With so many new shows premiering this fall, it's hard to figure out what to add to your TV viewing schedule and what to pass.
Here are just some of the new series and mini-series that are set to air beginning this month. Whether its drama, musical comedy, historical period pieces, or 80's crime busting, there are more than a couple of shows worth tuning into.
Fear The Walking Dead
Already ahead of the pack, Fear the Walking Dead premiered on AMC setting itself apart from its parent show, The Walking Dead. The new series begins a few weeks before the zombie apocalypse began so viewers get to see how the whole world turned upside down when the dead started coming back to life.
Blood and Oil
Set to premiere on ABC on Sept. 27, this new series will star Don Johnson as an oil tycoon looming over the lives and marriage of a young couple who want to get in on their own share of the oil fortune.
Quantico
Also scheduled to premiere on the 27th, the show will follow some young FBI recruits who tell their story through a series of flashbacks to reveal their very different reasons for singing up at Quantico. The mystery that runs behind the show however is the kicker – one of them happens to be responsible for one of the biggest terrorist attacks on U.S. soil since 9/11.
Flesh and Bone
The Starz network has been doing all it can to push the boundaries of TV and this new show is no exception. Flesh and Bone is an eight-part drama about the world of professional ballet, written and produced by Moira Walley-Beckett of Breaking Bad.
Into the Badlands
AMC's new Martial Arts drama is a six-part mini-series that is definitely no Karate Kid. The series will follow a young man, Sunny, played by Daniel Wu, as he embarks on a spiritual journey through the Badlands where he will test his warrior skills in a dangerous place where only the strongest and most brutal hold power.
Minority Report
Inspired by the Tom Cruise flick on the same name, Minority Report is a futuristic crime series set 15 years after the events of the movie. A pre-cog (a psychic who can predict homicides before they happen) must keep his abilities a secret while helping a detective stop the killings in his visions.
Life in Pieces

Crazy Ex-Girlfriend
The CW brings a new musical comedy series this fall about a young woman who gives up her lucrative job as a partner in a Manhattan law firm to move to California in order to win back her ex-boyfriend. And the title does more than just imply, she may be crazy.

In addition, a serial killer is on the loose killing one character in each episode.
The Muppets
The Muppets are back and they're already causing a ruckus!
