The 13 new TV shows we're most excited about

Of the 45 new TV offerings from the broadcast networks, we have chosen 13 series that most captured our attention.

Our decisions were made on admittedly few resources: available trailers, the talent attached, or even just a description.

But now more than ever, early buzz is necessary to cut through the cluttered TV landscape. Last year, the broadcast networks ordered 54 new series. Of those, only 19 shows survived.

"Minority Report" (Fox)

Why we're excited: Based on the blockbuster film by executive producer Steven Spielberg that starred Tom Cruise, this is the first TV show to be adapted from a Spielberg film. Plus, who didn't want to know what happened to the precogs after the program was shut down?

Stars: Stark Sands, Meagan Good, Wilmer Valderrama, Li Jun Li, Laura Regan

Expected premiere date: Mondays, fall 2015

"The Catch" (ABC)

Why we're excited: Shonda Rhimes clearly rules ABC right now, and we're not objecting. We've totally taken the Shondaland ride with "Grey's Anatomy,""Scandal," and "How to Get Away With Murder.""The Catch," about a woman who professionally catches con men but gets conned herself, sounds like a new extension of the twisty, turny roller-coaster ride. And we're on board.

Stars: Mireille Enos, Alimi Ballard, Jay Hayden, Jacky Ido, Rose Rollins, and Elvy Yost

Expected premiere: Thursdays, midseason 2015

Watch the trailer: 

"The Muppets" (ABC)

Why we're excited: Duh, the Muppets! Plus, this is set to parody documentary-style shows like "Modern Family" and "The Office." So we're in for a totally new take on famous characters.

Expected premiere: Tuesdays, fall 2015
