"This week has been Upfronts week in the US - for those of you who don&amp;#039;t speak telly-talk, that&amp;#039;s the period when the big networks unveil their schedules for the fall and midseason. Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS and The CW have all revealed their new shows, but which have caught our eye? This week&amp;#039;s Friday Fiver lists our picks for the most intriguing new series coming our way in late 2012 and early 2013. Take a look at our list below and let us know if you share our excitement... Last Resort - ABC, debuts fall 2012 After producing short-lived but critically acclaimed series Terriers and The Chicago Code, The Shield creator Shawn Ryan returns to television with a new show boasting a top-flight cast - Max Adler (Glee), Robert Patrick (The X-Files), Andre Braugher (Homicide: Life on the Street) and Dichen Lachman (Dollhouse) all star in this tale of a nuclear submarine that goes rogue after refusing to fire its on-board missiles... Judging from early footage, there&amp;#039;s a danger that Last Resort could be swallowed up by its own bluster - the cheese factor is quite high - but we trust in Ryan and his crew. Here&amp;#039;s hoping for a series that combines the best parts of Lost and The Hunt for Red October into something new and special.      The Following - Fox, debuts early 2013 The pedigree of this new thriller is incredibly strong; it&amp;#039;s been devised by Kevin Williamson - the man behind the Scream films and hit CW drama The Vampire Diaries - and stars award-winning actor Kevin Bacon in the lead role. Bacon plays Ryan Hardy, a retired FBI agent who returns to active duty when his serial killer nemesis - portrayed by Brit star James Purefoy - reappears on the scene. The Following has a strong supporting cast - Maggie Grace (Lost), Natalie Zea (Justified), Shawn Ashmore (X-Men) - and we&amp;#039;ve definitely been impressed with what we&amp;#039;ve seen of the show so far!      Go On - NBC, debuts fall 2012 He&amp;#039;s back! Following two noble but failed attempts to launch a post-Friends TV hit with Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and Mr Sunshine, Matthew Perry has returned to the network that made his name for new comedy Go On - the man formerly known as Chandler is now Ryan, a cocky sports broadcaster who loses his wife but finds new meaning in life when he bonds with the other members of his support group... We&amp;#039;re hoping it&amp;#039;s third time lucky for Perry - his deadpan delivery never fails to raise a smile and we&amp;#039;re going to go out on a limb and say that the early clips from Go On look promising...      Arrow - The CW, debuts falls 2012 What&amp;#039;s so intriguing about this new take on the DC superhero is that so far we know barely anything about it. The trailer, as compelling as it is, doesn&amp;#039;t show Stephen Amell taking down any bad guys - just tennis balls. In fact he doesn&amp;#039;t even don that iconic green outfit for a brooding establishing shot above Starling City. What a con.  Nevertheless, we&amp;#039;re sure that Amell can convince as billionaire playboy Oliver Queen and his vigilante alter-ego, born out of spending five years alone in the wilderness after a vicious shipwreck. I mean he looks the part, if you know what we mean. Could Arrow be the new Smallville?      Elementary - CBS, debuts fall 2012 Right, let&amp;#039;s get this clear... we probably won&amp;#039;t be watching modern-day Sherlock Holmes series Elementary after its premiere. It doesn&amp;#039;t look God awful (which in itself is a triumph given how much they&amp;#039;ve screwed with Arthur Conan Doyle&amp;#039;s original concept), but it seems to be a pretty standard detective series that won&amp;#039;t have anything original enough to get us hooked.  But holy heck, we are so looking forward to the premiere. Maybe it&amp;#039;s because we&amp;#039;re curious about how well Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu will do as Holmes and Watson. Maybe it&amp;#039;s because we want ammo when we moan about how CBS have mutilated the story. Maybe it&amp;#039;s because we want to go running to Steven Moffat about how much it&amp;#039;s ripped off Sherlock. What we do know for sure is that while Elementary may probably be the most infuriating new show in a particularly insane schedule, it&amp;#039;s also the one that&amp;#039;s got everyone talking.      Which shows are you most looking forward to? Share your own picks below! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
