We are only a couple of weeks into classes, yet those carefree summer days seem to be a distant memory. Our agendas are filled with essays and readings, rather than beach-going and barbeques. As we pack up our shorts and t-shirts and exchange them for sweaters, the crisp fall air brings with it a crop of new television series that gives us an hour of vacation to bring us back to that care-free feeling of summer and sanity. Here are the new series this fall worth tuning in to week after week.
Chicago Fire (NBC)
Premieres: October 10th at 10/9c
Things are about to get hot at Chicago Firehouse 51! Dick Wolf, of Law & Order fame, brings to NBC a new fiery drama that follows the lives of firefighters in the Windy City that put their lives on the line. Starring Jesse Spencer, Taylor Kinney, and David Eisenburg, Chicago Fire is bound to be one of the hottest shows this fall.
Nashville (ABC)
