Predicting what fall television series will succeed or fail isn't only the province of cranky TV critics and industry types who fan the flames (or death knell) of pilots that are lucky enough to earn a series commitment from a network.

Gamblers and sites that cater to them jump on this schadenfreude train too.

The new fall TV line-up is nigh.

Fans of Chuck, Community, Parenthood, Fringe, The Office, Gossip Girls, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother eagerly anticipate their all return from their long summer hiatuses.

And network newcomers like The Event, Hellcats, Chase, Outlaw, Outsourced, $#*! My Dad Says, and Hawaii Five-O all debuting this fall, fans are sure to be in for a variety of viewing.
