Fall TV Premieres 2014 USA: NCIS 12, Big Bang Theory Season 8
The summer bliss is already behind us, but instead of mourning to the end of last season's shows (such as AMC's Breaking Bad), you can now celebrate the return of highly anticipated shows.
TV Networks such as NBC, ABC, CBS, The CW and Fox have released their schedules for 2014-2015. It can be tricky to sort through the shows that have been added, removed or cancelled, but it is worth taking a look.
This season, old shows are going to return and ongoing shows will resume. However, television is fickle so you need to keep tuning in as these dates could change.
