"While the major TV networks' prime time lineups for next season look chock full of the standard sitcoms and cop dramas, there's also plenty to get geeks excited.

First of all, at least two new shows come with the name "J.J. Abrams" attached. Plus, another two boast plots revolving around fairy tales. And then there's an effects-laden sci-fi adventure set in a future where mankind has traveled back to the past to live among dinosaurs.


Add in the return of shows like Fringe and Chuckthanks, Twitter! — and 2011 is gearing up to be a pretty nerdy season of TV.


Until all the new shows hit the airwaves, here is Wired.com's guide to the most intriguing show announcements coming out of the annual TV upfronts held by the big broadcast networks in New York this week."






Wow, all of these actually sound somewhat interesting to me in one way or another.


Terra Nova (Fox)
Awake (NBC)
Once Upon A Time (ABC)
Grimm (NBC)
The River (ABC)
Alcatraz (Fox)
Person of Interest (CBS)

I was just mentioning the ones from the article itself...I'm certainly interested in Falling Skies as well :)


Please feel free to add other upcoming shows that look intriguing!

Plus, isn't Falling Skies just a mini-series? This looks like a list of full series shows.

Alcatraz looks great, don't know much about the others.

Alcatraz, The River, Grimm, & Terra Nova peak my interest the most.

I believe that is correct.

I was really hoping the new season of Walking Dead would be out by now. Anyone have any news on it?

Falling Skies is a complete tv series, not a mini series.
