Note that the Title’s of each shows listed below are hyperlinked so if you click on them, you’ll be taken to a video preview of the series. This should help you decide which shows (if any) you decide to record & watch. Or you could just do like me and record any that seem interesting and wait to see which ones get good ratings and which ones are canceled. Nice to have a DVR these days.
