Top 3 New Fall TV Shows

Summer may have just started, but it's never too early to start gearing up for fall. I'm off course taking about the new fall TV season. As many shows wrap up their seasons, the networks are revealing what their schedules will look like in the fall. Here are my top three picks for what to check out this fall.

3. Person of Interest (Thursdays 8 p.m. CBS)
The only drama on this list with a plot that may seem a little uninventive, but the people involved have certainly sparked my interest. Coming from J.J. Abrams this new show stars  Michael Emerson (Ben Linus from Lost) and Jim Caviezal (Jesus Christ from Passion of the Christ) as a software billionaire, and a retired CIA agent. The two team up to help those in need and bring down the bad guys. I know it sounds a little trite, and maybe even like its stealing a little bit from shows like Leverage, and Human Target, but here's why I'm excited. Lost has been off the air for about a year now, and if there's one thing i miss more than the story telling, it's the number of fantastic actors that show had. In addition Jim Caviezal has been struggling to say the least after Passion of the Christ. I've been a fan of Caviezal's ever since he played the lead in The Count of Monte Cristo (an underrated film, and an underrated performance).  it will be nice to have these two actors working together every week under the guidance of J.J. Abrams who needs a win in the spy genre after this year's failure Undercovers (bet you don't even remember that one right?).

2. Free Agents (Wednesdays 7:30 p.m. NBC)
With The Office fading fast after Steve Carrell's departure, NBC needs a new sitcom adapted from Britain to fill the potential void. Enter Free Agents starring Hank Azaria, a comedy about people who work for a talent agency (or something). Think of it as Entourage if the show was focused solely on Ari and his agency. Hank Azaria seems to be playing some type of sad-sack who is having a mid-life crisis (think Matthew Perry from the recently cancelled Mr. Sunshine). While this doesn't sound like an instant hit, the jokes seem pretty solid, and the cast seems to have a good chemistry.

1. New Girl (Tuesdays 8 p.m. FOX)
I saved the best for last. Zooey Deschanel takes a break from the big screen for some reason I can't fathom to bring her quirky self into the realm of half-hour comedy. She plays a girl who finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her and subsequently moves into an apartment with three other guys. While this good quickly delve into lame jokes about how guys don't understand women, this show seems to have a special charm to it that makes the concept seem fresh. Also, props to whoever decided to avoid implying that any of her new male roommates will be her potential suitors. Check out the preview below and tell me I'm wrong.

So there you go three shows to check out this fall. Agree? Disagree? Something I missed you think I should have mentioned? Hit the comments and let me know.*
