2012 Fall TV Premiere Schedule: Find Out When Your Favorite Shows Return

As things like premiere dates and time slots seem to become less and less relevant every year, thanks to DVRs and online streaming, we know that even the staunchest TV time-shifter still wants to know when his or her favorite show will return to the tube. That’s partly why we’ve provided this handy 2012 fall premiere schedule, which offers a quick rundown of the fall’s season and series premiere dates.

We know you’re a savvy bunch. Most of you rarely, if ever, watch TV live anymore, but it can’t hurt to know when the new seasons of great shows like ‘Parks and Recreation,’ ‘Fringe,’ and ‘Homeland’ will premiere -- you gotta know when to set those DVRs. We also highlight the series premieres of new shows, like Shaun Ryan’s ‘Last Resort’ on ABC, Fox’s ‘The Mindy Project,’ and ‘Arrow,’ The CW’s latest superhero drama.
