They're Back... Almost.

September is when the gloves come off. New seasons of scripted television programs are unleashed, and it's metaphorical fisticuffs as networks compete for ratings supremacy.

A number of programs will have to deal with the storyline fallout of fantastic(al) season endings. After some rather spiffy WTF finale moments, here's hoping writers can put the pieces back together in new and unusual, but relatively believable, ways.

A Dozen Questions Sure To Be Answered

Will Supernatural suck?

The cult show is kickstarting season six without creator Eric Kripke at the helm. Let's be honest, nobody wants to live through the horror of Buffy The Vampire Slayer, season seven, ever again. I guess as long as they don't import annoying teens to act out subpar scripting, we're golden, right?

Will we see Sheldon play rock paper, scissors, lizard, SPOCK again?

My inner dork (okay, outer dork too) misses that weekly dose of The Big Bang Theory.

Will the crew on Castle keep arresting everyone?

Has anyone else noticed Beckett's penchant for charging people? It borders on Poirot-like. To be fair, the moustached Inspector merely pointed out how how each suspect may have perpetrated the crime. Beckett just arrests them all.

Will Parenthood play favourites?

I hope they continue to share the storylines relatively evenly among the many characters in this heartfelt family drama.

Will Dan and Rufus be the only annoying Humphrey's on Gossip Girl this season?

Sure, Jenny Humphrey is a pariah among Gossip Girl fans, but I'm going to miss actress Taylor Momsen's gothy makeup and sulky onscreen saunter. She made me nostalgic for Shannon Doherty's final months on Beverley Hills 90210, back in the day.

Will anyone out there keep watching 90210's re-incarnation?

The new 90210 is hard to type about because, frankly, NOONE CARES.

Will Jules and Grayson work as a couple?

Is it really a good idea to date inside your own cul de sac? Isn't that worse than an office romance? I know everyone's horrified by my Cougar Town love, but it gives me fond Friends memories, and it's fun.

Will Jeremy turn?

I need to know whether Elena's little brother on The Vampire Diaries is a bloodsucker now. The suspense is killing me. (And maybe him). This show kicked butt with a spectacular doppelganger moment at the end of the debut season. Bring it on, Katherine!

Will Brennan and Booth get it together?

Over on Bones, the convoluted not-couple continue along on their not-so-merry way. Sometimes relationships really are this complicated. Kudos to the writing team.

Will the disembodied voice ever stop talking?

The premise of How I Met Your Mother, with that voice rambling on about how the guy met the kids' mother, is exponentially annoying. Dad's been telling the story for years now. Seriously, does his progeny reall-y need to hear about all the times he got laid before hooking up with mum??

Will The Good Wife get naughty?

Alecia Florrick- will she, won't she? (I hope someone noticed the Will pun there, btw. Will she run off with Will? Will she?) A lot of people love the character Klorinda, but I've got a soft spot for Cary, in all his transparently ambitious glory.

Will Mr Schuester & co. sing 'where do we go from here'?

I'm going to leave on a high note... yes, here's looking at you, Glee. A lot of lead story arcs were closed last season. How about a Buffy The Musical episode, with Joss Whedon directing? Worlds colliding.
