The 4th quarter of 2008 has seen the beginning of some new seasons for US TV Shows, namely House, Numb3rs and Heroes, all of which ended the previous season quite early due to problems following the Writers Guild strike.

House was the first show to come out following the flopped 916

Following Amber’s death at the end of Season 4, Wilson resigns from the hospital and ends his friendship with House. House, in true House fashion, retorts by hiring a private investigator to spy on Wilson. Cuddy still hasn’t put out though, but will she put out for someone else instead of House?

The opening credits still don’t include the new team and still feature the old team despite Omar Eppes being the only regular old team member that has alot of screen time followed by Jesse Spencer.

Next up is Heroes, opening the season with a 3-hour special. But of course the first hour was just a clip-show with some interviews and stuff, but hey, two new episodes in a row is quite a start.

The new season picks up from the time Nathan got shot, revealing the true identity of the shooter who shot Nathan. Nathan survives, but at what cost? The season is also the beginning of a new chapter “Villains”, and as promised by the producers, there are some mean kick-ass villains on the loose.

But wait

Sylar is working for the Company?

Its going to be interesting to see how much more entangled the story gets, with Mohinder finding the true source of the genetic mutation in the “heroes” and gaining some powers himself. The story of Niki Sanders is also beginning to unfold into a deeper plot.

And finally we have the recently premiered season of Numb3rs

This season Sophina Brown joins the cast as junior agent Nikki Betancourt, filling in the gap left by Diane Farr. Charlie has lost his security clearance following the season 4 finale in which he sent dubious research information to Pakistan, and now can’t work for the FBI. So in turn, FBI seeks help from Larry and Amita. How will this go? Well, you just have to watch now dont you? ;)
