With the writers’ strike officially over, it’s now time for us to start anew. Let’s try to forget the repeats we’ve had to endure and focus on something else: the new Fall TV schedule!
There are many questions we all need to get answered. When will your favorite shows start? What days are they now on? Which DVR programming ‘conflicts’ will you have to resolve? Will you need to buy another television???
Hopefully our detailed guide can assist you in the weeks to come. We have compiled information from the five major networks and included the days, times and premiere dates for this season’s programs.
(NOTE: This schedule has been updated as of August 26. Don’t be surprised to see changes in the weeks to come.)

Hosting Quintet for 60th Annual Primetime Emmys

If you hated 2007’s Emmy Awards coverage, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news? The theater-in-the-round crap will be gone. (At least, I hope.) The bad news? Ryan Seacrest will once again be hosting. Though, in this case, he’ll be getting a little bit of help.
Instead of burdening one person with the ringleader task, the ceremony’s producers will be doling out the responsibility to five this time around. After all - who better to host a broadcast than the nominees for Outstanding Reality Host?
For the 60th Annual Primetime Emmys, those up for this year’s new category - Tom Bergeron (Dancing with the Stars), Heidi Klum (Project Runway), Howie Mandel (Deal or No Deal), Jeff Probst (Survivor) and Ryan Seacrest (American Idol) - will coincidentally be representing five different networks. Could this mean a much wider audience for ABC? They better hope so. Otherwise, one of them could be eliminated…
This fall’s telecast will be broadcast from Los Angeles on September 21.

The first reality TV-made millionaire, Survivor Richard Hatch, is prepared to take his tax evasion case all the way to the Supreme Court...but that doesn’t mean the highest body of lawmakers in the land will have anything to do with him.
Richard Hatch was convicted in 2006 of the same crime which took down mob kingpin Al Capone - income tax evasion. Hatch was sentenced to serve four years in prison for failure to pay a portion of the $1 million prize he received from winning Survivor. But Hatch isn’t going to go quietly.

Survivor Micronesia Finale: Stir the Pot!

This past season of Survivor: Micronesia saw a host of firsts. In addition to the endless number of blindsides, the Fans vs. Favorites saga saw three people go home for reasons unrelated to Tribal Council. The 39 days of competition also gave us our only female-empowered finale ever.
There were so many questions lingering around the last set of Tribal Councils. Would Natalie be applauded for sticking around so long? Would Cirie be recognized for all the strategic moves she actually headlined? Would Parvati have to pay for what she did to Ozzy? Would Amanda really end up being the threat everyone believed her to be? Would everyone still be all kissy and huggy now that they had to take each other down? Read on!

Does Tivo Reveal a Survivor Elimination?

Warning: Possible spoiler ahead!
I’m not sure if my recent discovery was merely a coincidence, but I found it quite interesting. While going through my DVR for the week, I noticed this Sunday’s Survivor: Micronesia finale left out one name from its summary.
For those who own Tivos, it’s not uncommon to see names of actors and/or competitors in a show description. But when a reality show only has five challengers left, does it mean something when only four of them are listed?

(You can view TV Envy’s Post-Strike Television Schedule here.)
MONDAY (5/5)
- Two and a Half Men (CBS, 9:00): (The script was written by CSI scribes.) “George Eads (CSI) has a cameo in which a CSI team investigates a death at Charlie’s house.” I know Charlie wanted to stop Denise’s reality show, but this is quite a sweeps stunt.
- House (FOX, 9pm): “House believes that an actor (Jason Lewis) on his favorite soap is seriously ill after observing his symptoms on television, so he decides to intervene.” If I had known something like that would work, I would have kidnapped Smith Jerrod a long time ago.
- Samantha Who? (ABC, 9:30pm): “Sam’s affair with Todd continues while he’s still seeing a clueless Chloe.” I’m sorry—why doesn’t Sam just kick her out of her apartment again? She does own the thing, doesn’t she?
- CSI: Miami (CBS, 10pm): “Alexx is stunned when her son is the prime suspect in a murder investigation, and any help she offers could prove costly.” Buh-bye, Khandi!
