The networks have announced
their Fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? This Summer, as the networks release their pilots, I'll be posting
my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air — especially this year, when the
writers' strike severely gummed up the production of pilots — so consider these just some quick thoughts on how the shows look now.

BuzzSugar and I are down in LA for the
TCAs, starting with yesterday's Fox presentations! Highlights included seeing Joshua Jackson promote
Fringe, even if it was only via satellite, hearing Jerry O'Connell joke about his Tom Cruise impression, Brian Austin Green all hot and tan and — get this — hearing Jon Voight talk about Angelina Jolie and the new twins while promoting
24! Check out Buzz
for more in depth coverage of all the panels and details on the new and returning shows, and here are some more of my observations from Fox's presentations and party last night on Santa Monica Pier:
- Let's cut to the chase, here's what Jon Voight had to say about Angelina and those babies: "Well, the most exciting thing is to have new children -- the most beautiful thing in the world and the most exciting thing.
Fox revealed its Fall TV schedule at the 2008
upfronts this morning, announcing two new shows and the two-hour "telefilm"
24 prequel that will air in November before the regular (much delayed) new season of the show starts up again in January 2009.
The Fox show getting the most buzz this upfront season (and the basket in which Fox is placing all its eggs) is the J.J. Abrams drama
Fringe (featuring Joshua Jackson — yay, Pacey!) which will follow
House (in a new spot) on Tuesday nights.
I love when people I like team up to make some cool new project happen, and that seems to be the case with Fox's new comedy pilot The Inn. I was excited enough to see that Reno 911!'s Niecy Nash was
cast in the lead of the comedy. Sweetening matters further was its creator and writer,
Arrested Development alum — and possessor of one of the best names in Hollywood —Abraham Higginbotham.
