Yes, I know, cable TV shows launch year-round.

But network television still, mostly, stays with the annual fall tradition of launching a slew of new shows at once and calling it 'the new season.'

Which ones have you tried?

I was surprised by how much I liked the first episode of Last Resort (ABC) — and how much I, a fan of the BBC series, Sherlock, disliked the new Holmesian series Elementary on CBS.

Not to rush to judgment, but there's only so much space on my DVR hard drive.

While we're at it, not a completely new show, but what about the TNT series Major Crimes, which has just recently been spun out of the late, beloved The Closer?

Of the new shows you have you seen — which do you recommend? Tell us in the comments section below, including the shows of which we should steer clear!

I am greatly enjoying "Sons of Anarchy," and the "Good Wife." Both are well-written shows that do a great job of developing characters.

Sons of Anarchy definitely!! Such a great show.

Currently loving "The Mindy Project" on FOX. It's a great half-hour of comedy. "Modern Family" and "Parks and Recreation" are more comedies that don't disappoint. In terms of dramas, "Once Upon a Time" and "Revenge" on ABC Sunday nights are very entertaining. "Once" is a great drama for the whole family too!

Go On, the new Matthew Perry show.

And if we are talking about cable shows, my current fave is Boardwalk Empire. Lots of new twists and turns to follow.

All the standards. Both NCIS shows. Hawaii 5-0. Castle. And of course Ghost Hunters and Mythbusters. Elementary isn't very good though. Too bad, I thought it would be better.

I didn't have high hopes for Elementary, because I saw and loved the BBC's Sherlock, which is kind of the same idea, and figured it would probably be a lame rip-off...

Although, I was kind of intrigued by Lucy Liu as Watson. I may check out TNT's Perception, which has a similar vibe.
