Last week I posted a complete list of all the Fall 2007 TV shows including the returning and new TV series. For those of you deciding whether to record any of the new shows to your DVR here's a little more information on each of the brand new TV series: Don't forget that the NBC Pilot Episodes will be available on Amazon Unbox starting September 10th .

My family will probably not watch any of these shows except for a possible reality show until later in the season. Instead, we'll record several of the ones that interest us and watch them near the end of the season. That way we avoid starting a series that will be canceled or gets really bad reviews. Thankfully we have a HTPC with five tuners and a lot of hard drive storage.
