Nothing says autumn like golden leaves, the smell of freshly sharpened pencils, and a slew of brand spanking new television shows. And since time is precious, I want to know what new shows you guys think are worth watching and which ones are not.

The Rachel Zoe Project

I don’t think this show will suffice as an adequate replacement once Project Runway leaves Bravo for Lifetime. But what it does offer is a glimpse into Rachel Zoe’s rather uninteresting life as a celebrity stylist, if you find that sort of thing interesting. It’s a little funny to watch Rachel get in trouble with her husband for spending God knows how much on designer duds, but otherwise I can’t really imagine myself racing home to catch this show. And is it me or does she CONSTANTLY have a cup of Starbucks in her hand? Either the coffee company is sponsoring the show or Rachel is a robot that runs on caffeine.

Fringe

I can’t really say I’ve tuned into a J.J. Abrams show since Felicity was on the air (I kind of missed the boat with Lost) but Fringe seems like it could be promising. The season premiere was pretty well-balanced— it had its fair share of government conspiracies, large explosions, sexual tension, crackpot doctors, high-speed car chases, and Issac Asimov-esque science fiction. Only time will tell whether Abrams can keep things interesting enough to hold audiences captive.

90210

It seems a little early to bring 90210 back. It seems like only yesterday Donna was whining about how she was saving herself for marriage. But then again, 80s fashion has already been reinterpreted on the runway, so I guess it only makes sense that a 90s soap opera would return to TV around the same time. After watching the season premiere it doesn’t seem like the students of West Beverly are going to be the saviors of the struggling CW network (that onus probably belongs to Gossip Girl), but 90210 seems to offer better teenage angst than Smallville or One Tree Hill (isn’t time those shows were put to rest?)

Pushing Daisies

It took me a bit to catch on to this one, but this show is awesome. The main character has the power to bring the dead back to life by touching them. The only problem? If he touches them again (EVER!) they die again for good. Also, if he keeps them alive for more than 1 minute, someone else in close proximity dies. Ohh the complications!
