The new 2008 Fall TV season is almost upon us, with the first new show of the season premiering on September 1st. Screen Rant has put together an extensive list of new and returning programs along with their premiere dates, along with descriptions and recommendations.

So what’s up this fall? What are we anticipating, what are we, well… not anticipating?

With the new season of Ghost Whisperer, the show is going to explore the history of where Melinda lives, the town of Grandview and start to explain her character’s purpose there.

We’ll learn more about Grandview and why the ghosts seem to hunt down our heroine in every episode (and here I thought she had a ghost welcome mat out on her doorstep!).

These add to the developing powers of the dark side in season 3, but are also a frustrating perspective for this writer, since she can only talk ghosts out of doing things and seems relatively powerless to stop anyone from doing evil. That is, unless she gets some new edge to help stop the dark side.
