This fall, there will be more than 33 new shows on television.
From family sitcoms like "Moms" and "Dads," to buddy-cop crime shows like "Almost Human" and "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," how do you decide where to pledge your viewership?
We've read the reviews of upcoming network and cable pilots and compiled a list of the 13 best new series.
So as you anticipate the long-awaited return to "Homeland" and introduction to the mother on "How I Met Your Mother," consider freeing up some space on your DVR for this promising crop.
13. "Enlisted" (Fox)
Premieres: Friday, November 8 at 9:30 p.m.
What it's about: A decorated Army sergeant returns from Afghanistan and is based at a Florida unit where his goofball younger brothers are stationed.
Why you should watch: Created by "Cougar Town's" Kevin Biegel, "Enlisted" offers the same mindless humor, peppered with heartwarming moments of brotherly love.
12. "The Crazy Ones" (CBS)
Premieres: Thursday, September 26 at 9 p.m. ET
What it's about: Father-daughter ad execs (Robin Williams and Sarah Michelle Gellar) take on the industry — and will sink to any level for success (i.e. the pilot features the pair performing a rap for Kelly Clarkson, playing herself).
Why you should watch: William's return to television and Gellar's endless supply of charm are enough to warrant a view.
11. "Mom" (CBS)
Premieres: Monday, September 23 at 9:30 p.m. ET
What it's about: A newly sober young mother (Anna Faris) tries to pull her life together while repairing her relationship with her equally messed-up mom (Allison Janey).
Why you should watch:Pilot reviews weren't entirely positive, but a talented cast makes this edgy sitcom — packed with addiction and parental neglect jokes — worth a shot.
From the creators of "Big Bang Theory" and "Two and a Half Men," it should perform better than Fox's ridiculed "Dads" at the very least.
