Before beginning this post on premiere dates for the upcoming 2007-08 fall television season I want to mention a few shows that you won't be seeing on the list. They are: Arrested Development, Charmed, Joey, Everwood, Gilmore Girls, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, Reba, 7th Heaven, Kidnapped, Vanished, and Standoff. Why, pray tell, am I not including these programs on the list? Because they've all been CANCELED!!! Face it, Everwood is not coming back in any way, shape or form. Let's get past that and move on!

What you will be seeing are the premiere dates for Heroes, Reaper, Bionic Woman, America's Next Top Model, Bones, and Survivor. At posting time the dates for ABC's season premieres had not been given out; therefore, they will not appear on the list. Of course, we could just make up the premiere dates for Samantha Who?, Pushing Daisies and According to Jim, but that wouldn't be very professional of us, would it? That's okay, because ABC's season doesn't really start until Lost begins airing anyway.

Mind you, these are fall premieres. Shows like Jericho, 24, American Idol, Medium and Law & Order take their bows later in the season. So, with a grand flourish and a 21-gun-salute, we present to you your new 2007-08 fall television season!

UPDATE: Just as this post was going out ABC released the premiere dates for the new fall season. Thusly, they have been added. Except for Boston Legal. I have now idea when that show is going to premiere.

UPDATE 2: Information for Boston Legal has been added, as well as date changes for Bones, Anchorwoman, Kitchen Nightmares and Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

UPDATE 3: Updates for SciFi Channel premiere dates have been added.
