Fall TV: The Complete 2011 Premiere Schedule

This season, the premieres are spread out over the entire month of September and even in to October and November. I feel like the networks learned from the mistakes of last year, where all the shows seemed to premiere within a two week window. With such a short window, it set up a lot of the shows for failure. Viewers had to make their television choices early and if they picked wrong, they had already missed an episode or two of the other new shows and didn't both to catch up.

Check out the full Fall TV premiere schedule after the break, as well as the few new shows I plan on checking out.
