It’s that time of year again.  The new fall season is upon us.  Time to delve into the offerings that will clog up the DVR every Sunday night.

7:00

Once Upon A Time – ABC found themselves a winner last year with this series about fairy tale characters who have been forced to live in the real world thanks to the evil Queen.  Last season ended with the characters remembering their true selves, which promises a new status quo for season 2.

The Good Wife – Thanks to the great DVR crash of 2012, I missed the last few episodes of last season.  While never flashy, this show is always solid.  The big problem in the fall will be catching the entire episode when football runs long.

Revenge – ABC’s other breakout hit of last season moves from Wednesday to Sunday as Emily VanCamp continues her secret rampage through the Hamptonites that ruined her father’s life.  This was a surprisingly good soap that delivered the goods last season.

Dexter – Speaking of shaking up the status quo, last season ended with Jennifer Carpenter’s Deb walking in on Dexter mid-murder.  To make things more interesting, former Chuck star Yvonne Strahovski joins the crew at Miami Metro.

The Walking Dead – Zombies return to AMC in mid-October, with our group of survivors three months down the line from the events that drove them from the farm that served as their home last season.

9:00

The Mentalist – Entering it’s 5th season, the show moves from anchoring Thursday nights to Sundays.  While still enjoyable, the show is starting to show its age, which may have had something to do with the move to a less competitive night.

666 Park Avenue – The first new show to make an appearance.  Vanessa Williams and Terry O’Quinn return to ABC in this supernatural soap that looks to combine the core audiences of its 2 lead ins.  After Lost, I’m willing to give anything O’Quinn does a try.

Homeland – Showtime’s breakout hit from last year returns with both Damian Lewis and Claire Danes back as the former POW who may be plotting against his nation and the CIA analyst obsessed with him.
