Fox is using Sunday's Emmy awards to dive headfirst into the Fall TV season. Technically, I suppose things kicked off with Friday's premiere of "Nashville," but tonight the heat is really on with the start of the season's first new scripted drama and the return of a fan favorite.
"Prison Break" kicks things off at 8 p.m., and I know a lot of Buzz readers are ready for it.

I'm very curious about the new Fox show "K-Ville," which focuses on police officers in post-Katrina New Orleans. I didn't completely adore the pilot, but there was enough good about it — especially lead actor Anthony Anderson — that I'm eager to check out other episodes once the show premieres next month.
The first episode will air Sept.

The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. Note that a lot can change before a show actually makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.

Thanks to Fox, we now have sneak previews of that network's new fall shows, to add to the clips we've already seen from ABC, NBC, CBS and the CW. I'm eager to hear what you think of these clips, so get watching!
"New Amsterdam" (pictured above)
I still think this story of an immortal detective is the strangest of Fox's shows.

Now that I've had a while to think through the new Fox fall schedule, I have some thoughts on which news is good, which is bad and which is still a little baffling. Take a spin through my list, then let me know what you think. (Don't forget to look at my thoughts on the ABC, NBC and CBS schedules, too!)
- "The Rules for Starting Over," starring Rashida Jones, got picked up for midseason — so do you think Karen's going to corporate tonight?
- At first glance, Fox's schedule looked like such a confusing jumble that I wasn't sure I understood what they were doing — but on second thought, I think parts of it could be brilliant.

Fox closed out Upfronts today by announcing 10 new shows, including the New Orleans cop tale "K-Ville" (pictured above), the band-focused "American Idol" spinoff, and the immortal detective story "New Amsterdam." Six of the new series will premiere in the fall, before the network shuffles its schedule in the spring to make room for four more new shows plus "American Idol" and "24."
Among returning shows, here's a sampling of the big news:
- "House" is one of the few shows staying put in its time slot all season.

It's TV pilot season, when hopeful writers, directors, and actors give the networks glimpses of what could be their next big hits. Few pilots will ever make it to air, and the odds might be especially long over on ABC, which has already renewed many of its current shows. Over the past few weeks, I've been looking at the pilots and trying to spot the trends that could be coming soon to a TV near you.
