Marry Me's Annie and The Mindy Project's leading lady are cut from the same cloth, and much like Mindy has just done, Annie just snagged her guy (but in both situations, we wonder how well that will work out for them). Plus they have the same snappy, pop-culture-infused humor.

OK, there's the obvious connection, and you don't want to miss any crossover when Arrow and The Flash characters stop by each other's shows (Stephen Amell stops by The Flash's pilot, in fact). But you also should give this a shot if you like what The CW has done with its superhero series — the first episode of The Flash is just as promising as Arrow was.

Yes, the Batman cartoon is a very nostalgic choice, but any kid of the '90s who loved this show will be more into Gotham than your usual Batman-film fans, because Fox's new live-action series revisits that giant store of the comic-book characters that only the previous TV series had time for.

So maybe no one's dying on Glee, but both of these shows have a Breakfast Club-style mix of teenagers and their drama. And the requisite bitchy cheerleader!

And not just because of Cristin Milioti. OK, it's partly because of Cristin Milioti, whom we always wished we'd had more time with on HIMYM, and this is finally a whole show that revolves around her character — whose relationship with Mad Men's Ben Feldman is chronicled in the series. See? Told you it wasn't just about Cristin Milioti.

Soap-opera drama and supersexy guys to look at? Jane the Virgin is a natural pairing for Hart of Dixie, which manages to be endearing despite its sillier situations — like this show.

The woman in power at the heart of the show — Téa Leoni is a woman who unexpectedly becomes secretary of state — will remind you of CBS's other strong female lead.

A child mysteriously drowns, throwing a community into paranoia and upheaval. Lots of shows have followed this formula, but Gracepoint looks to be on the same level of quality as the excellent Top of the Lake miniseries.

Carrie Matheson isn't the only woman in the political background whose life is an absolute mess — she'd get along nicely with Katherine Heigl's character, a fellow CIA officer who's also targeting terrorists.

Shonda Rhimes's latest drama has a bloody twist — but more of Rhimes's trademark soapiness — so if you live and die by Scandal, then it's logical that you'd like this, too.

Obvious, sure, but this is pretty much guaranteed.

Not everyone is into the traditional multicamera format that CBS loves to use, but if you are, then family-focused sitcom The McCarthys is right up your alley.

While Castle has the one-two punch of a detective/author duo, The Mysteries of Laura focuses on one woman. However, both shows feature case-cracking and comedy at home, not to mention the romantic aspect between exes Laura (Debra Messing) and Jake (Josh Lucas).
