New Fall TV: If You Like Drama...

With fall TV just around the corner (I can't wait!), I figured I would dedicate a week to showcasing the best new shows coming to a couch near you! And boy is there a lot of them. So dust off your remote controller and fluff up that pillow, you might be sitting in your favorite armchair a lot come September.

So let's just get the biggest group out of the way. Drama seems to be most people's favorite since there are so many shows of this genre (ie. doctor, cop, lawyer, etc.), both on TV right now and coming soon.

Note: these posts will be divided into two sections "fall" (season starts September or October) and "midseason" (season starts in January).
