+The new season has at last begun, and eager students are buckling down all over campus, absorbing new materials, debating new ideas, and anticipating developments to come.
+
+I’m referring, of course, to the new television season.
+
+I’ve only caught one [new](http://www.upn.com/shows/haunted "Haunted") series thus far this season, and don’t yet have anything worthwhile to say about it. I’m intrigued, however, by the fact that two otherwise very dissimilar [returning](http://www.hbo.com/sopranos "The Sopranos") [series](http://www.buffy.com "Buffy the Vampire Slayer") focus in their early episodes on back-to-school anxieties. Of course, there’s a difference between being depressed and directionless and being a sitting duck for whatever’s coming out of the hellmouth next, but nonetheless: school is apparently, this year, a scary place.
+
+So what new shows are *you* watching?
