The 5 Best New Dramas of Fall TV

As far as shows based on kids who live in the youth wing of a teaching hospital go, Red Band Society is certainly one of the most amusing. Octavia Spencer stars in the series about a group of unlikely friends who come together under the care of nurses and one sexy doctor (Dave Annable). It's inspired by a true story, and though we've seen our share of hospital dramas, this one feels really original for primetime. The kids are all unique, and even the one in the coma is entertaining in his own way — he narrates the show so you get to hear what he thinks.

When it starts: Wednesday, Sept. 17, at 9 p.m. on Fox
