The concept of "fall TV" used to be a hallmark of television -- a time when the networks would roll of their newest, most exciting shows. But now, it hardly exists, except for the broadcast networks. And this year, hardly anything is landing...unless it's a reboot or revival.

The long-awaited CBS All Access show Star Trek: Discovery premiered on the broadcast network on Sunday night. Almost 10 million people watched, but if they want to watch more episodes, they'll have to subscribe to CBS's streaming service.

In the age of blockbuster television, every network wants the next Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead. Amazon is no different, and CEO Jeff Bezos has said as much.

A new broadcast TV season is upon us, and among the new shows are also some familiar titles. NBC's Will & Grace is coming back this fall, and ABC's Roseanne will return in 2018. Some fans are thrilled, but other viewers ask why rely on older properties? And will younger viewers, who weren't even alive when the shows first debuted tune in to watch them now?

As the battle between networks for TV talent heats up, the prolific showrunner Shonda Rhimes is jumping ship at ABC and making her way to Netflix -- and she's not alone. Fellow prodigious broadcast showrunner Chuck Lorre also announced a huge deal with the streaming giant.

There are a couple of other caveats too. To have access to a FX+, the new, ad-free premium service from FX, you must be a subscriber to Comcast cable. The move is likely FX looking towards a standalone future. 

A new deal highlights an ongoing trend in cable TV: consolidation is the name of the game. Discovery will buy the Scripps Network for almost $12 billion. Scripps is the parent company of HGTV and the Food Network.
