"Two And A Half Men" is the top sitcom on TV today and details the struggles of two brothers struggling to raise and maintain a great home for one of their sons. "Role Models" (in theaters November 7) finds the funny as well when a pair of hedonistic energy drink reps (Seann William Scott and Paul Rudd) are court-ordered to mentor two young kids.©CBS/Mitchell Haddad ©Universal/Sam Urdank - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

The new J. J. Abrams series "Fringe" is about a brilliant but not quite all there scientist who along with his highly intelligent but jaded son and a sharp female FBI agent seek out some of the weirder phenomena in the world, like telekinesis, regeneration and cloning. Speaking of things outside the realm of the ordinary, what would be stranger that having Keanu Reeves come out of a UFO? Well, that's what happens in "The Day the Earth Stood Still," (in theaters December 12) a remake of the 1951 sci-fi classic sure to send a chill up your spine.©FOX/Ben Mark Holzberg ©20th Century Fox - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

"Heroes" is the interweaving saga of a group of people who exhibit a bewildering range of freakish supernatural powers and how they interact with each other and the world. And there's definitely a comic-book vibe to the show, from its cliffhanger endings and special effects to the epic battles of good vs. evil. "The Spirit" (in theaters December 25) is actually from a comic, based on the series by Will Eisner, and the main character returns from the dead to fight evil in his hometown of Central City.Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

First up are two whimsical, beautifully constructed tales about life, death, and the strange mysteries of everything in between. "Pushing Daisies" tells the story of Ned, a piemaker who has the weird ability to bring dead things back to life by touching them. "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," (in theaters December 25) stars Brad Pitt and has an even stranger circumstance: he was born an old man and then proceeds to age backwards.Ron Tom/ABC ©Paramount Pictures - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

Sharpen up those fangs and hide the silver if you like vampires, because the Fall is full of them. "True Blood" is about mysterious synthetic-blood-swilling vampires who live amongst humans as a minority in the Deep South. "Twilight" (in theaters November 21) is a slightly different take on vampires, where the main focus is the forbidden love story between the two main characters -- human Bella Swan and vampire Edward Cullen. Both vamp-centric dramas will quench your thirst for vampire lore and all things undead.©HBO/Prashant Gupta ©Summit Entertainment - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

Geeks unite! Physics prodigies from Caltech know the equations and formulas but have a difficult time relating to their hot, female next-door neighbor in "The Big Bang Theory." And geeks of a different stripe populate "Fanboys," (in theaters November 26) in which a band of "Star Wars" fanatics break into Skywalker Ranch before the Phantom Menace opens to steal a print of the film.©CBS/Greg Gayne ©The Weinstein Company - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

If you like the buttoned down corporate world and quiet suburban desperation of Emmy-winner "Mad Men," then you should definitely check out "Revolutionary Road", (in theaters December 25) based on the famous book by Richard Yates. Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (in their first movie pairing since a little flick called "Titanic"), the film is a period piece as well and is an intimate look at the struggle the couple goes through raising two children and dealing with their relationship (Hmm sounds just like Don and Betty on "Mad Men.")©AMC/ ©Dreamworks/Francois Duhamel - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

"Eli Stone," is a saga about a young lawyer accepting the weird George Michael-infused hallucinations from his inoperable brain aneurysm and then finding out he's a modern day prophet and is meant for a bigger purpose. If you in fact do like spiritual things and a deeper search for meaning, "Yes Man," (in theaters December 19) a tale about a guy who opens up and accepts every question, proposal, and invitation for a year, could resonate as well. He does this to make his life more positive and interesting by saying yes to everything instead of no.Dean Freedman/ABC ©Warner Bros. Pictures - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM

In the new CBS comedy "Worst Week," a young couple that is about to have a baby have to break the news to the bride-to-be's parents and chaos reigns when Sam causes a series of pratfalls and disasters to happen with his clumsiness. And for even more slapstick, check out "Four Christmases", (in theaters November 26) which is about a young couple - Vince Vaughn and Reese Witherspoon -- having to celebrate, you guessed it four Christmases with their divorced parents - with plenty of antics we're sure!©CBS/Sonja Flemming ©New Line Cinema - Thursday, October, 23, 2008, 9:23 PM
