I am – Hercules!!
More than 150 series debut or return between now and Halloween, so I hope you’re rested up. I read that American viewers averaged four hours of TV a day over the summer. Looking at the list, that doesn’t seem like nearly enough!
And the list doesn’t cover everything. Cartoon Network’s “The Venture Bros.” and AMC’s “The Prisoner” remake, for examples, are both due this fall, though neither has been assigned a more specific debut date yet.
Remember that “Chuck” joins “Lost,” “24” and “American Idol” among the series that don’t come around till midseason.
