I would have thought being held hostage would be boring. Insanely stressful, but mostly sitting around and watching some bad guy pace and freak out while you hope that the phone rings. Apparently, I was wrong. "Hostages," which will be airing on CBS Mondays this fall at 10:00 p.m., promises that it is a "high octane suspense drama." So, no boredom. Or at least they don't film the boring part. 

See James Cromwell and Stuart Townsend in the first trailer for 'Betrayal'

The ABC drama adds twists and turns to infidelity

At first, this trailer for "Betrayal" looks like a bad Lifetime movie. It isn't until close to the end when the schmaltzy affair between photographer Sara (Hannah Ware) and attorney Jack (Stuart Townsend) takes an unexpected twist.

The first season is set to take place in one night in a single location

This sounds claustrophobic, and the trailer is perhaps too barf-centric, but the writers of "The Hangover" might deliver on this idea: One bar. One night. Ten single people. And that's it for the entire season for this midseason ABC show. Oh, and Ryan Seacrest is an executive producer. 

Watch the first trailer from ABC's mysterious 'Resurrection'

Dead people come back to life after decades

The drama "Resurrection" won't be coming to ABC until midseason, probably after another one-hour has expired, but this show suggests people (if not shows) can come back to life. Think "Ghost Whisperer," but with undead dead people. But not zombies. Just watch the clip. 

'So You Think You Can Dance' recap: The talent's hot in Hollywood

"So You Think You Can Dance" returns for a tenth season, and aren't you glad? Apparently producer and judge Nigel Lythgoe is still stumping for a separate results episode each week, but for now I'm just happy to see some really great dancing back on television. Yes, thanks to Zendaya and Kellie Pickler we've definitely gotten some of that on "Dancing with the Stars," but "So You Think You Can Dance" raises the bar to a completely different level. Even better, that bar seems to be extraordinarily high this year. Judging from these Hollywood auditions, this might be a season in which anyone could be deserving of the win -- yes, that makes it harder for us to decide for whom to vote, but it should be a lot of fun to watch.

Watch the first trailer from ABC's sports sitcom 'Back in the Game'

"Back in the Game" comes to ABC Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. this fall, and is probably most notable for featuring James Caan in his most grizzled form. But really, the story is about Terry Gannon Jr. (Maggie Lawson). She  was an All Star softball player until life threw her a few curve balls -- a baby, a lost college scholarship and a loser for a husband.

Watch the first trailer of ABC's 'Killer Women' and its 'badass' lead

ABC has a Texas Ranger procedural on the docket for midseason, "Killer Women." As this feisty trailer suggests, Molly Parker (Tricia Helfer) is committed to finding the truth and seeing justice served, but she's not afraid to break the rules. Or play tough. Or act like the boys, though some of the boys don't respect her. Sigh. The show is also produced by Sofia Vergara ("Modern Family").

If you're watching the NatGeo show "Polygamy, USA" (Tues. at 9:00 p.m.), you may have mixed feelings about what you're seeing as the show follows a community of fundamentalist Mormons practicing the unconventional lifestyle. The network recently conducted a survey to determine how people really feel about polygamy. The answer is, simply put, not that great. 

The first trailer for 'Welcome to the Family' promises babies, hijinks

In the first trailer for "Welcome to the Family," we get a lot of information. Whether or not it's funny, well, you be the judge.

"Will & Grace" star Sean Hayes has a new sitcom, this time playing a gay divorced dad with a pushy mom (Linda Lavin) and a typical teenage girl (Sam Isler). Instead of the usual mom-trying-to-juggle storyline, it's Sean who struggles to find work-home balance in this first trailer for the show.
