Tonight's TV Premiere Reminders: 9/21/11

For these first few weeks of fall TV, I'll have quick posts up at 9am each day reminding you of which shows start that night, with times and channels and maybe a quick thought or two. Remember, you can see my whole fall TV spreadsheet here. (All times Eastern.)

8 p.m.:
The Middle season 3 premiere, ABC
I've heard very good things about this, but just haven't had time to get into it. Warning: This premiere also looks like two back-to-back episodes, like HIMYM.

The X Factor series premiere, FOX
Because what the world needs now is more singing shows.

9 p.m.:
Criminal Minds season 7 premiere, CBS
All I really know about this is that they keep having somewhat controversial casting changes. I know that's unhelpful. Sorry.

Harry's Law season 2 premiere, NBC
Kathy Bates is awesome, of course, and I adore Nathan Corddry, but this one was just too ridiculous for me.

Modern Family season 3 premiere, ABC
As you may have noticed, the Emmys really like this show. I swear I will catch up soon. (They're also doing two back-to-back episodes tonight, I think.)

10 p.m.:
CSI season 12 premiere, CBS
Wow, that's a lot of seasons.

Law & Order: SVU season 13 premiere, NBC
Wow, that's even more seasons.

Revenge series premiere, ABC
This is a Hamptons soap based on The Count of Monte Cristo, and I'm pretty excited about it. Emily van Camp! Eric from Gossip Girl! Whee!
