You have man­aged to main­tain your cul­tur­al im­port­ance, or some semb­lance of it, even as oth­er tele­vi­sion sea­sons — winter sea­son, spring sea­son, sum­mer sea­son and all the little cable sea­sons pro­lif­er­at­ing in between — have chal­lenged your primacy. Still, there is noth­ing like a slot in the start­ing fall lineup to say that you have reached the TV Big Time. For a week, at least. So con­grat­u­la­tions, new fall series! This is your hour to shine — more, if you’re lucky.
