This week started in August, but it’ll end in September and with September comes the start of the fall TV season! For those of you trying to keep track of when your favorite shows will return, and when all of those heavily promoted new series will premiere, we have the schedule for you!

We’re still adding to it, but for now, below is the Fall 2011 TV premiere schedule, including the major network premieres and some cable premieres. At the start of the schedule right now is Sons of Anarchy, leading the pack on FX. (Insert motorcycle roar here). Things don’t really start to get going until midway through September, after which the flood of new and returning shows begins!
