Our Giant Guide To Fall's Must-See Science Fiction And Fantasy TV

By Meredith Woerner

Our Giant Guide To Fall's Must-See Science Fiction And Fantasy TV Zombies, bloody face monsters, aliens, and swashbuckling anti-electricity villains — this fall TV has it all. Here's the chronological list of the genre television shows you cannot miss this fall, including trailers for the new seasons of Walking Dead and Once Upon A Time, and clips from new series like Revolution.

September

Click to view Coma
The talent attached to this two-night TV movie is ridiculous. Geena Davis, James Woods, Richard Dreyfus, and Ellen Burstyn all play a part in Ridley Scott's horrifying medical conspiracy theory movie, Coma. The mysterious Jefferson Institute claim they're taking in coma patients when their funds run out, but slowly a crop of young doctors realize there's a more nefarious plan in action.
Where: A&E
When: Monday and Tuesday, September 3 and 4

Click to viewRobot Chicken
Robot Chicken will launch its sixth season with a DC Comics special, so get ready for Green Lantern and his new glowing cock ring, plus more gags about how Aquaman sucks.
Where: Adult Swim
When: Sunday, September 9

Click to viewRevolution
Eric Kripke and J.J. Abrams show us what happens when the lights go out. Like all of the lights, even the ones with batteries! At some point, Giancarlo Esposito probably fights the Mustache Dad from Twilight with a fucking sword. That's a win, even if the show ends up imploding into itself second season, Abrams style.
Where: NBC
When: Monday, September 17

Click to view The Neighbors
A sassy family moves next door to a family of aliens. They don't immediately shoot all of them in the face, nor do they alert the government that scaly green people with supremely advanced technology are cloaking themselves in human skin and leaving pies in their driveway.
Where: ABC
When: Wednesday, September 26

Click to viewLast Resort
The United States has an island standoff when one of their own submarine crews goes rogue after refusing to fire on their own. Now they're armed with a nuclear warhead and taking refuge in a beautiful island. Who will crack first?
Where: ABC
When: Thursday, September 27

Click to viewFringe
The very final season of Fringe. Encased in amber, the team has been asleep for 20 years and released to fight off Earth's totalitarian government ruled by The Observers. It's a fight to save the world, and it looks absolutely amazing. It's going to be hard to say goodbye to these guys, but we're happy Olivia, Walter, Peter and Astrid are going out in style.
Where: Fox
When: Friday, September 28

Click to viewPerson of Interest
Who was on the other end of the phone with Reese? Where is Finch? What is happening? Can't wait to find out, thanks to the collection of cameras placed throughout the world of POI.
Where: CBS
When: Thursday, September 27

Click to view Once Upon a Time
The second season of Once unleashed a whole boatload of magic into the real world. No idea how this will effect Pongo, but I'm sure it will be monumental. In other news, characters such as Captain Hook, Mulan, Sleeping Beauty, Rapunzel, Aladdin, and Ariel are all rumored to be joining the town of Storybrooke. Plus, the identity of Henry's father will be revealed in this season. Fingers crossed it's Bambi's Dad.
Where: ABC
When: Sunday, September 30

Click to view666 Park Avenue
A young, good-looking couple gets a very good deal on an apartment in New York City. Too bad for them the apartment feeds off of attractive people's souls or something. Vanessa Williams and Terry O'Quinn star as the head of this evil hotel, which should have been the first giveaway to the new couple. Anything with O'Quinn in it has got to be evil.
Where: ABC
When: Sunday, September 30

Click to viewRandy Cunningham: 9th Grade Ninja
An adorable little ninja vs. monster series starring Jim Rash, Tim Curry, Megan Mullally, and John Oliver. Get ready to start saying things like "That's the Cheese!"
Where: Disney XD[

Click to view Clone Wars
The Sith brothers are back and screaming all sorts of insanity. We can't wait for Darth Maul and his equally horned brother to kill all the Jedis, or at the very least slice up Jon Favreau's character.
Where: Cartoon Network
When: The first episode of the new season, "Revival," is set to debut on August 24, 2012 at Celebration VI. But it won't air on television until mid-September.

Community returns — minus the show's creator, Dan Harmon — for a final farewell. The fourth season will conclude our time at Greendale, but the cast did promise to expand the world of Inspector Spacetime in the upcoming months, and that is a very Blorgon thing.

Our Giant Guide To Fall's Must-See Science Fiction And Fantasy TV American Horror Story: Asylum
The horror series is returning with a lot of the same actors, but none of them are playing the same character. Confused? So are we. Set in a 1970s asylum, the lead singer of Maroon 5 joins up with Jessica Lange, who runs the crazy palace. That's all we know. Oh, and there are no ghosts, just someone named "bloody face."
Where: FX
When: Sometime in October
