The fourth season of Heroes kicks off with two episodes tonight entitled “Orientation” and “Jump, Push, Fall”. TiVo provides a joined description:

A mysterious death pushes Claire into the spotlight; Angela worries that Nathan will discover his true identity; an unexpected visitor haunts Matt; H.R.G. and Tracy join forces.

Meanwhile House returns for a sixth season with a two-hour special, “Broken”, described by TiVo as:

House goes through detox, hoping to stop the hallucinations that tormented him; Dr. Nolan refuses to sign the paperwork to reinstate House’s license unless House participates in is own mental recovery.

The debut of Accidentally on Purpose looks pretty bad, but I’ll give it a shot. According to TiVo:

After a breakup from a charming committment-phobe, Billie finds herself pregnant by a fling with a younger man, but she decides to keep both her baby and its father.

The second episode of Gossip Girl‘s third season, entitled “The Freshman”, has the following TiVo description:

Georgina is determined to make Blair a social outcast; Serena tries to get even with Chuck; Bree and Nate decide to continue exploring their relationship.

Hope they keep the heinous Georgina’s appearance to a minimum, let that breastless freak stay in her new show.

The third season of The Big Bang Theory kicks off with an episode entitled “The Electric Can Opener Fluctuation” with the following TiVo description:

After tampering with Sheldon’s Arctic-expedition data, the guys follow him back to Texas, which threatens Leonard’s chances for romance with Penny.

Castle‘s second season kicks off with an episode entitled “Deep in Death”, which TiVo describes as follows:

Castle considers how to fix his relationship with Beckett and finish writing his book, but the pair must investigate a dead man tangled in tree limbs.

Finally we have the eighth season return of CSI: Miami with a flashback episode entitled “Out of Time”, with the following TiVo description:

As Eric Delko’s life hangs in the balance, Horatio finds himself reminiscing about the formation of the CSI team and how its members first met.

So, is everyone pumped or what?

Chuck and Blair adjust to life as a couple; Serena returns from Europe with secrets and a complicated relationship; Rufus, Jenny and Dan get used to the van der Woodsens’ glamorous lifestyle.

So will the entire cast get a much needed bitch slap or will they all continue to be acquiesced to for no discernible reason?
