What to watch; upcoming fall television shows
September 24, 2014
Anyone who’s a fan of watching television should be excited about Fall 2014; viewers should get ready to surf some channels and get hooked on some new shows, as well as fall in love all over again with series’ new seasons.
Promising new series are scheduled to air all throughout September and October. Both Fox and CW have new series based on comic book worlds: “Gotham” and “The Flash,” based on the plots of Batman and Flash comics, respectively. “Gotham,” airing Sept. 22 at 7 p.m., revolves around future Gotham police commissioner Jim Gordon and his original story. “The Flash,” premiering Oct. 7 at 7 p.m., focuses on protagonist Barry Allen’s transformation into the fastest man alive after a lab explosion.
For those not interested in superhero action series, the History channel has recently premiered the new “Houdini” starring Adrien Brody. A new show which first aired Sept. 1 at 8 p.m., “Houdini” will chronicle the life of illusionist Harry Houdini. Those not interested in either genre may instead enjoy “A to Z,” a romantic comedy that narrates a couple’s relationship from its beginning to end. Starring Ben Feldman from “Mad Men” and Cristin Milioti from “How I Met Your Mother,” this new show airs Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. on NBC.
TV-lovers can also rekindle their love for their favorite shows, because some are making a comeback. The ever-popular “American Horry Story” is putting out a new season, subtitled as “Freak Show,” on Oct. 8 at 10 p.m. on FX. Much of the old cast will star again, this time in the setting of a carnival’s freak show. In the same horror and adventure genre, “Supernatural” is making its return to CW for its 10th season, airing Oct. 7 at 8 p.m. Two days before the new season premier for “Supernatural” is that of “Bob’s Burgers,” airing Oct. 5 at 6:30 p.m.
With this multitude of new and recurring television shows to be aired in the upcoming fall months, tv-watchers should reserve multiple hours of their time. From action to adventure, romance to comedy, or drama to horror, the Fall 2014 television line up is sure to please.

Yearbook won 43, newspaper won 14 and broadcast took home nine. “I think [the ILPC awards] are a great way to give the kids some acknowledgement for all of their hard work,” newspaper and yearbook adviser Paige Hert said. “They typically spend the year covering everyone else’s big moments, so it’s really cool for them to be celebrated so many times and in so many different ways.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/edited-ILPC.jpg)

"I feel like it’s not really appreciated in America as much, but [tennis] is a really competitive and mentally challenging sport,” Nguyen said. “I’m really level-headed and can keep my cool during a match, and that helps me play a bit better under pressure.” Photo by Kyra Cox](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/hasun.jpg)

Lucas broke the school’s 18-year-old record for the 500 freestyle at regionals and again at state with a time of 4:58.63. “I’d had my eye on that 500 record since my freshman year, so I was really excited to see if I could get it at regionals or districts,” Lucas said. “ State is always a really fun experience and medaling for the first time was really great. It was a very very tight race, [so] I was a bit surprised [that I medaled]. [There were] a lot of fast girls at the meet in general, [and] it was like a dogfight back and forth, back and forth.” Photo by Kaydence Wilkinson](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Kaydence-2.7-23-edit-2.jpg)

Grandow finished fourth in the event and led the varsity girls to regionals with a third place placement as a team. “I’m very excited [to go to regionals],” Grandow said. “I’m excited to race in Corpus Christi, and we get to go to the beach, so that’s really awesome.” Photo by Addison Bruce](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/brianna.jpg)

Hedges has fun on the job, as there’s significantly less pressure than other jobs he has had. “I [used to umpire] little league baseball, and it’s definitely less stressful,” Hedges said. “There’s not much [that can go wrong] scanning groceries. Making a bad call in baseball is so easy.”](https://cphswolfpack.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/BF3C2083-817E-4847-B673-1FEF973AB972-300x300.jpeg)
