This fall’s lineup of television shows, whether drama, comedy or otherwise is full of questions. What was up with the “Grey’s” finale? Is Pam from “The Office” pregnant? Will “Private Practice” lose Violet and her unborn baby? How will “One Tree Hill” fare without Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton? This still-fledgling spin-off of “Grey’s Anatomy” ended its second season with just as much drama as its mother show, leaving Violet (played by Amy Brenneman) and her unborn child’s life hanging in the balance. Other drama included Addison nearly giving in to her affair with Noah, Sam and Naomi once again trying to figure out their relationship, Charlotte getting fired and Violet choosing Pete over Sheldon. The finale closed in a disturbing fashion with Violet lying immobilized on the floor while a patient she had been counseling prepared to cut out the child she was carrying. This show had its finale among the earliest this year, and it will unfortunately start among the latest. “Private Practice” premieres Thursday, Oct. 1 at 9 p.m. on ABC. The Office The well-loved mockumentary starring Steve Carell is in its sixth season this year, and plenty of plots hang in the balance. The season finale, titled “Company Picnic,” was full of relationship surprises. Amy Ryan returned as Michael’s renewed love interest Holly, when they performed “Slumdunder Mifflinaire” together at the picnic. The spark between the two of them reignited, leaving viewers wondering what the future might hold for them. Other business staff shakeups will test the future of “The Office,” but the biggest news of the finale came when Jim and Pam had to visit the emergency room after Pam sprained her ankle during a volleyball game. Though the camera stays behind the glass so no dialogue is heard, the finale closed with the doctor telling the couple some news — it is heavily hinted that Pam is pregnant, given the couple’s ecstatic reaction. Season six premieres Thursday, Sept. 17 at 9 p.m. on NBC. Heroes In its third season, titled “Villains,” TV drama “Heroes” ended its season finale with all of the main characters standing around the fire where the character who is supposed to be Sylar is being burned alive. Characters Angela, HRG and Parkman know it is not truly Sylar, but all of them walk away from the fire and the scene closes with him being consumed in the flames. In a different twist, the season finale also previewed the next installment of “Heroes,” which is titled “Redemption.” Tracy, played by Ali Larter, hunted down and killed former agents of “Building 26” in this preview, and it concluded with Nathan/Sylar watching a clock running a minute and a half fast, then correcting it to run on the right time. Confused yet? There’s plenty of information online to help viewers catch up, including NBC’s Web site. Season four is said to begin with the main characters trying to adjust to their new surroundings while more subplots and characters threaten to destroy everything they know. The fourth installment of “Heroes” will begin with a two-hour premiere Monday, Sept. 21 on NBC. Grey’s Anatomy Even without watching the show, most have heard about the season finale of “Grey’s Anatomy,” which aired in May. The show intentionally kept viewers in the dark through the entire episode about a John Doe patient who jumped in front of a bus to save someone else, and took the audience on a rollercoaster with Izzie Stevens and her battle with cancer. Both lives were left hanging in the balance during the last seconds of the finale. Audiences will find out what happened to both characters in the season premiere. T.R. Knight has publicly stated he is not returning to the show for the sixth season, but nobody knows how the characters will react to George’s death. Katherine Heigl, who plays Izzie, is signed on for this season, but it is not known if she will be present as a real character or a ghost. Meanwhile, rumors say Cristina and Owen will face more troubles this season with his Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and of course Meredith and Derek will have their fair share of relationship issues, as always. “Grey’s Anatomy” premieres Thursday, Sept. 24 at 9 p.m. on ABC. One Tree Hill “One Tree Hill” is in its seventh season this year, and this will be the first year the show does not have all of its core characters in place. Having ended last season with Lucas and Peyton’s marriage and very quickly after welcoming their baby girl, it is reported that the two characters will not be returning to the show. Chad Michael Murray and Hilarie Burton did not renew their contracts for the seventh season, leaving many fans wondering what the future of the show will be. Brooke Davis, played by Sophia Bush, looks to be taking control of the lead in the show, with her fashion line and new love Julian Baker to keep her busy. Adding to these storylines are Nathan Scott and Haley James Scott. Nathan is now in the NBA, and Haley is working on finishing her current record. New characters are rumored to be hitting the scene for the seventh season, including Robert Buckley (“Lipstick Jungle”), playing Nathan’s agent, and Shantel VanSanten (“The Final Destination” movie), playing Haley’s younger sister. So can Tree Hill move on without the character that started the show and his epic love interest? Season seven premieres Monday, Sept. 14 at 9 p.m. on the CW.  Add as favorites (30) | Views: 1583
