How I Met Your Mother – Entering its 9th and final season, the show finally introduced the titular mother in last spring’s finale. This entire season will take place over the weekend of Barney and Robin’s wedding, but should have some flashbacks and flashforwards involving the mother.
Bones – Also returning for its 9th season, Bones starts the year on Mondays but is scheduled to move to Fridays after the World Series. Replacing it on Mondays will be
Almost Human – Brought to us by some of the good folks responsible for Fringe, I’ll give this a shot, assuming it ever does show up on Mondays.

2 Broke Girls – Entering its 3rd season, it is time to accept that this show is not going to change. It will continue to feature two talented leads and surround them with base racial stereotypes and humor aimed towards the lowest common denominator. To this point, the charm of the leads has been enough to overcome bad things about the show. At some point, though, that is bound to change.
Sleepy Hollow – The new show takes Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman and brings them from the Revolutionary War to the present day. I was not very impressed with the pilot, but I’ll give it a few weeks to see if it improves.
