Here is a great article from Boston.com and Associated Press about the British Invasion on the American Fall TV Schedule. All of my favorite new shows are listed including CHUCK, PUSHING DAISIES, MOONLIGHT, BIONIC WOMAN, and NEW AMSTERDAM. It’s a fun quick read and pretty interesting when you think about it.

A bevy of British actors, most sporting American accents, are being yanked across the pond and into US prime time this fall.

“Everybody’s going!” exclaims Sophia Myles as she waited, bags packed, for her work visa to arrive. The British beauty’s movie credits include Isolde in the historical romance “Tristan & Isolde” and the upcoming sci-fi action film “Outlander.” But now she’s reporter Beth Turner in “Moonlight,” the vampire-themed crime series, premiering on CBS Sept. 28.

Kevin McKidd wasn’t “going to do it” when first offered the role of time-traveling American journalist Dan Vassar in “Journeyman,” debuting on NBC Sept. 24. But Liam Neeson, with whom he worked on the movie “Kingdom of Heaven,” took him aside and suggested he “rethink.” He did, and now the Scottish actor, familiar to HBO viewers as Lucius Vorenus in the historical drama “Rome,” has moved his family to Los Angeles. “Luckily, I have a brave wife who knows the game. It’s a gamble, but then this life always is,” he says.

NBC was first to kick off UPFRONTS! This is the week where every network blows their load and announces the new shows and lineups for the upcoming Fall TV season.

Of the new shows NBC has to offer, I’m only interested in the following two dramas and one comedy.

LIFE (Wednesday’s 10pm)
It’s about some guy that gets a second chance at life. Fine, not the best concept but the supporting cast is great. Sexy (last seen as a lesbo) Sarah Shahi, Deadwood (and Juliet’s sister on LOST) alum Robin Weigert, and Adam Arkin join Damian Lewis for what will hopefully be a good show.

LIPSTICK JUNGLE (Sunday’s 10pm)
Sure Candace Bushnell is behind this show and its kinda like a sequel to Sex & The City but PPD-Survivor Brooke Shields stars along with Kim Raver (Audrey from 24) and Lindsey Price (hello, 90210 – but sadly still not Emily Valentine) will be working it as the NYC power women who I’m sure are looking for love and companionship in all the wrong places.

And the only Comedy I’m even remotely interested in stars one of my TV Crush’s JOEL MCHALE (The Soup on E! – So Meaty) and it’s called The IT Crowd. Granted, I was into it by title alone because I used to love that movie The IN Crowd and for a minute I thought maybe it was a show based on that movie. But, then I realized that Joel McHale’s in it and whatever he’s doing, I’m all about it.

I’m semi-interested in BIONIC WOMAN because well, let’s face it… it’s the BIONIC WOMAN and I had her lunchbox as a kid.
