Grimm – Friday, 10/21 on NBC 9pm
A new sci-fi drama from NBC that has an intriguing concept, but I don’t give it much hope. Unfortunately they have it matched up with Fringe and Supernatural – in similar formats at the same timeslots. Not a good way to introduce a new show especially on a Friday. Grimm was originally slated to be a mid-season replacement last year and never made it out so the network obviously doesn’t have a high opinion of it already.
TV.com synopsis: This cop drama will incorporate stories from Grimm's Fairy Tales. A cop named Nick (played by David Giuntoli) starts seeing humans as animals and wants to protect society from them. Russell Hornsby is set to play Nick's partner and Tulloch his love interest.

Smash – Monday, 2/6/2012 on NBC 10pm
Not really a Fall 2011 premiere, but notable as a musical/family drama with Steven Spielberg’s backing. This is not Glee really, but Glee probably helped get this idea through the network. Looks interesting.
TV.com synopsis: NBC picked up this musical-centric series about the making of a Broadway play from Steven Spielberg. Craig Zadan and Neil Meron, Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman have signed onto write the original songs.
