cool list!

Alphas - interesting premise with truly flawed characters as protagonists. I hope SciFi doesn't screw it up like NBC did with Heroes.
Grimm - another interesting show that's tweaking old fairy tales. Its growing on me and I hope NBC gives it a boost.
Suburgatory - I like it. Yeah, the characters are straight out of central casting, but I like the characters' interplay (except Dalia, who needs a push under a Metro North train).
New Girl, Whitney, Once Upon a Time and Person of Interest on on my DVR (which keeps dropping or forgetting episodes!)
