The last few years have been huge for television and 2016 is no exception. Fall is the biggest time for TV shows because most shows premier their newest season in September and October. They then take a short break over winter and are back in full swing by spring, kind of like college semesters.
If you’re a big TV watcher like me you might be feeling a little overwhelmed about all the options of shows and where/ when you can find them. I’ve put together a (LONG) list of some of the most popular shows on television and when they’ll be premiering along when what channel you can find them on. A lot of channels move around the time slots for shows so they may not be on the same schedule as last year. There are also shows like CBS’s “Supergirl” that have moved to a whole other channel (The CW in this case).
If you can’t find your favorite show on this list, there’s a chance I didn’t know about it or maybe it doesn’t have a fall season. For example, the shows on Freeform typically have Spring and Summer Seasons. That means there wont be any Pretty Little Liars on this list.
So, check out some of the shows listed below and you might even find a new favorite to go along with your old faves!

Gilmore Girls: A Year In The Life (Netflix) This is a continuation and reunion season, it’s the 8th season in the Gilmore Girls serious and will consist of four 90-minute episodes. The 7th season last aired in 2007.
Most of these shows are also on Netflix and the last season will either already be updated to Netflix or will be uploaded on the streaming website on the date of the newest season’s premiere. Most shows are also available through Hulu the day after they aired if you don’t have cable.
My recommendations include Once Upon A Time, Criminal Minds, and pretty much any and every show on The CW.
