New buzzworthy network TV shows

TVGuide.com’s editorial team selected eight shows that they say stand out as the most fun, the highest quality and the most buzz-worthy out of the 21 new shows premiering on the five major networks this fall.

The eight shows are (listed in alphabetical order): Community (NBC), Cougar Town (ABC), FlashForward (ABC), Glee (FOX), Melrose Place (CW), Modern Family (ABC), NCIS: Los Angeles (CBS), and The Vampire Diaries (CW).

A complete schedule of new and returning television premiere dates, online video previews and streaming episodes, and show recaps and synopses are available in the Fall Preview section of TVGuide.com. In addition, TV Guide Network will premiere its two-hour “2009 Fall TV Preview” special on Sunday, September 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT.
