Fall TV is in full swing, with a dozen new shows premiering this week alone, so we understand if you're a little confused on what to watch. Let us make it easy for you, then: Watch "Last Resort." ABC's new military thriller, about the crew of a Navy nuclear submarine getting caught up in an international crisis, wowed us with a nail-bitingly tense pilot that kept us right on the edge of our sofas; it's like a rip-roarin' Tom Clancy novel brought vividly to life on the small screen.

So what makes it so good? Well, read on: We've come up with a half-dozen reasons why we're ready to salute "Last Resort" as this fall's best new drama.

It has one of the most intriguing premises in years
We can't tell you how many TV pilots we have to sit through each year that are some variation on "An eccentric detective solves weekly mysteries!" or "A bunch of young friends help each other get through life!" So it's a relief to see something a little different, and "Last Resort" is definitely that: a

It certainly wasn't a typical day in the office when the stars of "Guys With Kids" stopped by our New York City studio for an interview this week. Anthony Anderson exercised his trademark sense of humor to the max, taking over the makeup room, applying foundation for one of the Yahoo! show hosts, and joking around with everyone else he encountered, from the sound technician to this interviewer. When the cameras started rolling, he and his costars Zach Cregger and Jesse Bradford continued to deliver big laughs while talking about playing BFF dads on the new family-friendly series, working for Jimmy Fallon, and crushing on "Vanessa Huxtable" -- better known as Tempestt Bledsoe, who plays Anderson's wife on the show.

It was hard to know exactly what was going to come out of their mouths next -- at one point during the interview, Bradford declared, "This is off the rails" -- but when we brought up Fallon, who is the show's executive

Ryan Hurst as Harry 'Opie' Winston (James Minchin III/FX)"Sons of Anarchy" isn't a lighthearted show. Fans have expected much more depth and intensity from creator Kurt Sutter, but what happened just three episodes into Season 5 proved to be a new turning point in the series, which scored big ratings with the installment (2.63 million among 18- to 49-year-olds). In fact, the episode beat out two 10PM network dramas to finish second in the time slot behind CBS' series premiere of "Vegas."

So what dramatic event had so many tuning in? A major character was killed off. While the death itself isn't unusual in TV drama, the fact that it happened early in the season is extraordinary. Sutter didn't wait until the finale to blow fans away.

Major spoilers lie ahead for those who haven't seen the episode "Laying Pipe."

"NCIS: LA" series star Eric Christian Olsen, who plays Detective Marty Deeks, puts his undercover skills to the test as he becomes Dean, a new page at the Paramount Studios Lot, where "NCIS: LA" is filmed. Olsen tries to go unrecognized as he gives tours to unsuspecting visitors.

Yahoo! TV chatted with Olsen about his impromptu prank.

Tell us how this prank came about.
I was standing by the "NCIS: LA" stages with Daniela Ruah [who plays Special Agent Kensi Blye], when one of the tour golf carts drove by with guests. I told Daniela that when I was little, I always wanted to be the tour guide on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland. The Paramount Lot Tour is potentially the same thing, minus the hippo. And the next thing I knew, I was in a Paramount Page outfit, going undercover as "Dean, the Paramount Page."

How long did you study the Paramount Studios Lot guide book?
Well, the Paramount Pages take about two weeks of classes. I dedicated a solid 60 minutes to the official guidebook,

When a TV comedy hits Season 8, it's only natural to think about shaking things up. And apparently, the producers of FX's charmingly crass bar comedy "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" agree, because they're getting rid of the entire Paddy's Pub gang and bringing in high-profile replacements like Haley Joel Osment and Andrew "Dice" Clay. Well, not really -- but a hilarious promo for the new season of "Sunny" (premiering October 11) wants you to think that.

The promo (which we have an exclusive first look at above) unveils the new-look "Sunny" lineup: Osment as Mac ("Hey-oh!"), Candace Cameron (fresh off her "Full House" reunion) as kitten-mitten-loving Charlie, rapper and ride-pimper Xzibit as Sweet Dee, UFC fighter Chael Sonnen (sans shirt, of course) as Dennis, and Dice as a gun-wielding Frank. The appearance by Osment is a nice inside joke for "Sunny" fans, who've been saying for years that "Sunny" star and creator Rob McElhenney looks just like a grown-up Osment. (And

(Television Without Pity) — After just a couple of episodes, NBC's new 2012 drama "Revolution" has already prompted a huge amount of questions -- and we're not even talking about the source and mechanics of the global power outage, which we presume (or rather, hope) will be answered eventually. No, we have these other queries in mind…

Why pick a crossbow over a regular bow and arrow, or even a sword? Crossbows are heavy to carry, cumbersome to load, and totally ineffective in a firefight.

Wouldn't everyone's clothes be more tattered? It's not like the Gap is still producing and distributing new clothing, yet everyone still looks perfectly coiffed, if a little dingy.

How does Miles expect Charlie and her friends to meet in Indiana, or find any destination, really? Are there maps available? No one seems to be using compasses and there don't appear to be any street signs anywhere in the overgrown woods.

How exactly were the rules of the Baltimore Act communicated to the general populace?

Dennis Quaid has had a long and successful career in film, tickling the ivories as Jerry Lee Lewis in "Great Balls of Fire!," taking flight as astronaut Gordon Cooper in "The Right Stuff," landing a spot on the major league roster as pro baller Jimmy Morris, and, yes, even playing Lindsay Lohan's dad in "The Parent Trap." Now 58, the Houston native is trying something new: television.

The project Quaid selected -- "Vegas" -- debuts tonight on CBS and tells the story of Sin City in the 1960s -- when cowboy country was taken over by neon, feathers, and mobsters. The actor plays Ralph Lamb, who was the real-life sheriff of Las Vegas, and he takes on the gangsters overrunning his Nevada city. Rounding out the cast on the hour-long drama are some other heavies, including Michael Chiklis, Carrie-Anne Moss, Jason O'Mara, and James Russo. Nicholas Pileggi, who wrote "Casino" (both the book and the screenplay for the Martin Scorsese film), is an executive producer.

Mindy Kaling has been Hollywood's next big thing for a while. Now, with her new sitcom set to premiere, 2012 might be the year when Kaling takes her fame to the next level.

The actress, best known for her role as Kelly Kapoor on "The Office," will star in "The Mindy Project," a show she created. In it, Kaling plays Mindy Lahiri, a young ob/gyn who has an obsession with romantic comedies.

So far, critics are into it. In his review, Robert Lloyd of the Los Angeles Times wrote, "I like this a lot." David Weigand of the San Francisco Chronicle wrote, "Kaling is more 'real' than most TV sitcom stars, and that's a welcome asset." TV Guide said that by "blending edgy humor with impractical idealism, the series reinvigorates tired tropes to deliver familiar stories in a modern way."

In other words, it has the makings of a hit, and Kaling is the star of the show. Here are five facts that you may not know about the 33-year-old actress, writer, and producer.

Mindy isn't her real name.
