Get ready for 2009's hottest fall shows!
The new "Melrose Place" follows a group of 20-somethings living in the trendy Melrose neighborhood of Los Angeles, where a web of scandal is ever-present. The landlord, Sydney Andrews, is back from the (presumed) dead — and beautiful at age 40, Sydney is a central figure in the lives of her tenants, especially the handsome and rebellious David Breck (Shaun Sipos). Another tenant, the high-powered publicist Ella Simms (Katie Cassidy), once considered Sydney her mentor, but their friendship was destroyed by betrayal. Sydney also played a pivotal role in the career of Auggie Kirkpatrick (Colin Egglesfield) after meeting him at an AA meeting. And 18-year-old Violet Foster (Ashlee Simpson-Wentz), has just arrived in L.A. with her own secret connection to Sydney.
The Beautiful Life - Premieres Sept 16
The life of a high-fashion model may seem glamorous, but many models quickly learn that behind the façade is a world of insecurity and competition. Raina Collins (Sara Paxton), a stunning beauty with a secret past, and Chris Andrews (Benjamin Hollingsworth), a strikingly handsome Iowa farm boy, discover this for themselves in "The Beautiful Life." When Raina makes an unforgettable impression at a Zac Posen fashion show (Posen appears in a cameo), she steals the spotlight from fellow model Sonja (Mischa Barton). Sonja has been out of the country for mysterious reasons, and is now desperate to reclaim her standing as the reigning supermodel. In the meantime, Chris is barely holding onto his position at the bottom of the modeling food chain..
Cougar Town - Premieres Sept 23
Should a woman of a certain age still be on the prowl? Jules Cobb (Courteney Cox) is gonna give it a try. In this small Florida town (aka, "Cougar Town"), the Cougars are the high school mascot, which is appropriate considering it is the natural habitat for over-tanned, under-dressed divorcées prowling for younger men. Jules desperately doesn't want to be one of them, but with her recent divorce and 40th birthday behind her, she's longing for a little more action in her life. From the goofy geniuses behind "Scrubs," "Cougar Town" offers that rare treat of smart slapstick comedy.
Eastwick - Premieres Sept 23
Did the devil make them do it? Based on John Updike’s novel "The Witches of Eastwick," "Eastwick" is home to Roxanne the flaky artist, Kat the doormat wife and mom, and Joanna the uptight local reporter. A mysterious stranger's arrival in town brings these fast friends even closer and tests them in ways they'd never imagined; Daryl Van Horne is an irresistible package of wealth, charisma, and bad-boy sex appeal. If he's not buying up a local business, he's attempting to seduce one (or all) of these ladies, physically and professionally. What's even more dangerous is that he's unleashing their supernatural powers. Eastwick will be turned upside down as these witches come into their own.
Vampire Diaries - Premieres Sept 10
Four months after a tragic car accident that killed their parents, 17-year-old Elena Gilbert (Nina Dobrev) and her 15-year-old brother, Jeremy (Steven R. McQueen), are trying to cope with their grief and move on with their lives. Elena has always been a beautiful, popular, and involved star student, but now she struggles to hide her sadness. "Vampire Diaries" begins when the school year starts, as Elena — and everyone else — grows fascinated by a handsome, mysterious new student, Stefan Salvatore (Paul Wesley). Stefan and Elena are immediately drawn to one another, but what Elena doesn't know is that Stefan is a centuries-old vampire, struggling to live peacefully among humans. Meanwhile, his brother Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is the embodiment of vampire brutality.
Flash Forward - Premieres Sept 24
What if you got the chance to see your future and got a glimpse of where you will be and who you will be with? Would you look forward to what was coming or would you try to stop it? In "FlashForward," a mysterious global event causes everyone to black out simultaneously for two minutes and 17 seconds. When they wake up, everyone is left wondering if what they saw will actually happen. No one knows what these flash forwards mean, but it’s clear that people who've never met will soon be intimately connected. Some will fear what's coming, others will be excited. But not a single person will be unaffected.
Three Rivers - Premieres Oct 4
Yet another stab at the ubiquitous medical drama, this CBS entry takes heart-stopping action literally by following three perspectives of organ donation: the giver, the receiver, and the surgical middlemen. Expect lots of racing against the clock and tearjerker storylines. The name by the way refers to the show's setting in Pittsburgh, where three rivers converge (although the drama's transplant center is actually on a LA soundstage). A bit of trivia: The uber-modern hospital’s modeled after Scandinavian medical set-ups ... and we’re not talking Ikea. Starring Alex O'Laughlin and Daniel Henney (!!!)
Wonder which shows will make it and which ones will get cancelled?
