Briefly: Can you even believe this is happening?

I was a big fan of Prison Break through its original run, and as such, I don’t really remember what happened to Michael Scofield and co., simply because it was so damned long ago.

In any case, the first trailer for the upcoming, new season of the series has just hit the web, and it somehow looks both nostalgic and fresh all at the same time.

In the thrilling new event series Prison Break, original series stars Wentworth Miller, Dominic Purcell, Sarah Wayne Callies, Amaury Nolasco, Robert Knepper, Rockmond Dunbar and Paul Adelstein are reunited for an all-new adventure spanning the globe and featuring the signature thrills and cliffhangers that were hallmarks of the original series when it aired on FOX from 2005-2009.

The original action drama centered on MICHAEL SCOFIELD (Miller, “The Loft”), a young man determined to save his convicted brother, LINCOLN BURROWS (Purcell, “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow”), from death row by hatching an elaborate plan to escape from prison. In the all-new event series, filmed on location in Morocco, clues surface that suggest a previously thought-to-be-dead Michael may be alive. Lincoln and SARA (Sarah Wayne Callies, “Colony,” “The Walking Dead”), Michael’s wife until he was assumed dead, reunite to engineer the series’ biggest escape ever, as three of Fox River State Penitentiary’s most notorious escapees, SUCRE (Nolasco, “Telenovela”), T-BAG (Knepper, “Heroes”) and C-NOTE (Dunbar, “The Mentalist”), are pulled back into the action.

Take a look at the trailer below, and be sure to let us know what you think!

10. Resurrection

By now I think you’ve realized the only new shows I’m excited for are just because of the involvement of one person. So… THIS ONE HAS THE DAD FROM THAT 70’S SHOW AS A CREEPY NEIGHBOR WHO WE OF COURSE REMEMBER AS BODDICKER IN ROBOCOP. Done. I can’t even remember what this show’s about. Sue me.

9. Crisis

Political intrigue. Kids in Danger. Blah blah blah. Gillian Anderson is in it, and she’s a bad bitch. The pilot was directed by the guy who did Salt. Imagine THAT movie with Scully. Best. Shit. Ever.

8. Killer Women

Do I know what this show is about? No. Do I know it has BSG’s Tricia Helfer as a gun-slinging badass? Yes. So I will probably own every season of this show when it comes out on Blu-Ray. Absolutely.

7. Hostage

Toni Collette and Josh Holloway star in this gritty CBS drama where Collette plays a surgeon chosen to operate on the president whose family is subsequently taken hostage. I am a fan of trashy, political, ticking time bomb shows and the involvement of Collette bodes well for it. This has potential to be the next 24 (at least until 24 comes back), but I think Blacklist will give it a run for its money seeing as both have similar themes. This better be as taut and edgy as it has potential to be.

6. Once Upon a Time in Wonderland

Is it a little too presumptuous of a series to do a spin off after season 2? Yes. Should we all be really excited about it? Absolutely. OUAT, in case you don’t watch, is a really great show. It started out a little rough, but it finally found its voice and a way of balancing now three timelines. The fairy tale genre is really expansive, and now that we’ve finally got a show that made it past season 1 that explores it, I hope we get all the different universes. And think about the crossover storylines later on!

5. Super Fun Night

While I think it’s a little too soon in her career to start a television show, I certainly am excited to see Rebel Wilson in her own series, a sitcom about a group of nerdy girls who set out every week to have a “Super Fun Night”. This is a really cool premise that has potential to have a lot of humor and depth, but there is a chance it could just end up being repetitive garbage… So I’ll be on the lookout.

4. The Blacklist

This show is 50 Shades of Whaaaaaaaa? James Spader, the world’s most wanted man, gives himself over to the FBI? Why did he do it? What is going on? OH MY GOD POLITICS! This has potential to be the most addictive new show on network television. It is drenched in soapy espionage that makes for a really good series and also James Spader guys! Plus a kickass lady action hero. Sign me up!

3. The Crazy Ones

Yeah I know it’s CBS, but CBS has tried this year to get some edgier comedies because they’re tired of only being watched by right-wing, ancient hillbillies. In case you haven’t heard of it, this is the show that’s making my nerdy side quiver with delight just because of the two principle actors: Sarah Michelle Gellar and Robin Williams. This has full potential to suck, but from the trailer it looks pretty funny. Remember how fun it was seeing both of these people on TV? Put them together aaaaaand it’s either going to be my favorite show ever or a complete disaster.

2. Sleepy Hollow

Again, being someone who was a big fan of Fringe, it’s assumed that my number 2 would be Sleepy Hollow, the new Alexander Horowitz sci-fi mystery about Ichabod Crane… time travelling? Yeah, okay, this sounds like a show conceived in the bad part of the coke binge, but it’s actually looking really interesting. Crane wakes up in present day America to find the world in a dystopian state and it appears to be connected to the Headless Horseman. If there’s anyone that can pull this off, it’s the people behind Fringe.

1. Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Being a bigger than average Joss Whedon fan, it’s natural that my number one pick for show with the most potential is Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Joss’s freshly picked up series set in the Marvel Universe focusing on the agents of said organization. Think about it! Finally, the man gets a show that has potential to make it past season 2! Regardless of how quirky and nerdy-deep it gets, people are going to watch because it’s set in the world of The Avengers. Just about everyone is probably going to want to check this out. I only hope more of the Whedonverse get to make appearances!

Well those are my top ten. So think, if those are the top ten, what must the bottom ten be like?
