It’s fall TV time — only the best time of the year! Okay, that’s debatable, but it’s all very exciting. Here’s your guide to all of the new shows that will be debuting this fall, and what we think you need to watch and what you just need to skip over.

NBC

State of Affairs

Premieres Monday, November 17 at 10 p.m.

 

We know Katherine Heigel is gonna f-ck this one up. We just know it.

Rating: 

Marry Me

Premieres Tuesday, October 14 at 9 p.m.

This looks kinda funny. And Casey Wilson is pretty much funny in everything she does.

Rating: 

Mysteries of Laura

Premieres Wednesday, September 24 at 8 p.m.

It doesn’t look horrible, and it might be worth a few episodes, but the storyline of ‘moms who do it all’ is a bit trite.

Rating:

Bad Judge

Premieres Thursday, October 2 at 9 p.m.

 

Has the potential to be funny, but the whole white lady “saving” a black kid is tired too. We’ll have to see how this one turns out.

Rating: 

A to Z

Premieres Thursday, October 2 at 9:30 p.m.

 

Okay, THIS looks funny! And the whole being awkward thing is in, so we’re sure there will be some good scripts in their arsenal.

Rating: 

Constantine

Premieres Friday, October 24 at 10 p.m.

 

“Constantine” looks very “American Horror Story” meets “The Mentalist” and that might be a winning combo.

Rating:  

CBS

Madam Secretary

Premieres Sunday, September 21 at 8:30 p.m.

Yawn.

Rating: 

Scorpion

Premieres Monday, September 22 at 9 p.m.

 

If you like “The Blacklist,” then “Scorpion” might be for you, just geekier. And with cars — fast cars.

Rating:

NCIS: New Orleans

Premieres Tuesday, September 23 at 9 p.m.

 

Well… If you like all of the other NCIS shows, then we guess.

Rating: 

Stalker

Premieres Wednesday, October 1 at 10 p.m.

 

If you watched the now canceled “Hostages,” then this will seem similar. How long can these movie-like shows last?

Rating:  

McCarthys

Premieres Thursday, September 23 at 9:30 p.m.

 

We’re still doing shows with laugh tracks?

Rating: 

Fox

Mulaney

Premieres Sunday, October 5 at 9:30

 

The best part of this show looks like it will be comedian Seaton Smith. The rest looks blah.

Rating: 

Gotham

Premieres Monday, September 22 at 8 p.m.

 

Jada Pinkett-Smith back on network TV? Yes, please! But seriously, watching Bruce Wayne grow up is an excellent premise, and it already looks well-executed.

Rating: 

Utopia

Premieres Tuesday, September 7 at 8 p.m.

 

Let us get this straight, these people are forming their own “society” to see if they can be “more productive member of society” for a TV show, but probably don’t in real life, and we’re supposed to watch and see how this is played out? PASS.

Rating: 

Red Band Society

Premieres Wednesday, September 17 at 9 p.m.

 

Sorry, Octavia.

Rating:

Gracepoint

Premieres Thursday, October 2 at 9 p.m.

 

Missing kids? No thanks. We saw “The Leftovers.”

Rating: 

ABC

Forever

Premieres Monday, September 22 at 10 p.m.

The idea that someone die every day to help solve crimes is extremely interesting.

Rating: 

Selfie

Premieres Tuesday, September 30 at 8 p.m.

 

As dumb as the title sounds, it looks really funny! We’ll be watching.

Rating: 

Manhattan Love Story

Premieres Tuesday, September 30 at 9 p.m.

 

A romantic comedy TV show might not be the best idea week after week.

Rating: 

Black-Ish

Premieres Wednesday, September 24 at 9:30 p.m.

 

We hate the name, but we understand the premise. And the combination of Anthony Anderson, Tracee Ellis Ross, and Laurence Fishburne looks surprisingly refreshing.

Rating: 

How to Get Away with Murder

Premieres Thursday, September 25 at 10 p.m.

 

Might be Shonda’s greatest creation.

Rating: 

Cristela

Premieres Friday, October 10 at 8:30 p.m.

 

No bueno.
