Five More Must-See TV Shows
The X Factor, Person Of Interest, and more.
Patrick Wilson in "A Gifted Man." (CBS)
A GIFTED MAN
Patrick Wilson plays a talented (albeit shallow) surgeon given a wake-up call when visions of his dead wife (Jennifer Ehle) urge him to run her free clinic. Gimmicky premise, terrific execution. Premieres Sept. 23 on CBS
REVENGE
As a vengeful young woman who wreaks havoc on the Hamptons, Emily VanCamp is finally given a juicy headlining role. There hasn’t been a prime-time soap this fun in ages. Premieres Sept. 21 on ABC
THE X FACTOR
So this is why Simon Cowell fled Idol. He teams up with Paula Abdul for a U.S. reboot of his wildly popular talent show. If he succeeds? What a comeback. If he fails? Even more watchable. Premieres Sept. 21 on Fox
PERSON OF INTEREST
Big-screen mainstay Jim Caviezel teams up with Lost villain Michael Emerson in a crime series that casts its eye on this country’s lack of privacy. Premieres Sept. 22 on CBS
UP ALL NIGHT
Parents who begrudgingly love their kid? Check. Will Arnett and Christina Applegate try to maintain that precious work/life balance, and manage to elevate typical sitcom fare. Premieres Sept. 14 on NBC
