For some of the new shows, you’ve been excited since casting announcements first came down (ahem, The Grinder). For others, you just saw a poster on the side of a bus and actually said, “Huh?” loudly enough that others heard you (and were probably thinking it to). Well, the time is neigh. All those new fall TV shows are here. You can stop counting down the days and start setting the DVR. But which ones are worth watching, which ones should you skip, and which ones should you save for a snow day (because they’re coming, whether we like it or not)? We’ve put in the hours of watching pilots on your behalf and came up with a quick and easy ranking system.

Now: These are the best, buzziest shows that you should season pass and watch the night-of.
Later: We recommend watching these… eventually. After you’ve watched all the “Now” shows.
Never: Sorry, but not all shows are must-see!

Here, we break down the second week of new fall shows with premiere info and our brutally honest snap judgments. And we don’t always all agree, but with several takes — from Yahoo TV’s Kristen Baldwin, Ken Tucker, Mandi Bierly, Breanne L. Heldman, Dave Nemetz, and Ethan Alter — hopefully it’ll make deciding what to watch that much easier.

BLOOD & OIL
Premieres Sunday, Sept. 27, at 9 p.m. on ABC

Baldwin: Later. Oh, who am I kidding? It’s never.
I love a good Dynasty manqué, and I really wanted to like this throwback soap, but everything about it — the tycoon with the ne'er-do-well son, the upstart looking to make it big — felt rehashed and uninspired. And Chace Crawford, bless his heart, isn’t a compelling enough lead to elevate such mundane material. (If Don Johnson was the lead, however…)

Tucker: Later
This slick soap opera about an oil baron (Don Johnson) and a young upstart (Chace Crawford) seems as though it’s straining for mythic Dallas status. Maybe wait a couple of weeks to see if America gets hooked before you commit to this saga, since the quality and the hook-ability seem uncertain from the pilot.

Bierly: Later
It’s not Dallas, but my favorite dynamic in the pilot — which I hope continues in the series — is the J.R. type (Johnson) getting screwed over by a young buck (Crawford) and still respecting him for it.

Heldman: Later
Aside from all the obvious Dallas comparisons this is sure to bring, this soapy primetime soap screams, “We want that Revenge audience! You know, all those people who watched Season 1 when it was awesome!” The jury’s still out on this one for me, but it certainly gets bonus points for casting Greek alum Scott Michael Foster (notice, I didn’t say Chace Crawford).
