (To be different it has to have three differences I believe, and I can see two).

I agree on too many reality shows in the mix, and most of them right now are so bad be it gimmick casting, bad judging the like, it's hard to even watch the shows anymore.
