I'm busy putting together my Big Fall TV Preview package, which will take up most of the A&E section this Sunday, Sept. 5. It will include mini-reviews (ranked with stars) of all the new fall network shows, plus a list of premiere and season premiere dates and a handy dandy schedule grid. (Clip 'n' save!)

All that's a way of saying we'll skip our regular Thursday TV chat this week (Sept. 2) to let me get all this work done and give you time to prep the pork steaks for the Labor Day holiday. We'll be back to chat at 1 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 9, when our main topic will be the start of the network season. See you then.
