Held to midseason: Parks and Recreation, plus new comedies Friends With Benefits, The Paul Reiser Show, Perfect Couples, as well as new dramas The Cape and Harry's Law.
The Event is an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker (Parenthood's Jason Ritter), an Everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancιe, Leila (Sarah Roemer), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history. Sean's quest will send ripples through the lives of an eclectic band of strangers, including: newly elected U.S. President Martinez (Blair Underwood); Sophia (Laura Innes), who is the leader of a mysterious group of detainees; and Sean's shadowy father-in-law (Gilmore Girls' Scott Patterson). Their futures are on a collision course in a global conspiracy that could ultimately change the fate of mankind. Ian Anthony Dale (Daybreak) and Emmy winner eljko Ivanek (Damages) also star in the ensemble drama.
Outsourced is a comedy where the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash. The series centers on the all-American company Mid America Novelties that sells whoopee cushions, foam fingers and wallets made of bacon and whose call center has suddenly been outsourced to India. Todd Dempsy (Ben Rappaport) is the new company's manager who learns that he's being transferred to India to run the operation. Overwhelmed, Todd discovers that his new staff needs a crash course in all things American if they are to understand the U.S. product line and ramp up sales from halfway around the world. But as strange as America seems to his eclectic sales team, Todd soon realizes that figuring out India will be more than a full-time job. Rizwan Manji (Privileged), Sacha Dhawan (BBC's Five Days II), Rebecca Hazlewood (BBC's Doctors), Parvesh Cheena (Help Me Help You), and Anisha Nagarajan (Broadway's Bombay Dreams) also star as members of Dempsy's off-shore team.
Love Bites is an hour-long romantic comedy anthology series featuring three loosely connected, modern stories of love, sex, marriage and dating. Each episode contains multiple vignettes, all illuminating the theme of love with an edgy, irreverent spin. Becki Newton (Ugly Betty) stars as Annie and Jordana Spiro (My Boys) stars as Frannie, the last two single girls standing after all of their friends get married. Annie is an infectiously bubbly optimist and Frannie is an always-a-bridesmaid realist. Their story will anchor the series, while other romantically-challenged characters will come and go each week. The pilot's guest cast includes Jennifer Love Hewitt, Greg Grunberg, Craig Robinson, Jason Lewis, and Lindsay Price.
The Cape: David Lyons plays Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead. He is forced into hiding, leaving behind his wife, Dana (Jennifer Ferrin, "Life on Mars") and son, Trip (Ryan Wynott, "Flash Forward"). Fueled by a desire to reunite with his family and to battle the criminal forces that have overtaken Palm City, Faraday becomes "The Cape" his son's favorite comic book superhero and takes the law into his own hands. James Frain ("The Tudors") plays billionaire Peter Fleming - The Cape's nemesis - who moonlights as the twisted killer named Chess. Keith David (Gargoyles) plays Max Malini, the ringleader of a circus gang of bank robbers who mentors Vince Faraday and trains him to be The Cape; Summer Glau ("Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles") plays Orwell, an investigative blogger who wages war on crime and corruption in Palm City; and Dorian Missick ("Six Degrees") is Marty Voyt, a former police detective and friend to Faraday.
Undercovers (by Abrahms!) stars Boris Kodjoe (Soul Food) and Gugu Mbatha-Raw (Tish Jones, sister of Martha on Doctor Who):
Outwardly, Steven Bloom (Kodjoe) and his wife, Samantha (Mbatha-Raw), are a typical married couple who own a small catering company in Los Angeles and are helped by Samantha's easily frazzled younger sister, Lizzy (Jessica Parker Kennedy). Secretly, the duo were two of the CIA's best spies until they fell in love on the job five years ago and retired. When fellow spy and friend Nash (Carter MacIntyre) goes missing while on the trail of a Russian arms dealer, the Blooms are reinstated by boss Carlton Shaw (Gerald McRaney) to locate and rescue Nash. The pair is thrust back into the world of espionage as they follow leads that span the globe and Steven and Samantha realize that this supercharged, undercover lifestyle provides the excitement and romance that their marriage has been missing.
Outlaw: Starring Emmy Award winner Jimmy Smits (NYPD Blue), Outlaw is a new drama from executive producer John Eisendrath (Alias). Cyrus Garza (Smits) is a Supreme Court justice who abruptly quits the high-level position. A playboy and a gambler, Garza had always adhered to a strict interpretation of the law until he realized the system he believed in was flawed. Now that he's quit the bench and returned to private practice, he's determined to represent "the little guy" and use his inside knowledge of the justice system to take on today's biggest legal cases and he's making plenty of powerful people unhappy along the way. Jesse Bradford (West Wing), Carly Pope (24), Ellen Woglom (Californication) and David Ramsey (Dexter) also star.
Harry's Law: A series about fate and the people it brings together, starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates. Harriet (Bates), Matthew (Ben Chaplin, Me and Orson Welles) and Malcolm (Aml Ameen, Kidulthood) couldn't be any more different. Harriet is a curmudgeonly ex-patent lawyer who, having just been fired from her cushy job, is completely disillusioned with her success and looking for a fresh start. Her world unexpectedly collides with Malcolm's a young man trying to figure out life. When he finds out Harriet is a lawyer, he begs her to represent him in an upcoming criminal case. Matthew, a dreamer at heart and also recently fired from his job as a high school teacher, is introduced to Harriet through Malcolm, a previous student of his. When these three cross paths, they realize they're all looking for a fresh start. Now, the most unlikely of people are starting a law practice in the most unlikely of places a rundown shoe store. Harry's Law also stars Brittany Snow (Hairspray) as Harriet's assistant, Jenna Backstrom and Beatrice Rosen (Dark Knight) as Eve, a high school French teacher.
Friends With Benefits is a half-hour comedy revolving around a group of twentysomething singles as they navigate the difficult, and often confusing, world of dating. Ben Weymouth (Ryan Hansen, Party Down) is on the hunt for the perfect woman who meets his unique set of standards, while his best friend, Sara Maxwell (Danneel Harris, One Tree Hill), is just looking for a man to settle down with and raise a family. Ben and Sara have fallen into the habit of turning to each other for moral and physical support as they wait for Mr. and Ms. Right to arrive. Their friend Aaron (Fran Kranz, Dollhouse), a romantic at heart, doesn't approve of Ben and Sara's complicated friendship, but he, along with womanizer Hoon (Ian Reed Kesler) and straight shooter Riley (Jessica Lucas, Cloverfield), are all distracted with their own dating trials and tribulations.

Raising Hope: A comedy from Greg Garcia (My Name Is Earl) about a good-hearted screw-up (The Beast's Lucas Neff) who tries to raise his infant daughter with help from his unusual family. Other stars include Martha Plimpton (How To Make It In America), Garret Dillahunt (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) and Cloris Leachman.
Running Wilde: A romantic comedy from Arrested Development's Jim Vallely, Mitch Hurwitz and Will Arnett that stars Arnett as an immature playboy the network describes as "trying desperately to win (or buy)" the heart of his childhood sweetheart, a liberal humanitarian played by Keri Russell.
Lonestar: A drama set in the Texas oil industry and premiering this fall stars newcomer James Wolk as a man caught between two lives and two women. It's created by Chris Keyser and Amy Lippman (Party of Five).
Terra Nova: A Steven Spielberg produced action-adventure series follows a family back to prehistoric Earth as they try to save humanity. The series has yet to be scheduled.
Ride-Along: A new cop drama from creator Shawn Ryan (The Shield) about Chicago's most notorious cops. Stars include Jason Clarke (Public Enemies), Jennifer Beals (Lie to Me) and Delroy Lindo (Kidnapped).
Mixed Signals: An ensemble comedy debuting in the spring and created by Bob Fisher (Wedding Crashers) about three longtime friends trying to balance relationships and freedom.

Bob's Burgers: An animated series joining Sunday's animated block from creator Loren Bouchard (Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist) about a family with a struggling burger joint.
Couldn't they just call Lonestar what it really is? Dallas 2.0 
My main issue with Terra Nova tho is that ok yeah it's Speilburg but Brannon Braga is also involved. :/ But time travel always sound fun! Even if the plot is taken from the Star Trek ep All Our Yesterdays.
Terra Nova, which begins in 2149 A.D. The scene: a large group of settlers are preparing to leave the apocalyptic world they live in to time travel back millions of years via a massive, high-tech contraption. Their goal is to see trees, enjoy a blue sky, eat real food basically, to start over in this so-called Eden. But what they find is unlike anything they were expecting.

This ensemble drama follows a group of friends 10 years after they filmed a documentary during their high school years in Texas. The show stars Michael Stahl David, Kelli Garner, Jaime King, Keir O'Donnell, Sebastian Sozzi, Mehcad Brooks, Anne Son, Daniella Alonso and Julian Morris.
No Ordinary Family, starring Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz:
The Powells are pretty much your average, everyday American family. That is until their plane crashes in the Amazon jungle. After that, well, let's just say the Powells are a little less ordinary. Jim is a frustrated police sketch artist married to Stephanie, a brilliant and successful scientist. Although they still love each other, their marriage has lost some of its spark. All of that changes, though, when Stephanie takes Jim and their two teenage kids along on a research trip to the Amazon. The Powell's plane crashes into a swampy river; they manage to escape, but, their pilot, unfortunately, isn't so lucky. As the Powells gratefully return to their old lives, they are shocked to discover that they have suddenly developed some rather extraordinary abilities. Jim is super strong with amazing reflexes. Stephanie can suddenly move at lightning speed. Daphne can hear everyone's thoughts including those of her 16-year-old-boyfriend, ick! Then there's JJ, who miraculously goes from clueless to brainiac, seemingly overnight. The Powells are reinvigorated by their new powers, but they quickly discover that the toughest challenges may be the most ordinary ones. Sure, they can stop criminals, but all the super powers in the world can't fix emotional problems. The Powells better get their act together, soon, though, because that pilot they left for dead at the bottom of a river... he just woke up. From Brother & Sisters' Greg Berlanti and Jon Feldman comes a wild new dramedy about a totally relatable family who just happen to be a little bit amazing.
Secret Millionaire: An hour-long reality series that follows some of America's wealthiest people for one week as they leave behind their lavish lifestyles, sprawling mansions and luxury jets, conceal their true identities, and go to live and volunteer in some of the most impoverished and dangerous communities in America.
The Whole Truth: Starring Rob Morrow (Numb3rs) and Joely Richardson (Nip/Tuck), this legal drama chronicles the way a case is built from the perspective of both the defense and prosecution. Richardson plays Kathryn Peale, the deputy bureau chief in the New York State District Attorney's office, and Morrow plays Jimmy Brogan, Kathryn's longtime friend and a criminal attorney.

BLUE BLOODS, from writer-producers Mitchell Burgess & Robin Green ("Northern Exposure," "The Sopranos") is an hourlong following several generations of New York cops. It stars "Bunker Hill" vets Bridget Moynahan ("Six Degrees," "I, Robot") and Donnie Wahlberg ("Boomtown," the "Saw" movies) as well as Tom Selleck ("Las Vegas"), Flex Alexander ("One On One," "Snakes on A Plane"), Len Cariou ("Brotherhood," "Damages"), Will Estes ("American Dreams," "Reunion") and the piping-hot Dylan Moore.
Tom Selleck...nuff said
THE DEFENDERS, from writer-producers Kevin Kennedy & Niels Mueller ("The Assassination of Richard Nixon"), is an hourlong about Las Vegas defense attorneys. It stars Jerry O'Connell ("Carpoolers," "Do Not Disturb"), Jim Belushi ("According to Jim"), Gillian Vigman ("Mad TV," "Sons & Daughters"), Jurnee Smollett ("Eve's Bayou," "Friday Night Lights"), Tanya Fischer ("Life On Mars") and Teddy Sears ("Raising the Bar," "A Single Man").
Jerry O'Connell is usually a good indication that this show will be quickly cancelled
HAWAII FIVE-0, overseen by writer-producers Peter Lenkov ("CSI: NY") and Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman (co-creators of "Fringe" and writers of last year's "Star Trek" movie), is a remake of the CBS original following a fictional Hawaiian police agency. Alex O'Loughlin ("Moonlight," "Three Rivers") plays agency boss Steve McGarrett, Taryn Manning ("8 Mile," "Sons of Anarchy") plays McGarrett's kid sister Mary Ann, Scott Caan (the "Ocean's" movies) plays Danno Williams, Daniel Dae Kim ("Lost") plays Chin-Ho Kelly, James Marsters ("Caprica") plays villainous Victor Hesse (who may be the series' new Wo Fat) and the mountainous Kono Kalakaua has been reimagined as a skinny female detective, Kona Kalakaua, played by Grace Park ("Battlestar Galactica").
I wasn't interested in the Hawaii 5-0 remake untill now... James Marsters...mmmm
MIKE & MOLLY, from writers Chuck Lorre and Mark Roberts ("Two And A Half Men"), is a sitcom about a couple of Overeaters Anonymous members. It stars Melissa McCarthy ("Gilmore Girls"), Billy Gardell ("Yes, Dear," "My Name Is Earl"), Katy Mixon ("Eastbound and Down"), Swoosie Kurtz ("Pushing Daisies"), Reno Wilson ("The Chronicle," "Blind Justice") and Tucker Albrizzi ("Big Time Rush").

It stars William Shatner ("Star Trek," "Boston Legal"), Stephanie Lemelin ("Cavemen"), and "Mad TV" vets Will Sasso and Nicole Sullivan.
Denny Crane!
Coming later in the season:
CRIMINAL MINDS SPIN-OFF, from Chris Mundy ("Line of Fire," "Cold Case") and Edward Allen Bernero ("Brooklyn South," "Third Watch"), looks at a different team of FBI behavioral analysis unit operatives.

Oh, goody. I don't have to give up Big Bang Theory to watch Supernatural. The latter will probably suck, but I'm quite attached to it.

ha indeed, but ratings as far as im aware is defined by people watching it on their Tv sets when the program is on.
So if 2 programs are on at the same time you can only effectivly watch one, and thus provides ratings for that given show.
as im not aware of ratings being consisting of other mediums as well, however It could be different in the us as this is how it stands in the uk currentl.y.
