The ultimate guide to the Fall HDTV schedule

by Ben Drawbaugh, posted Sep 16th 2008 at 6:59PM

This is the best time of year for HD fans, not only are there more HD sports than anyone can possibly watch, but the new fall lineup of shows from the networks are already slowing starting to trickle out. The slow trickle is about to become a full blown blast in the next week or two though, and if you're like us you are using the modern marvel called a digital video recorder to hunt for the next Heroes or Lost. Now even those lucky enough to have a big ol' 1TB disk in their DVR, you will still have to do some leg work to see what's new. Maybe you'll go through who knows how many web pages, or use your TiVo's great guide search; but now thanks to our friend Brent Evans from Geek Tonic, there's a better way. He has done the leg work for us by comprising a very comprehensive chronological list of new shows -- including which are in HD of course -- which makes it super easy to record every new show under the sun in the search for the one new show that might actually earn some precious space or time.

"Buyer" beware, a lot of those dates and times are wrong.

For example, Survivor premieres next Thursday, not this Thursday.

There are other incorrect entries.

The PDF guide has the correct Survivor date - 9/25. Was it incorrect somewhere else?

How can those listings be considered the best time of the year? Half of them will be aired during Monday Night Football. I'll never see them until they're re-runs, maybe....

One of my favorite shows - It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia - starts up again tomorrow and it's listed as airing in HD. Is this true? I'm lucky to have FX HD as a FIOS customer, so if it is true, I'll be very happy, but I always thought the show was just SD. If it is in HD, I'm guessing this is the first season they're doing this?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia was definitely not HD, despite the listing. I was vrey disappointed.
