Zero Hour - Nazis, conspiracy, clocks! I’m in.
Defiance - from SyFy (probably using Eureka’s budget – hee!) – should be fun! (But have to wait till APRIL! Wahhh)
NBC is going to have Hannibal The Beginning – set years before Silence of the Lambs. This could be good! (No previews yet. Found pic at TV.Com NBC has a spot at their site here. Couldn’t find a start date. Grrrr.
Continuum - cops, time travel, fish out of water, future, woot! Starts 1/14/13
The Following - I wasn’t sure about this one until I saw this. Will NOT be for younger viewers. Definitely. I do like the Edgar Allan Poe angle. *shiver*
The Americans - cold war, sleeper spies, internal conflicts – oh yeah! Starts 1/30/13
