Terra Nova


Premieres: Monday, 9/26 at 8pm ET on Fox

Cast: Jason O'Mara, Shelley Conn, Landon Liboiron, Allison Miller, Naomi Scott, Alana Mansour

What Is It About? In the future, our planet is dying, so a handful of people get sent back in time to an era with dinosaurs to live like "Land of the Lost." Somehow this is supposed to save the world? We're not sure.

How Many Episodes Should You Watch? We've got high hopes for this Steven Spielberg series.

Glee


Returns: Tuesday, 9/20 at 8pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: Certainly not any Trouty Mouth/Mercedes action as Chord Overstreet has been unceremoniously ousted. But we will get to see Kurt, Finn, and Rachel's final year of high school, for whatever that's worth. And the winner of "The Glee Project" will get a multiepisode arc that hopefully isn't too painful.

Will We Watch It? Yes. We're gluttons for punishment.

X Factor


Premieres: Thursday, 9/22 at 8pm ET on Fox

Cast: Simon Cowell, L.A. Reid, Cheryl Cole, Paula Abdul

What Is It About? Unless you've been living under a rock, you've heard about Simon Cowell's new singing competition, in which someone can win a $5 million recording contract, with the judges acting like mentors.

How Many Episodes Should You Watch? Like "Idol," you'll probably want to watch to keep up with what the world is talking about.

Cast: Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone

What Is It About? Zooey Deschanel's character Jess finds her boyfriend cheating on her and ends up finding some guy roommates who teach her how to win over a new guy, despite her unique quirks.

How Many Episodes Should You Watch? All of them ... depending on your tolerance for Zooey Deschanel and her singing. We were quite charmed by her, ourselves.

Fringe


Returns: Friday, 9/23 at 9pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: To find out maybe what happened with Peter since he's been wiped out of existence, and to find out how the other characters lives are changed without him around.

Will We Watch It? Yes! We wish we had our own alternate selves so we could watch it twice.

Kitchen Nightmares


Returns: Friday, 9/23 at 8pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: Gordon Ramsay fixing up revolting restaurants.

Will We Watch It? Nah. We've seen the superior British version of the show, and with "Hell's Kitchen" and "Masterchef" all summer, we could use a Ramsay hiatus.

Cleveland Show


Returns: Sunday, 9/25 at 8:30pm. ET on Fox

What to Expect: Honestly? We've got no idea. If you watch this show, you probably know what you are getting from Seth MacFarlane, Mike Henry, and company.

Will We Watch It? Clearly not.

Family Guy


Returns: Sunday, 9/25 at 9pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: Ricky Gervais: talking Dolphin. Yes, really.

Will We Watch It? Yeah. Even though it's not as consistently funny as it used to be, the occasional laughs are worth it.

American Dad


Returns: Sunday, 9/25 at 9:30pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: More family and awkward CIA humor.

House


Returns: Monday, 10/3 at 9pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: No Cuddy, and House dealing with the repercussions of driving his car into her house.

Will We Watch It? We don't want to, but curiosity may make us watch an episode or two, or 22.

Allen Gregory


Premieres: Sunday, 10/30 at 8:30pm ET on Fox

Cast: Jonah Hill, French Stewart, Nat Faxon, Joy Osmanski

What Is It About? This new animated series sounds like it will fit right in with the other Fox cartoons. Allen Gregory is a precocious 7-year-old who has to go to "real" school after being homeschooled by his worldly father.

How Many Episodes Should You Watch? A couple, we suppose. Looks terrible, but it has some very funny people involved.

Bones


Returns: Thursday, 11/3 at 9pm ET on Fox

What to Expect: Brennan is pregnant with Booth's baby, and they will be living together? Yeah, this should be ... interesting.

Will We Watch It? Maybe. There's a part of us that is curious whether this storyline will kill the show or make us want to actually watch it again. We're guessing the former, but we'll see.

I Hate My Teenage Daughter


Premieres: Wednesday, 11/30 at 9:30pm ET on Fox

Cast: Jaime Pressly, Katie Finneran, Kristi Lauren, Aisha Dee, Eric Sheffer Stevens, Kevin Rahm, Chad Coleman

What Is It About? Jaime Pressly and Katie Finneran play best friends who raise their children to be obnoxious and popular and just rotten ... and then the two moms just sit around and complain about it.

How Many Episodes Should You Watch? None. We're hoping this one gets canceled quickly so both stars can move on to better things.
