Fall is traditionally the time of year for new TV shows, but this year, many new shows are premiering in early 2015. Variety's Brian Lowry joins Take Two to talk about what shows are looking promising and why more networks than ever are trying to get into the scripted drama game.

Back in the day, fall used to be the big season for new television. But recently the start of the year has also become fertile ground for show premieres, and 2015 is certainly no exception.

TV networks are promoting their new programs heavily this week here in Southern California at the Television Critics Association press tour, also known as the TCAs.

Brian Lowry, TV critic and columnist for Variety, joins Take Two to talk about some of his top picks for the most promising new shows this year, some of which have already premiered. In no particular order:

Battle Creek (CBS)

Galavant (ABC)

Hindsight (VH1)

TV Shows - Full Episode Video - Reality TV Shows

Man Seeking Woman (FXX)
