Shows that I feel obligated to watch at least once because of reasons but don't have much hope for:

Betrayal ABC 10-11 PM EST Sunday
It has the little sister of a friend I met back in the day and I really hope it's more than just the usual soap opera.
*Back in the day = more than fifteen years ago
We Are Men CBS 8:30-9 PM EST Monday
It looks stupid but has Tony Shalhoub and Kal Penn.
Hostages CBS 10-11 PM EST Monday
I will watch anything with Toni Collette at least once but it sounds like 24 or Homeland or something else I don't watch.
Dads Fox 8-8:30 PM EST Tuesday
I hated Family Guy when it first came out. It grew on me but still, this looks stupid despite Seth Green.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine Fox 8:30-9 PM EST Tuesday
It's Andy Samberg as a cop and his precinct captain happens to be homosexual which is refreshing, but still looks stupid.
Ravenswood ABC Family 9-10 PM EST Tuesday
Apparently, it's a spin-off of Pretty Little Liars which I don't watch but it looks like it has a supernatural mystery and I love those.
The Tomorrow People CW 9-10 PM EST Wednesday
I never watched the original and these things can be so hit or miss especially with me. I'm very picky about my groups of people with special abilities.
Super Fun Night ABC 9:30-10 PM EST Wednesday
This is executive-produced by Conan O'Brien but Rebel Wilson is even more uneven with projects than Seth McFarlane.
Ironside NBC 10-11 PM EST Wednesday
The main character is wheelchair-bound which is great but could just be another boring crime procedural.
American Horror Story FX 10-11 PM Wednesday
This season sounds like so much potential between witches and having part of it in 1830s New Orleans. Let's see if I drop it after one episode like the last two seasons.
Sean Saves the World NBC 9-9:30 EST Thursdays
It's Sean Hayes, could be funny, could be stupid.
The Crazy Ones CBS 9-9:30 PM EST Thursday
I still feel obligated to watch or try to watch anything that Sarah Michelle Gellar does. I did love that in the interview when Robin Williams admitted he had never seen Buffy the Vampire Slayer, she said, "You'd like the prom episode...It's very emotional."
Reign CW 9-10 PM EST Thursday
I mean it's a costume drama on a broadcast network which is nice but I usually don't stick with them, like I dropped The White Queen and The Tudors.
Full Circle DirectTv/Audience Channel 9-10 PM EST Wednesday
It has Julian McMahon and David Boreanaz and people...
The Michael J. Fox Show NBC 9-9:30 PM EST Thursday
I put it here mainly because comedies have tended to suck for the past few years. There are only a few that I feel I HAVE to see each week.
Two and a Half Men 9:30-10 PM EST Thursday
Long ago, my mom actually watched this. Then, she dropped it. I never got into it, even with adding Ashton Kutcher but now...they're adding Amber Tamblyn...

Shows that I watch if my other shows at that time are reruns and I remember about it:

Mom CBS 9:30-10 PM EST Monday
It looks stupid but has Anna Faris and Alison Janney.
The Blacklist NBC 10-11 PM EST Monday
It sounds meh unless I found Parminder Nagra is a regular cast member.
Almost Human Fox 8-9 PM EST Monday
It has Karl Urban but also Dystopian ideas and robots...
The Originals CW 8-9 PM EST Tuesday?
I know I watched The Vampire Diaries at least once.
Grey's Anatomy ABC 9-10 PM EST Thursday
I like to say I'm done with it but then, I get sucked back in again.
Masterchef Junior 8-9 PM EST Friday
Gordon yells at 8 year olds!

Shows that I will watch when I get a free HBO/Showtime weekend:

Boardwalk Empire HBO 9-10 PM EST Sunday
Masters of Sex Showtime 10-11 PM EST Sunday
Hello Ladies HBO 10:30-11 PM EST Sunday

Shows that I've dumped:
Bones Fox 8-9 PM EST Monday
Beauty & the Beast CW 9-10 PM EST Monday
Grimm NBC 9-10 PM EST Friday

There are others I haven't decided about and I didn't even bother to list my regular late night viewing. It's always hardest to keep track of the cable channels though. They're aren't listed in EW's grids.

The Tomorrow People is a complete reboot (or it better be or I'll be ticked), so no prior knowledge is required.

A very concise list.

Ravenswood ABC Family 9-10 PM EST Tuesday
Apparently, it's a spin-off of Pretty Little Liars which I don't watch but it looks like it has a supernatural mystery and I love those. I'm going to give it a try as well, but if the writing is anything like PLL, then I'm going to be confused by the 3rd episode. >.<

Reign CW 9-10 PM EST Thursday
I mean it's a costume drama on a broadcast network which is nice but I usually don't stick with them, like I dropped The White Queen and The Tudors. Sounds interesting, but the fact that it's on the CW leaves me suspect to how good it's going to be.

Almost Human Fox 8-9 PM EST Monday
It has Karl Urban but also Dystopian ideas and robots... Can't wait for this one, I love JJ Abrams plus it has Urban from Star Trek and Ealy from Common Law (a show they shouldn't have cancelled).

And yay! I'm not the only one that dumped Bones!
