Highly Anticipated New TV Programs
FOX gave viewers a preview of their musical comedy Glee in May 2009, which created a great deal of buzz for the show. The official premiere date is September 9, 2009 at 9pm. The new Jenna Elfman comedy series, Accidentally on Purpose, is sandwiched between How I Met Your Mother and Two and a Half Men, for a humorous Monday on CBS. The Sci-fi drama Flash Forward is a look at the aftermath and consequences following a world blackout of two minutes and 17 seconds.
