.	The Good Place Trailer	Comedy	10p
This 13-episode sitcom comes from Parks and Recreation creator Mike Schur and, like his previous show, features a smart, complex, female lead character. Kristen Bell stars as a New Jersey woman who attempts to change her life for the better, if she could only figure out what exactly it means to be a good person. (Oh, and—minor detail—she's dead. Due to a bureaucratic mix-up, she finds herself in a much better afterlife than she deserves.) Ted Danson will aid her in her journey. Back-to-back new episodes air tonight before the series moves to its regular Thursday 8:30p timeslot on 9/22.

.	Bull Trailer	Drama	9p
Before he was a daytime TV staple, Dr. Phil McGraw was an in-demand trial consultant, helping defense attorneys analyze juries and witnesses. Michael Weatherly (NCIS) plays a slightly fictionalized version of the younger McGraw (fictionalized enough that he has "a physicality and feral intelligence that make him magnetic to women") in this legal procedural written by the doctor himself, along with Paul Attanasio (House).
	Defying the Nazis: The Sharps' War	Documentary	9p
.	Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.	Drama	10p

	Strut	Reality	Oxygen, 9p
.	This Is Us Trailer	Drama/Comedy	10p
Dan Fogelman (Galavant) moves on to an NBC dramedy series that had surprisingly strong buzz during the recent pilot season. This Is Us doesn't exactly have a story that jumps out on paper—it's an ensemble piece revolving around various people (some sharing the same birthday) whose lives intertwine in surprising ways—but it does have a cast led by Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia, plus recent The People v. O.J. Simpson standout Sterling K. Brown. The series will also reunite Fogelman with directors John Requa and Glenn Ficarra, who first teamed on Crazy, Stupid, Love (which Fogelman wrote).
WED / September 21

	Chicago P.D.	Drama	10p
.	Designated Survivor Trailer	Drama	10p
It's not 24, but it's not all that much of a departure, either. Kiefer Sutherland returns to TV as a low-level cabinet member (the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development) who suddenly becomes president after a terrorist attack during the State of the Union address kills everyone else in the line of succession. Not only is he unprepared for his new position, but he must also face an immediate military showdown with Iran, which is threatening action amidst the chaos in America. Kal Penn, Maggie Q, and Natascha McElhone also star. The series comes from screenwriter David Guggenheim (Safe House).

.	Lethal Weapon Trailer	Drama	8p
Yes, it's that Lethal Weapon. Matt Miller (Chuck, Forever) adapts the classic Los Angeles-based buddy-cop film series to TV, with the help of director McG. Damon Wayans, Sr. inherits the Murtaugh role from Danny Glover, while Clayne Crawford (Rectify) plays the Riggs role originated by Mel Gibson.
	Modern Family	Comedy	9p
Nathon Fillion will be featured in a recurring role this eighth season, which will also include a guest appearance by Martin Short.
.	Speechless Trailer	Comedy	8:30p
This single-camera family comedy has the distinction—rare among any current series—of centering on a family with a special-needs child: a teenager who appears to be the family's sole voice of reason after a disappointing move to a new town. Minnie Driver, John Ross Bowie, and Cedric Yarbrough head the cast. The series comes from former Friends writer/producer Scott Silveri.

	Grey's Anatomy	Drama	8p
	How to Get Away With Murder	Drama	10p
The third season will find Dexter's Lauren Vélez joining the cast in a recurring role, while Conrad Ricamora has been elevated to series regular. Esai Morales and Amy Madigan will also guest this season.
	Million Dollar Listing New York: Ryan's Wedding	Reality	Bravo, 9p
.	Notorious Trailer	Drama	9p
"Living at the intersection of law and media" (just a few miles down from the junction of originality and excitement) is this drama that's loosely based on the connected personal and professional lives of criminal defense attorney Mark Geragos and Larry King Live producer Wendy Walker (who both serve as producers on the show), with a story from Josh Berman (Drop Dead Diva) and blogger Allie Hagan. Piper Perabo (Covert Affairs) and Daniel Sunjata (Graceland) star. The show will break up ABC's formerly all-Shonda Rhimes Thursday night lineup, at least in the fall.
.	Pitch TrailerTrailer2	Drama	9p
A young pitcher becomes the first woman to play in the majors when she is called up by the San Diego Padres in this sports drama from Dan Fogelman (Galavant) and Rick Singer. Star Kylie Bunbury (Under the Dome, Twisted) has already been generating great buzz for her strong performance in the pilot. The show's creators are aiming for realism in the baseball scenes, so another plus is a license from Major League Baseball, which means that you'll see actual team uniforms, stadiums, and potentially even players. Bob Balaban, Ali Larter, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Mark Consuelos, and Dan Lauria also star, and Paris Barclay (Sons of Anarchy) directs the pilot and produces.

This reboot of the classic action-adventure series (which ran on ABC for seven seasons from 1985-92) stars Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class) as a much younger MacGyver, a problem solver who creates a secret organization within the federal government. The show was picked up despite the network's dissatisfaction with the pilot, which has been completely scrapped. The mostly re-cast series (with supporting players including Justin Hires and CSI's George Eads) is produced by James Wan (Furious 7), who will direct the freshly rewritten opener.

Writers Jonathan Nolan (The Dark Knight, Person of Interest) and Lisa Joy (Burn Notice)—plus producer J.J. Abrams—adapt Michael Crichton's 1973 film into an amibitious new series about a futuristic, Old West-themed, adults-only "amusement park" where anything goes, and one that's populated by lifelike artificial intelligence that theoretically has been programmed never to murder the paying customers. (Like any technology, it may be a bit buggy.) The loaded cast includes Anthony Hopkins (in his first ever regular TV role), Ed Harris, Evan Rachel Wood, James Marsden, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton, Tessa Thompson, and Sidse Babett Knudsen. Some of those stars (the ones playing androids, at least) may appear as multiple characters throughout the show's 10-episode run and beyond. Some caveats, however: production was shut down for two months midway through the first season as the writers' ambitions perhaps got the better of them. And the series has already attracted controversy for scenes of violence against women in the opening episodes.

	Class Divide	Documentary	9p
.	Conviction Trailer	Drama	10p
Hayley Atwell moves on from Agent Carter to this more conventional legal drama, portraying what amounts to a naughtier version of Chelsea Clinton. A lawyer and former First Daughter with a drug problem, she takes a job offer from her "sexy nemesis," a New York District Attorney, to head up his new wrongful conviction unit to avoid jail time for a cocaine possession charge (and avoid harming her mother's Senate campaign). The soapy procedural (an ABC specialty) also stars Eddie Cahill, Shawn Ashmore, and Emily Kinney.

The action-adventure series actually involves dueling time machines: When a criminal (ER's Goran Visnjic) steals one with the goal of changing the past to destroy America as we know it, an unlikely trio of heroes (a scientist, a history professor, and a soldier) uses the machine's prototype to try to stop him. Matt Lanter (90210), Abigail Spencer (Rectify), Malcolm Barrett (Better Off Ted), and Paterson Joseph (Peep Show) also star.
