Last night saw the season premieres of “Prison Break,” “Gossip Girl” and “One Tree Hill,” meaning the fall season is now upon us. Check back tomorrow for my annual take on the fall schedule (the short version of which is “meh”). But in the meantime, here’s a list of the shows premiering over the next week:
Tonight (9/2): “90210” (CW, 8 p.m.) and the final season of “The Shield” (FX, 10 p.m.).
Wednesday (9/3): “Bones” (Fox, 8 p.m.), “America’s Next Top Model” (CW, 8 p.m.), “Top Design” (Bravo, 10 p.m.) and “Sons of Anarchy” (FX, 10 p.m.).
Thursday (9/4): Football football football!!! And “Kitchen Nightmares” (Fox, 8 p.m.).
Friday (9/5): … sigh … “Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader” (Fox, 8 p.m.).
Saturday (9/6): The 21st season of “Cops” (Fox, 8 p.m.).
Sunday (9/7): A sneak preview of “Hole in the Wall” (Fox, 8 p.m.), “True Blood” (HBO, 9 p.m.) (I’ll have a review for you on Thursday) and “Entourage” (HBO, 10 p.m.). MTV’s also got the 2008 Video Music Awards for those that care.
Not much to get your panties wet, you know. Although lord knows I’m hoping that “90210” turns out to be an abysmally entertaining train wreck (but it better derail fast, as I can’t imagine having the stamina to stick with that shite for more than an episode or too, Jessica Walter or no Jessica Walter).
Oh, and of course the Republican National Convention will be on all week. They’ve got a tough game to play this week, following last week’s Democrat spectacle and dealing with the Gustav/Hannah business (why does Mother Nature hate New Orleans so?), but us political wonks gotta watch anyways.

Where does the term "wonk" come from? I have a huge blind spot when it comes to political things. So many words just sound fake, like pundit or gubernatorial.
