As the leaves change colors and the days get cooler, some people love taking advantage of the beautiful environment to participate in outdoor activities, like hiking, kayaking, or going to parks. For some of us, however, fall means something else entirely: the return of most TV series.

From competition shows such as Survivor and Dancing with the Stars, to medical dramas such as Code Black, to superhero shows such as Supergirl, there truly is a show for everyone out there.

One extremely popular TV show which has already returned is family drama This is Us. Focusing on a family with adult triplets, the show operates in both the present day and through flashbacks to increase the drama of the characters. Airing on NBC on Tuesdays at 9 p.m., the show is a great watch for anyone who loves heartwarming relationships between family.

For those interested in crime TV shows, The Blacklist is a strong choice. The drama, entering its fifth season on NBC, continues to grow in its mystery and features new, interesting case selections. It premiered Sept. 7, at 8 p.m.

In terms of medical shows, veteran Grey’s Anatomy returns for its 14th season. Despite the departure of several cast members, it continues to add new, interesting characters resulting in intricate drama and medical cases. Check out this established favorite on ABC.

Lastly, everyone loves a good competition show, and The Voice is just that. Boasting a judging panel of Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Miley Cyrus, and newcomer Jennifer Hudson, the show features singers and artists of every genre, including rock, country, and pop. The Voice premiered on Sept. 25, and will continue to air on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m.

So, whatever your fancy is, there definitely is a show for you airing this season.
