Fall Line Up

Issue date: 10/5/06 Section: Entertainment
It's that time again ?- time for the fall line up. Every year, network primetime tries to lore in viewers with new favorites, oldies, plot twists and must see previews. This season is no different. With special sneak previews at each network's corresponding Web site, contests and spoilers popping up in blogs all over the internet, the television experience has come full circle.
The merge between UPN and the WB11, forming the new CW channel, has left nothing to be desired. Old favorites from both networks have returned, as well as new promising shows.
These include "America's Next Top Model" where the girls grow more exotic with each new season and "One Tree Hill," in which each episode leaves you wondering, what more can happen in such a small town?
On Tuesdays, we have the return of the teenage and female Dick Tracey, "Veronica Mars" and more girly fun with the "Gilmore Girls." And after it's much publicized final season, we have the pleasure of "7th Heaven" returning.
The newer instant classics include a show called "Runaway," which is about a man uprooting his family to evade the police. Why are the police chasing after him you ask? You have to watch to find out. We can't forget Clark Kent and the return of "Smallville" and the eerie "Supernatural."
On other networks we have cult classics such as "Grey's Anatomy" on ABC, which features love- hate relationships between doctors and patients. Also on this channel is the hit series, "LOST" where we see more of "the monster" this season.
New series on NBC seem promising, with the premiere of the show "Heroes" which is about ordinary people waking up one morning and not being so ordinary anymore.
It's like a blend between "X-men" and "Spiderman," with a hint of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer."
With the entire buzz about new shows, some prefer old favorites and cancelled shows. "I'd rather sit in my dorm and watch reruns on B.E.T. I love the old 'Steve Harvey Show,' 'The Jaime Foxx Show' and 'The Fresh Prince of Bel Air' being shown," said Debi Destina, freshman.
Others prefer more "youthful" viewing provided by the folks of Adult Swim on Cartoon Network. "I really want to see the Boondocks, if I could only watch one show all day long it would be that," said Becky Enarhebba, freshman.
If you asked for this writer's opinion, the must sees for this fall are simple; they would include "America's Next Top Model," "Grey's Anatomy," "Heroes," "LOST," "One Tree Hill" and last but not least, "Veronica Mars."
Give new shows a chance they might surprise you. Keep an open mind, but do not forget to keep up with your favorites.
