Riverdale (CW) -This show is so ridiculous, you're going to think we made it up. Luke Perry (90210), Cole Sprouse (Friends) and Madchen Amick (Twin Peaks) star in this dark adaptation of the Archie comics. And in case you were wondering, Ben Geller is playing Jughead and Dylan McKay is playing Archie's dad because, sure, why not?

Shots Fired (Fox) -Remember when people really loved Helen Hunt? If you long for that time, then this event series may be for you! Hunt stars in this drama about the fallout from a black cop shooting a white man in Tennessee. Not exactly the wacky romcom vibes of Mad About You, but we doubt any Hunt-heads will mind. (That is what Helen Hunt fans are called, aren't they?)

Speechless (ABC) -1997 was Minnie Driver's year. She starred inGood Will Hunting, Grosse Pointe Blank and voiced a lead character in the English version ofPrincess Mononoke.

Plus, Lenny Kravitz will also guest-star in the first episode, and who doesn't want to see that?

Still Star-Crossed(ABC) -There are never enough Buffyalums on TV. So the fact that Giles himself, Anthony Head, is starring in Shonda Rhimes' Shakespearean drama, about what happened after Romeo and Juliet died, has us stoked.

This Is Us(NBC) -This show is tailor-made for millennials. Mandy Moore stars in this drama about a group of characters who are all turning 36 on the same day.

Trial & Error (NBC) -When it comes to '90s sitcoms, 3rd Rock from the Sun doesn't get the credit it deserves. Now, John Lithgow is returning to broadcast comedy to remind us of everything we've been missing out on. Lithgow stars as quirky professor who's accused of murdering his wife. Sounds hilarious, right?
