But as for TV shows, check out "Sleepy Hollow":</strong> Leave it to "Star Trek" movie writers/producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci to twist Washington Irving's classic tale of Ichabod Crane and the Headless Horseman into a modern story of apocalyptic doom. Tom Mison plays Crane, who literally crawls out of a grave to stop the Horseman, who's now terrorizing 21st-century Sleepy Hollow. He gets help from Nicole Beharie as a detective. Seems a lot to sustain over a season, but there appear to be other twists to come on "Sleepy Hollow." (September 16, Fox)

<strong>"Dads": </strong>This Seth MacFarlane sitcom -- live-action, not animated -- has already attracted controversy for the usual Seth MacFarlane things: politically incorrect humor and over-the-top stereotypes. They're the kinds of things forgiven on a surreal animated show, but maybe not when one of your lead actresses is dressed as a Japanese schoolgirl. If it's funny, though, no amount of criticism will dent it. Remember: "All in the Family's" Norman Lear is a MacFarlane mentor. (September 17, Fox)

<strong>"Brooklyn Nine-Nine":</strong> Some people love Andy Samberg's loosey-goosey absurdity. Others think he's sophomoric and unfunny. Either way, in "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," he gets to play off one of the great straight men: Andre Braugher, who raises the game of everyone he's with. (Remember "Homicide"? Of course you do.) At its best, this could be the second coming of "Barney Miller." If not, well, there's always cupcakes. (September 17, Fox)<br />

<strong>"The Blacklist":</strong> James Spader, in perfect snake-like mode, is getting most of the attention for this drama described by HitFix.com as " 'Alias' meets 'Silence of the Lambs.' " Spader plays agent-turned-criminal Raymond Reddington, whose expertise helps rookie agent Elizabeth Keen (Megan Boone) find the wanted fugitives on "the blacklist." He has ulterior motives, of course. The show has a lot of positive buzz, but whether that's sustainable in the long run is an open question. (September 23, NBC)

<strong>"Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D":</strong> In Marvel's ongoing plot to take over the entertainment world, they've made room for this new show featuring Clark Gregg reprising his role as "The Avengers' " Agent Coulson. He oversees a cast of misfits who fight crime the old-fashioned way -- in a procedural, the producers told HitFix's Alan Sepinwall. Comic-Con crowds loved the pilot, but The New York Times' Brooks Barnes was less impressed, wondering if the show will go over with "a broad, non-nerd audience." We shall see. (September 24, ABC)

<strong>"The Goldbergs":</strong> For people who know their old radio and TV, it's hard to hear the title "The Goldbergs" without thinking of Gertrude Berg yelling, "Yoo-hoo! Mrs. Bloom!" But this new series, from Adam Sandler's production company, is about a 1980s suburban family with the usual dysfunctional issues, including an overbearing mother (Wendi McLendon-Covey), a hot-tempered dad (Jeff Garlin) and a Lothario grandfather (George Segal). It's based on the life of creator Adam F. Goldberg, who saved home videos he shot of his family. (September 24, ABC)

<strong>"The Michael J. Fox Show": </strong>Esquire picked this as one of NBC's best new entries, one that manages to handle the star's Parkinson's disease without mocking it. Salon agreed, calling it "confident, knowing and occasionally funny." (That's a rave.) NBC is certainly high on it: they bought a whole season, sight unseen. (September 26, NBC)

<strong>"The Crazy Ones":</strong> A show starring Robin Williams called "The Crazy Ones"? Sounds promising, right -- none of the drippy Williams of "What Dreams May Come" here. But the show, with Williams as an ad agency owner and Sarah Michelle Gellar as his more strait-laced daughter and creative director, is earning only cautious optimism. Interesting trivia note: James Wolk, who played the wily Bob Benson on "Mad Men," has a supporting role here. Now if he can only share an elevator with Pete Campbell. (September 26, CBS)

<strong>"Betrayal": </strong>ABC, which has had so much success with "Scandal" and "Revenge," adopts a third steamy title, though it has nothing to do with the new production of the classic Harold Pinter play. The mainspring in this case is an affair between two married lovers and a murder case involving one family. Reviews are tepid: Popsugar called "Betrayal" "too soapy," and that's saying something. (September 29, ABC)

<strong>"Masters of Sex":</strong> Based on the 2009 book by Thomas Maier, Showtime's "Masters of Sex" concerns the famed sexologists William Masters and Virginia Johnson (played by Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan) and their complicated personal and academic lives, which resulted in a marriage, affairs and discontent. It's got a great cast, but will the material stretch? (September 29, Showtime)
