5.Raising Hope
The story of a young man, and his delinquent family, raising a baby after the mother has been sentenced to death.
This program features quite a few relative unknowns, but when the creators are the same as those that created My Name is Earl, we get the potential for a lot of random and wonderful humor.
4.Big Bang Theory
Now entering it's 4th season, many of us are already familiar with Dr. Seldon Cooper, Penny, Leonard, Raj, and Howard.
This season throws a new twist into the Big Bang mix, as Sheldon now actually seems to have a girlfriend. With "nerd chic" being at an all time high, what with all the comic book based movies in the works, Big Bang may be poised for their best season yet.
Oh, and if you ever though of jerking it with a robot arm, you may wanna check out the clip from episode 1 of season 4.
3.Better With You
A program about three couples and their time together, sounds very reminiscent of Modern Family: The Complete First Season
(Which will not be included in this list because if you are not watching it you might as well smash your TV with a sledge hammer because you are a moron who doesn't deserve nice things). This show, however features a cast that based on episode 1 already have a phenomenal chemistry, and stars Kurt Fuller, the only man to ever lock up the Ghostbusters.2.Eastbound and Down
As with all TV show lists, the top spots are almost always reserved for HBO programming..."Have you seen Sunday night programming on HBO? It's incredible!"...This Fall season is a special one because it marks the return of the one and only, Kenny Fucking Powers.
Kenny has made his way to Mexico, after having baseball screw him over one more time. Now known as Steve, the cockfighter, Kenny tries to make a new life for himself, but sometimes it's hard to shake America's pastime.
1.Boardwalk Empire
Steve Buscemi, Martin Scorsese, Terence Winter....This is not a new blockbuster film, but the greatest new show on television. Set in the era of 1920's prohibition we follow the tale of "Nucky" Thompson, based on the real Enoch "Nucky" Johnson, and his rule over Atlantic City as one of the first gangsters.
The show introduces us to the beginnings of such famous mobsters as "Lucky" Luciano and Al Capone, and provides all the backdrop and drama surrounding the era.
Boardwalk Empire does take some liberties with history, but all in an effort of providing us with the drama and storytelling that Winter, of Sopranos fame, is known for.
If you aren't already, you may wanna start shelling out the extra 10 dollars a month for HBO...trust me it's worth it.
Honorable Mentions
The following shows are also either new to TV or returning, and are worth a watch or two...
Smallville
Now in it's final season. For Man of Steel nerds like me, we might finally get to see the Red, Blue, and Yellow on the man himself.
Outsourced
Although not as hilarious as I had hoped, this one has some serious potential.
Fringe
After the mind bender that was last season, I have high hopes for more amazing action from Walter and crew.
