In the world of reality television, ABC follows Donald Trump's footsteps with "Shark Tank," a show that puts ordinary inventors/creators in front of a panel of millionaires, each of whom is a leader in his or her chosen field and has a junk of his or her own personal money (supposedly) to invest in the project - if they like the pitch enough. Dreams will undoubtedly come true on this show, but just like American Idol, we are bound to see some really crappy "auditions," too!

And if none of these strike your fancy, you can always hold out for mid-season. ABC has "V," starring Lost's Elizabeth Mitchell and the yummy Joel Gretsch, which may prove to be nothing more than just a technologically updated attempt at a less-than-mediocre 1980s b-series...or it could be modern-day revolution, sparking debates about faith, hope, and cult-like devotion.

The one that already proves to be more than interesting, though, is The CW's "Parental Discretion Advised," as it has been called "Gilmore Girls for the even quirkier set." Plus, it stars Kristoffer Polaha, who is just too adorable and sweet not to finally succeed with one of his shows!
