Armed with a new Toshiba Laptop (prettiest darn laptop I've ever seen), I am gearing up with the new television schedule for the Fall 2009 - Winter 2010 season. Obviously, with the economy still in the dumps, we lost a lot of good shows. At least, some were given some closure with an ending, others simply fell into the void of cancellation. I am still pissed over the dumping of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.

On the bright-side, we do have some impressive new entries in the scifi, fantasy and horror genres for television:

ABC has a jump-start with the new scifi series, Defying Gravity (which is, to my surprise, REALLY FRAKKIN' GOOD), will brew up witches of Eastwick, a mysterious mass event in Flash Forward, and a re-imagining of aliens visiting, or invading, our planet Earth with V.

CBS inherits NBC's Medium, while NBC gives us a new apocalyptic tale with Day One, and the currently running early Camelot tale, Merlin.
