Fall TV kicked off a little early this year, with NBC showing early premieres of new shows Go On and Animal Practice, and launching the second season of Grimm mid-August. But when do the other shows come back? Keep reading!
As per TV Breakroom’s focus, this list only includes live-action, scripted shows. (For those who simply must have their competition TV: The Voice comes back 9/10; The X Factor, 9/13; Survivor, 9/19; DWTS, 9/24; and The Amazing Race, 9/30.) We’re also listing by day of the week, so you can get a better idea of which shows you can watch live and when you’ll need to start using your DVR or watching some shows online later. This is mostly for broadcast shows, but a few cable ones will be listed as well. All times listed are Eastern, and new shows are in bold.

What an awesome guide! I will definitely be referencing this; it’s so hard for me to remember when shows start up again because I watch so many. I work nights at my job at Dish, so I never get to watch anything live anymore. Fortunately, I have a Hopper, and with the Prime Time Anytime feature, I don’t have to worry about missing any of them. It records every prime time show on all four major networks every single night. It’s nice to know I don’t have to worry about getting my DVR timers mixed up. So excited for fall TV to be back!
I too am glad for all this cool info. It will save me a lot of time looking for every thing. Thanks.
