While the broadcast networks have had their fall schedules lined up since May, cable networks have stuck to their summer programming during these warm months. Now, as autumn approaches, TNT, Syfy, USA and Lifetime have announced their schedules for the fall and winter months.

TNT is bringing back 'Leverage,' 'The Closer' and 'Rizzoli & Isles' in November and will premiere the fourth season of 'Southland' in 2012, while Syfy has saved plenty of paranormal-themed shows for the spooky month of October. The network's four-hour original movie 'Neverland' with Keira Knightley will debut Dec. 3.

USA will premiere the sixth season of 'Psych' in October, and bring back summer hits 'Covert Affairs' and 'Burn Notice' for six-episode runs in November. Lifetime, meanwhile, has announced several sure-to-be-classic TV movies for the month of October.

Although we have the entirety of the summer to get through -- it's just barely July, after all -- the major TV networks have already begun preparing for fall, including rolling out the 2011-2012 premiere dates for their new and returning shows.

The series premieres at the end of September. And if you're looking forward to the return of '90210' to The CW and the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar to TV in 'Ringer,' both will premiere in early September.


But what about the rest of the promising new shows? Below, a handy guide to the fall premiere dates for ABC, CBS, Fox and The CW.

Note: NBC has yet to announce its fall schedule -- when they do, we'll add it here -- but you can check out what the AOL TV team thought of all the network's new shows here.

CBS has announced the fall premiere dates for its new and returning shows.

Unlike ABC, which spread out the debut dates for its new shows throughout the months of September, CBS concentrated all of its premieres within the traditional middle-of-September time frame.

The newest season of 'Survivor' bows first, on Sept. 14, with new series 'How to Be a Gentleman' premiering last, on the 29th.
