The 2011-12 television season is now well on its way. The first few dead shows walking  are gone (so long, The Playboy Club!), some slightly promising starts have quickly turned dreadful (nice to know ya, Terra Nova!) and, with baseball out of the way, people are finally getting used to the new schedule and picking their favorites. For us, at least, these five have quickly earned themselves season passes on our TiVo. Still, your mileage may vary—seems we're quite fond of strong female leads. Let us know what your favorite new shows are in the comments!
