Haven returns Friday on Syfy.
CBS blew the finale of Unforgettable earlier this week, so no change there. This informs my decision on anything new they may offer.
If everything were available on Hulu, Netflix, or even some combination of them, I'd get the fastest internet and dump the extra cable packages, get both of those, and STILL save money. There are a few holdouts yet, though.

That's what I did two years ago (roughly). No more cable, I don't watch it. I don't need it. I need the internet. that's it. I don't need a bundle, unless it's humble and indie. Hulu and Netflix, plus WiiMC, and emulstors on the TV via the Wii. That's some sweet entertainment... If I miss shows, I'll catch them some other time, or just not care. I'd rather watch every episode of Star Trek and Red Dwarf and whatever else I find...
Though, I just got a cell, 4G LTE, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus, and now there's that bill. Bought it on eBay, so it's no contract at least... They wouldn't let me use it on the prepaid smartphone plan though, because it's a 4G device... But there's tv on there too... including live football... that's cool...

I'm going to check out the new Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. so I hope that's good. I'm a superhero fan and enjoyed Arrow last after 1 season. Let's see what they bring to the table this season.

I only named Haven as being the first thing I've spotted (haven't looked for new stuff Thursday).
They're dragging out Supernatural for yet another season. I don't mean "drawing" it out. I mean, bury it already.

I've heard there will be a shortage of "super" on the show, but it gets a shot.
There are 2 new sf/fantasy offerings on Fox. One is an obvious failure, the other will be cancelled prematurely. Even though they're using Bones to lure viewers.

I hope I'm wrong about this but all the previews I've seen for Haven have been old ones. It looks like they are just going to re-show it as new. I though maybe because Kings name is on it and Under the Dome did pretty well on network over the summer...
Also, wasn't Supernatural already on BBCA a couple years back? Or am I thinking of a different show? Not the dinosaur one.

Pessimist: Oh, this can't get any worse!
Optimist: Yes, it can!

Different show entirely. From the BBC might be (no, not Torchwood, that's "the dinosaur one")... Being Human? Three supernatural beings living together.
That one was at least partly on BBCA. They changed the cast, killed most everyone, and it went away. The US version, which deviated quite a bit after the first season (notably an entirely different werewolf pregnancy mythos) was back for a bit a couple months ago.
There's a US Torchwood now, too, if it resurfaces.
There was also, hmm, Bedlam? Orphan Black. Hex. Oh, In the Flesh! That was a bunch of ghost-killing shenanigans.
Hmm, it's on the site, but I don't recall ever actually seeing Sherlock.
Supernatural is 9 seasons of Sam & Dean Winchester breaking up, dying, escaping hell, getting back together, and repeating. Is it 9 now? Maybe this is season 9 just coming up.

Eh? Miracle Day was a one-off as far as I've heard. Although they are broadcasting it for the first time on BBC America soon, I think. It played on Starz in the US, originally.

Haven't seen MD yet. Oh, wait, Torchwood is that one, not the one I was thinking of.

Dinosaur one = Primeval (and the US spinoff) perhaps?

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. US = Primeval: New World.
