Each television season has at least one new buzz-worthy drama and I believe Flash Forward will satisfy viewers with different tastes on many levels.
Based on the sci-fi novel by Robert J. Sawyer, this series follows the repercussions of a cataclysmic event that knocks out the entire population of the world for two minutes and 17 seconds at the same time, allowing everyone to see several months into their own futures. The main focus will be on a group of characters determined to figure out how and why this unprecedented event took place and how they might be able to change their unsettling futures.

The spin-off of the hugely successful series from the '90s is easily one of the most-anticipated series of the fall. While fans of the original series are anxious to see what became of their favorite characters, I think younger viewers will find this new cast of fresh faces a welcome change from anything else on television.
A whole new group of beautiful 20-something men and women movies into the scandalous apartment complex from the '90s. Although she "died" immediately following her wedding, Sydney Andrews is alive and back to her blackmailing ways. As the landlady of the complex, Sydney will be at the center of all the drama as relationships form, lies are exposed and major secrets unfold.

'Eastwick' (ABC)

Back in 2004, ABC struck gold with shows such as Lost and Desperate Housewives and it looks as though they may have a couple more hits on their hands this fall in the sci-fi department. Those who loved the film The Witches of Eastwick will absolutely love the latest incarnation of author John Updike's imagination.
Roxie, Joanna and Kat are regular (and very different) women trapped in the throws of everyday life until a mysterious (and very handsome) man arrives in their small New England town. Suddenly, these three women find they now possess very unique powers and soon their quiet town is turned upside down -- but will it be a good or bad thing?
