The much anticipated fall television season has started off with lots of excitement, and it looks like the premieres of several new series and old favorites yet to come will not disappoint. Here's a recap of where a few shows left off with their finales last season.
Heroes season one ended with the death of two major villains, Sylar and Linderman. Season two, titled "Generations," premiered on NBC Sept. 24.
The fifth season of ABC's Dancing With the Stars looks like the show will only get better with age. Season five has stars such as Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Jane Seymour (Dr. Quinn Medicine Woman) and Jennie Garth (Beverly Hills, 90210).
Bones left its second season with Angela and Jack ditching their wedding after the State Department shows up with information about Angela's past. The series began its third season on Fox Sept. 25.
The third season of House M.D. left the sarcastic yet hilarious Dr. House without any of his three assistants. Dr. Foreman quit; Dr. Chase was fired; and Dr. Cameron quit. Season 4 premiered on Fox Sept. 25.
Yesterday the Grey's Anatomy spin-off Private Practice premiered. The show has Dr. Addison Montgomery leaving the Grey's Anatomy team for a public clinic run by her divorced friends in L.A.
Also yesterday NBC premiered Bionic Woman, originally a 1970s series. Bionic Woman is about Jaime Sommers, a car-crash victim who has several of her limbs replaced with bionic ones.
Tonight, season four of Grey's Anatomy premieres on ABC. Last season ended with heartbreak all around, as couples called it quits and Burke broke up with Cristina at the altar.
Ugly Betty returns tonight on ABC, and hopefully we'll resolve many unanswered questions from season one. Season one left off with the death of Santos on the night of his son's performance in West Side Story, the car wreck that left Alexis and Daniel both unconscious and the engagement of Wilhemina and Bradford.
Another beloved series, The Office, also returns tonight for its fourth season on NBC. Jim and Pam finally got together during last season's finale, while Ryan won the widely coveted promotion.
Tomorrow the crime-fighting duo of an FBI agent and his mathematician brother return for their fourth season on Numb3rs on CBS. Season three ended with the discovery that team member Colby Granger has been selling secrets to the Chinese as well as the revealing of the Janus List.
Sept. 30 will bring back everyone's favorite housewives to ABC for their fourth season. Desperate Housewives left off last season with the marriage of Mike and Susan, the possible death of Edie and Lynette's chemotherapy.
Pushing Daisies premieres Oct. 3 on ABC. It tells the story of a pie-maker named Ned with a unique gift -- if he touches dead people, they come back to life, but if he touches them again, they go back to being dead -- this time for good. Ned has been using this gift to collect reward money from the families of murder victims, but what should he do when his love Chuck dies? Pushing Daisies also has a special bonus for all you Broadway lovers, in the form of Kristin Chenoweth, the original Glinda from Wicked.
Scrubs season six ended with Elliot about to be married to Keith, and a possible rekindling of the Elliot-JD relationship from previous seasons. Unfortunately, fans will have to wait awhile to see what happens, because season seven of Scrubs doesn't premiere until Oct. 25.
Viewers have a lot of expectations about the fall television season, and networks are clearly pulling out all the stops to deliver.
