This fall is jam-packed with returning favorites and new options. In order to help viewers make up their minds, we're naming the shows we're most looking forward to.
We've watched all the premiere episodes made available to press or we've seen the trailers. There were some shows that we had dismissed in theory, but then they ended up pleasantly surprising us.
So, what's worth your precious couch time?
Here are the 25 best TV shows this fall, ranked:
25. "The Mayor" (ABC), premieres October 3 at 9:30 p.m. ET
The premise of a rapper-turned-city mayor wasn't instantly exciting to us, but it really comes down to the execution. Lead actor Brandon Michael Hall has charisma to spare and the show appears to have a lot of heart. Plus, "Community" star Yvette Nicole Brown is always a welcome sight.
24. "The Voice" (NBC), returns September 25 at 8 p.m. ET
Once you get over that "The Voice" is really about the interaction between the coaches and how they fight over talent rather than actually making music superstars, it's the best singing competition on TV.
23. "The Gifted" (Fox), premieres October 2 at 9 p.m. ET
A new addition to Marvel's TV offerings, "The Gifted" centers on parents, played by "True Blood" star Stephen Moyer and "Angel" alum Amy Acker, who realize that their children have strange powers. With an anti-mutant government, the family seeks haven with an underground group of mutants. We're willing to give this Marvel show a chance, though they can be hit or miss.
