Every day of the week and twice on Sundays

The end of summer means many things. It means that it is time to return to school, that summer love affairs have come to an end, that the leaves will be changing soon, and that a plethora of new shows will appear on primetime TV.
Most of them won't make it to a second season, some won't even make it all the way through the first, but there are a lucky few that will find their audiences and succeed. Check out these fall premieres and see if they flop or float.

Mondays
Accidentally On Purpose
Premiering September 21 at 8:30 p.m., and starring sitcom vet Jenna Elfman (best known for her role as Dharma on Dharma and Greg), Accidentally on Purpose looks like CBS took Knocked Up and transformed it for the small screen. A thirty-something movie critic has a one-night stand with a much younger guy and gets pregnant. The storyline has potential to grow, but it is unlikely that this one will stick around.

Tuesdays
NCIS: Los Angeles
Starring Chris O'Donnell and LL Cool J, this is another CBS spin-off, which seems to be their specialty these days. Viewers can catch this at 9 p.m. starting September 22. As much as The Spectrum loves Cool James and George Clooney's Robin, this show looks bad. But if all of the CSIs have managed to stick around, this show will most likely be able to follow their cue and get viewers from the original NCIS.

Wednesday
Cougar Town
The name may put people off a little bit, but the sexual exploits of 40-year-old women combined with halfway decent acting has seemed to be a recipe for success, at least for two seasons. (Yeah, that's you, Lipstick Jungle.) Courtney Cox will first appear as the leading character of this ABC series starting September 23 at 9:30 p.m.

Thursday
Community
The Soup's Joel McHale, The Daily Show's John Oliver, and Chevy Chase all come together for this NBC comedy, so it's either going to be hilarious or horrid. The story line sounds funny enough: an attorney lies about graduating from college and must return as an adult learner. But honestly, where else can it go? In its defense, who would have ever believed that a story about a paper company in Scranton, Pa. could ever become so popular? See it for yourself at 9:30 p.m. on September 17.

Friday
Brothers
This is Michael Strahan in a sitcom. Start taking bets on when it gets cut. The first episode is September 25 at 8 p.m. Will it even survive a whole episode?

Saturday
The Wanda Sykes Show
Premiering November 7 at 11 p.m. on Fox, the show will feature Sykes's comedic stylings and will be cut once producers realize that this show was attempted and failed before.

Sunday
Bored to Death
HBO is introducing a new comedy that tells the story of Jason Schwartzman living as a struggling writer by day and a private investigator by night, even though he does not know the first thing about being a detective. Ted Danson, along with The Hangover's Zach Galifianakis, join Schwartzman to make this an all-star cast. Tune in for the series premier September 20 at 9:30 p.m.

The Cleveland Show
Peter Griffin's neighbor and good friend Cleveland Brown is leaving Quahog and heading south come 8:30 p.m. on September 27. Cleveland has a new wife, step kids, and a new time slot, but it seems like creator/writer Seth Macfarlane is still going to deliver the goods.

Wild Card
Steven Seagal: Lawman
The only reality series to make this list follows fallen karate movie star Steven Seagal through his current career as a police officer in Louisiana. Cops meets Under Siege: television gold. This mumbling masterpiece hits airwaves in December.
