When the calendar flipped to September that meant the countdown was on for our favorite TV shows to come back into our lives. Starting September 21st we kick off Premiere Week with The Big Bang Theory on CBS at 8; this will the time slot for Big Bang until CBS is done covering Thursday night football then Big Bang will return to its normal time slot. Tuesday nights have a couple new shows with Limitless on CBS, Quantico on Fox, Heartbreaker on ABC, and Scream Queens on Fox.

Friday's viewers can take another swim in the tank with SharkTank on ABC, a race around the world on CBS with The Amazing Race, and see whats happening on Dateline. Sunday will feature its resident power women with The Good Wife and Madam Secretary on CBS. New to the Sunday night line up is Blood and Oil; if you were a fan of Dallas (the old or new version) this is a show you should check out starting Gossip Girl star Chase Crawford.

A few notes: Chicago PD will not start on Wednesday September 23rd because Law and Order: SVU is a 2 hour episode; so Chicago PD will start September 30th.
