TV Guide Description: Chuck Lorre’s fourth CBS sitcom stars Anna Faris as Christy, a recovering alcoholic and single mom who moves to Napa Valley, Calif., for a fresh start, but continues to clash with her mom Bonnie (Allison Janney). Sounds kind of like Lorre’s old shows Grace Under Fire and Cybill right? Let’s hope there aren’t any, um, off-screen issues here.
5. Trophy Wife – 9/24/2013 | 9:30PM | 1st Season | ABC
Trailer: http://youtu.be/ChWtLDLFSuo
TV Guide Description: Malin Akerman is Kate, a reformed party girl who marries Brad (Bradley Whitford) after meeting him at a karaoke bar. He comes with a lot of baggage though: three manipulative kids and two ex-wives (Marcia Gay Harden and Michaela Watkins) who, suffice it to say, don’t approve of Kate. Shocking!
6. Homeland – 9/29/2013 | 9:00PM | 3rd Season | Showtime
Trailer: http://youtu.be/iXOUIsu-E0Q
IMDb Description: When Marine Nicolas Brody is hailed as a hero after he returns home from eight years of captivity in Iraq, intelligence officer Carrie Mathison is the only one who suspects that he may have been “turned”.
7. Scandal – 10/3/2013 | 10:00PM | 3rd Season | ABC

TV Guide Description: It’s not Just Jack anymore. Sean Hayes returns to TV as a career-oriented divorced gay dad who is determined to become the world’s best father after his 14-year-old daughter Ellie (Sami Isler) moves in with him. Linda Lavin, Thomas Lennon, Echo Kellum, Vik Sahay and Hayes’ Smash co-star Megan Hilty also star.
9. Witches of East End – 10/6/2013 | 10:00PM | 1st Season | Lifetime
Promo: http://youtu.be/0ua7WgcdiXE
TV Guide Description: Something wiccan this way comes to Lifetime. Loosely based on the novel of the same name, this wicked drama stars Julia Ormond as Joanna Beauchamp, a witch who’s doomed to relive the deaths of her daughters Freya (Jenna Dewan-Tatum) and Ingrid (Rachel Boston) eternally. Joanna’s sister (Madchen Amick) thinks it’s time the girls discover their secret — that they are also witches. How will Freya’s fiance Dash (Eric Winter) react? Charmed yet?
10. Reign – 10/17/2013 | 9:00PM | 1st Season | CW
Trailer: http://youtu.be/m9Kke5FNxnQ
TV Guide Description: Who needs to take AP European History when you’ve got The CW to school you? Adelaide Kane plays Mary, Queen of Scots, who is preparing to marry Prince Francis of France (Toby Regbo) in hopes of creating a strategic alliance for Scotland. Spoiler alert! They married in real life, but the historical drama will take some poetic license, adding complications in the form of his controlling mother Queen Catherine de’ Medici (Megan Follows) and the seer Nostradamus (Rossif Sutherland), who contends that the marriage will cost the prince his life. And what’s a CW series without a love triangle? Torrance Coombs plays the completely fictional Bash, Francis’ bastard half-brother.
