A new fall season means a whole new TV schedule for Wednesday's. Grab some snacks, the remote and let's start watching. The new kid on the Wednesday-night block is Simon Cowell's singing competition The X Factor, which lands in the U.S. for the first time and will face competition from a long-running reality show, a beloved Emmy-winning comedy, and a spooky thriller from the creator of Glee. Wednesday is a night to never ever go out.
