FALL 2013: COMING TO TV TONIGHT (9/26)! COMEDIES AND DRAMAS AFOOT!

Tonight is the night for the return of big dramas and great comedies!

New and Returning Premieres

Parks and Recreation kicks off its sixth season with an hour-long premiere that sees most of the gang heading to London when Leslie wins an award. Meanwhile, Chris and Ann begin their swan song journey to exiting the show. 8 pm on NBC.

America's favorite nerdy bunch returns for a seventh season. Tonight's double helping of The Big Bang Theory delves further into the Sheldon and Penny dynamic while Leonard is away. Oh and let us say, secrets will be revealed. Later, Leonard returns and his relationship with Sheldon will be put to a test. Good or bad thing? You'll have to tune in. 8 pm on CBS.

Glee returns for its fifth season tonight with the first part of a two-part Beatles tribute episode. Beatles fans will either love it or hate it but rumor has it that Rachel's rendition of "Yesterday" will be the one everyone talks about at the water cooler on Friday. The first two episodes of the musical drama will lead up to the Cory Monteith tribute episode. 9 pm on FOX.

The two-hour 10th season premiere of Grey's Anatomy picks up with the aftermath of the superstorm. Fresh off giving birth to lil' Bailey, Meredith has to make a difficult choice. Girlie just can't catch a break on this show. Callie and Arizona have big issues to resolve, and viewers will finally learn what fate has in store for Richard. 9 pm on ABC.

Robin Williams' heralded return to the world of sitcoms occurs tonight with the premiere of The Crazy Ones. Co-starring Buffy's Sarah Michelle Gellar, the comedy focuses on a dynamic father-daughter advertising team (i.e. they're polar opposites...can you imagine the comedy?). The one thing this pilot episode has going for it is that Davide E. Kelley wrote it. It'll be interesting to see Williams back on television, and moderated...hopefully, and Gellar in a comedic format. 9 pm on CBS.

The Michael J. Fox Show premieres tonight and we have to say that this is our pick of the night. Whether it's seeing Michael J. Fox back on television or just loving the premise of the half-hour sitcom, we have been looking forward to this show. Read here why we already love this new show. Fox plays a news anchor who returns to work after several years away dealing with Parkinson's disease. Plus we get two episodes tonight, what more could we ask for? 9 pm on NBC.

Change is afoot when Two and a Half Men returns for its 11th season. Angus T. Jones is out and Amber Tamblyn is in as the new "half" of the show. Tamblyn makes her debut as Jenny, Charlie's long-lost lesbian daughter who is definitely a chip off the old, dead block. Cue the laugh track. 9:30 pm on CBS.

The modern-day re-imaging of Sherlock Holmes and Watson returns for its sophmore season. Elementary starts the night with Holmes and Watson traveling to London to help solve a puzzling case. The trip also fuels a family reunion of sorts as Holmes reunites with his estranged brother, Mycroft. 10 pm on CBS.

Home is where the heart is, and everything if anything is about family. The fifth season of Parenthood begins with the household shake-up brought on by a certain recent newborn. Also, an old flame returns to Sarah's life and literally takes her by surprise. 10 pm on NBC.

Also on TV Tonight

Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. repeats its premiere episode on ABC, meanwhile The X Factor continues its auditions. The CW repeats its season ending episodes in preparation for their fall premieres. 

NEW RELEASE TUESDAY! FULL OF NERDS, COPS, AND ONE CRANKY THELMA HARPER!

It's New Release Tuesday and this week has an interesting mix of classic and current shows that you'll definitely want to pick up!

Comedy Pick-of-the-Week

The Big Bang Theory - The Sixth Season

The sixth season of the nerdy comedy continues following the adventures of Sheldon, Leonard, and Howard, as they progress further in their respective relationships with Amy, Penny, and Bernadette. Raj, on the other hand, is still searching for his soul mate. Still at its peak, The Big Bang Theory continuously brings the laughs and gags to Pasadena's favorite doctors (not the medical kind of course, duh!).

Drama Pick-of-the-Week

Homeland - The Second Season

The second helping of Showtime's successful drama returns bigger and better as life becomes complicated again for the U.S. Congressman Brody and former CIA agent-turned Civilian Carrie. The two find their lives intertwined again and must return to that world of deceit and desire, ultimately leading to an explosive ending. If you haven't latched on to this show then here's your chance to catch up because it is definitely on the Must-Watch list.

Sleeper Pick-of-the Week

Luther - The Third Season

The recently discovered, underrated British psychological crime drama sees its third series (season) released on DVD. DCI John Luther continues hunting killers in the 4-episode season while also dealing with an internal case being built against him, which leads to a surprising climax towards the end.

Retro Pick-of-the-Week

Mama's Family - The First Season and The Second Season

Thelma Harper and her crew from Raytown, USA are back on DVD, and done right this time! Back in 2006, Warner Home Video released the first and second seasons on DVD and received mixed reviews primarily for its use of syndicated, edited cuts. Flashforward 7 years, StarVista/Time-Life have obtained the ownership rights to release the original broadcast masters, which include the episode introductions by Alistair Quince (portrayed by Harvey Korman). The first and second seasons of the show aired on NBC before it was cancelled and revived in syndication. The NBC years featured Rue McClanahan and Betty White, before they exited for The Golden Girls, as well as Carol Burnett in her signature role as Eunice. Classic '80s show fans have been clamoring for the unedited release of Mama's Family and can even order the complete series set exclusively through the StarVista/Time-Life Website. Grab a beer and slice up a piece of marble cake when watching this release.

Kid (or Kid-at-Heart) Pick-of-the-Week

The Wild Thornberrys - The Fourth and Fifth Seasons

The late '90s/early 2000s Nickelodeon toon about a nomadic family of documentary filmmakers reaches its end with these final two seasons. While the toon primarily centered around Eliza, it frequently told the stories of the Thornberrys discovering and interacting with different species of wildlife. The fourth and fifth season DVD sets are available exclusively through Shout! Factory's Shout! Select Library.

Blue Bloods - The Third Season
