This week many of the networks have announced their new Fall schedules so now we know which of our favorite shows are coming back, which aren’t and what new ones are coming along to tray to capture our interest. ABC has several new shows coming out next Fall and we’ve got some previews for those new shows for you today.

First off is Body of Proof which features Dana Delany as a neurosurgeon-turned-medical examiner whose expertise helps solve murder cases. It also features Jery Ryan, who you might remember from Star Trek: Voyager. Next up is Off the Map, the new medical drama from Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes which features Caroline Dhavernas as the idealistic Dr. Lily Brenner working at an understaffed medical clinic in the South American jungle that needs to treat patients with whatever they have at hand.

Our next preview is for the new Matthew Perry comedy Mr. Sunshine which centers on Perry’s character Ben Donovan, the self-involved manager of a second-rate San Diego sports arena, who begins to re-evaluate his life on his 40th birthday. Finally, we’ve got a preview of the new cop drama Detroit 1-8-7. It stars Michael Imperioli and is described as a fictional documentary that follows Detroit homicide police.

So, a new comedy, a new cop show and a new medical show. Somehow, these all seem vaguely familiar. Curious. Check out all the previews after the jump. Look for these new shows debut later this year or, in the case of Mr. Sunshine, at midseason.

We’ve been following NBC’s freshmen drama Mercy a bit here at the site and so far, it seems to be doing pretty well and has not been canceled — at least so far. With an interesting premise and a cast that includes relative newcomer Taylor Shilling and Buffy alum Michelle Trachtenberg, the show continues to be one of the surprises of the season and will hopefully last until season two.

In contrast to Mercy, Law & Order: SVU is not a freshmen show and is still going strong after several seasons. Both shows returned to the air this week after the holiday break. In case you missed the premiere of these shows, or even if you saw them and still want to relive the magic, we’ve got lots of video for you today — courtesy of our pals at NBC.

In addition to the recaps, we’ve also got previews of upcoming episodes of both shows featuring guest appearances by The Soprano‘s Michael Imperioli, Lost‘s Naveen Andrews and Studio 60‘s Sarah Paulson.

Check out all the clips and interviews from both shows after the break.
