2012 Fall TV Premiere Schedule
September is days away, and at this point, it's likely that you're starting to wonder when your favorite shows are returning, or when you'll see the new comedies and dramas make their primetime debut. We've begun to compile the schedule for the Fall 2012 TV premiere schedule.
Things start to get going around the midway point next month, with a lot of premieres rolling in during the last week of September. NBC has the jump on the other networks for the most part, with Grimm already airing new episodes, and new series Go On and The New Normal getting started September 11, along with Parenthood.
As is always the case, this schedule is a work in progress. Dates may change or be announced. If you don't see a show you're looking for, feel free to post a comment below and we'll look into tracking down the premiere date, if there is one. In the meantime, here's the list of new and returning series. (Times are all PM EST. New series are in all caps.)
