I just saw three trailers for new shows on Fox and they were all just dumbed down cheap knockoffs (I call them Foxoffs) of other shows. Bones is a CSI rip for people who can’t follow the multiable storylines of CSI. Reunion is a 24 rip but with pretty young people with an I.Q. of 25 that wear stylish jackets in 80 degree Californa heat which Fox knows we all want to watch, sort of 24 meets the O.C. While there is some other show (I forgot the name already, but they solve the most “deviant” crimes in LA) that is a rip of The Inside! They cancel their own show them make a Foxoff of it!
There are a few Sci-Fi shows on the other networks (Invasion and something else) but I’m not sure which one to watch but one has Data from Star Trek in it so I might watch that. But the one I surely be watching is ‘E-Ring’, Aircraft Carriers, Submarines, and Commandos-sweet! …I just hope it doesn’t suck.

In a word...
No.
TV hasn't interested me since at LEAST the OJ circus, and was boring me half to death even before that... I took a chance on Firefly, as it appeared to be something worth my time, and f*x crapped all over it.
So the Zenith Dynacolor (yes, I know it's a relic) is back in the closet where it belongs collecting dust.

I'd like to check out Bones just to see how David does. Otherwise, I have no intrest in the show.
I really don't like TV. I know everyone says that. If I do watch soemthing I have to do it alone. The main reason is I HATE explaining things to people, and if my husband, whom I love dearly, is watching anything with me he asks stupid questions. (i.e. is that the bad guy? So who's this kid's dad again? Who shot J.R.?) The main problem with these sort of questins is usually he's been watching the entire time, and he knows just as much as I do. Usually the questions he asks are the whole point of an episode, and noone is supposed to know the answer yet.
What is worse is when he come in at the very end of an episode and makes me explain how we got up to this point. Not such a big deal if I'm only a few minutes in, but more often than not, the show's almost over, and he expects me to rehash the entire story for him.
Wow . . .that got way off topic. Yeah, so I'm thinking I might want to check out Bones to get my David fix.

The answer is "no". There aren't any new shows I'm "looking forward to". First of all I have limited definition of "shows" in the context of questions like this. And that is that "shows" to me mean the programming from one of the six broadcasts networks in prime time that is either an hour-long or a sitcom.
I realize this limits cable, reality shows, and late night programming. It's not that these aren't "shows" it's just that prime-time, non "reality" programming is what I think of when a question like this is posed. It also probably has a lot to do with age.
There are a handful of new shows I will check out but if it weren't for the fact that three or more of them involve Buffy/Angel alumni I wouldn't bother. The other ones have a concept that intrigues me enough that I'll check them out at least once. But it's not like I can't wait for them to come on.
By contrast, when I found out Joss Whedon had a new show coming on called FIREFLY, I was really looking forward to that!
What a long answer just to say "no".

I'm only looking forward to new seasons of shows I was already watching. The only "new" show that has me curious enough to bother with watching an ep. is "supernatural" on WB. After what FOX did to The Inside, I'll not be bothering with anything else they offer. 'Less I suffer a severe brain injury. Most ads I've seen look like rehasing of old ideas, and I'm sick of the networks doing the "we heard the other guys are doing a show about water, quick do a show about a water." Bored.

I've got my eye on this series too. From the look of this season's selection, it seems this one has a lot of potential. The concept is intriguing and it would be interesting to see where the writers would take it.

I'm probably not a typical Browncoat in this regard but I'm looking forward to the MLB playoff chase, the NFL season, hockey coming back, college basketball starting up in November...
You get the picture. As for actual new TV shows (or old ones for that matter), No.

ARE there any new shows. Plural. Are.
Sorry. The bad grammer was making me twitchy. I couldn't take it anymore.
And my answer is no. But then again, I don't watch much TV, so I don't really know what's out there.

well I can't say that I'm looking forward to any shows...
I'll tune in to see David Boreanez (Angel) in Bones
and altho I expect to hate it, I'll watch James Marsters (Spike) as Brainiac on Smallville
and I don't want to miss Alyson Hannigan (Willow) in How I Met Your Mother
or Nicholas Brendon (Xander) in Kitchen Confidential
(these last two will probably get cancelled right away, so I need to catch them before they are gone)
Christian Kane (Lindsay) is supposed to be in some cool cowboy thing...
and isn't Seth Green (Oz) in a new show? Something besides his work on Robot Chicken and The Family Guy, I mean.
No, I'm not really looking forward to any of them, but I'll be watching them for ole lang syne
