Fall is right around the corner, and with so many new shows coming out and a ton returning, it's probably hard to keep your schedule organized. From dramas to sitcoms to reality TV, it's almost too much to handle, but you won't want to miss a trick this upcoming season because there are some very promising plots. If you're looking for a good laugh, you could always stick to your usual comedy classics like "Modern Family" or "The Big Bang Theory," or maybe something a little fresher like "Fresh Off The Boat," but if you're looking for something brand-spanking new to get you cracking up, you've come to the right place. With these six comedies premiering this fall, it'll be hard to choose just one, but hopefully with the help of DVR and maybe a little binge watching, you won't have to choose. From John Stamos, to Rob Lowe, to Miss Piggy and a ton of newcomers, these comedies have everything you could ever need. Here's why...
"Life in Pieces"
Who: Dianne Wiest, James Brolin, Zoe Lister-Jones, Colin Hanks, Angelique Cabral, Thomas Sadoski, Betsy Brandt, Dan Bakkedahl
What: The life of a family as told from each characters point of view based on their own versions of different events.
When & Where: Sept. 21 on CBS
Why: They're one big happy family dealing with the beautiful, yet awkward, major milestone moments in their lives, and you'll cringe in the best way possible as you compare their uncomfortable and hilarious scenarios to your own crazy family. "We're going to try to tell the stories as independently as possible," producer Justin Adler said, according to TheWrap. "But what we're able to do is make connections, little subtle connections, that we hope are going to be fun to pick up."
"The Muppets"
Who: Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and all your favorite Muppets.
What: The day-to-day duties and personal lives of the Muppet characters while they help produce Miss Piggy's late night talk-show show "Up Late With Miss Piggy."
When & Where: Sept. 22 on ABC
Why: this show
"Grandfathered"
Who: John Stamos, Josh Peck, Paget Brewster, Christiana Millian, Kelly Jenrette, Ravi Patel
What: The life of a recently divorced bachelor (John Stamos) who just discovered he has a son (Josh Peck)...and a granddaughter.
When & Where: Sept. 29 on FOX
Why: Isn't John Stamos enough of a reason to turn on your TV?
"The Grinder"
Who: Rob Lowe, Fred Savage, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, William Devane, Natalie Morales
What: Follows an actor (Rob Lowe) who returns to his hometown after his TV series, which he played a lawyer on, gets cancelled. With a family full of actual lawyers, he believes he's qualified enough to join the family law firm.
When & Where: Sept. 29 on FOX
Why: Rob Lowe proves once again that he's one of the greatest actors, and Fred Savage comes in a close second for this production. The two make a great team of brothers as Lowe's character tries his hardest to prove his family wrong. "Fred was the first person to bring his own energy to the character that could stand up to Rob," executive producer Andrew Mogel said, according to Hollywood Life. "That's what we were having a hard time finding. A lot of people were getting trampled by him, and Fred had his own thing going."
"Crazy Ex-Girlfriend"
Who: Rachel Bloom, Santino Fontana, Donna Lynne Champlin, Vincent Rodriguez III, Vella Lovell, Pete Gardner
What: It follows a single woman (Rachel Bloom) as she moves away from New York City, and her ex-boyfriend and soulmate, to start a new search for love in California.
When & Where: Oct. 12 on The CW
Why: The series was originally picked up by Showtime, but dropped shortly after, and CW plans on giving it all they've got to make sure it's done right. "Showtime felt it wasn't right for them, but we think we're the right place, particularly if you push it to the comedic hour world," CW president Mark Pedowitz told Variety. "Rachel Bloom is a breakout. The last time I felt like this was last year with Gina [Rodriguez from 'Jane The Virgin']. We're going to take chances."
"Truth Be Told"
Who: Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Tone Bell, Bresha Webb, Vanessa Lachey
What: A show revolving around two diverse couples and their observations of everything they encounter in their lives, from sex to race.
When & Where: Oct. 16 on NBC
Why: It will tackle "everyday issues" that diverse relationships have to go through. "Our show isn't about race," producer Will Packer told Deadline. "But it's the lens where we look through different things. We're not being politically correct. The way the show is being crafted, it leans into what people are really talking about." With the star of the show being white and married to a Korean woman, with close African-American friends, you'll see their life from a few different, and often hilarious, perspectives.
