Dinosaurs are far from the only big thing about Fox's Terra Nova.

With one of the most expensive TV pilots ever (roughly $15 million), Steven Spielberg as an executive producer, location shooting in Australia and state-of-the-art special effects so complex that they delayed production, the prehistoric drama is one of the most anticipated new shows of the fall season, with a two-hour premiere Monday (8 p.m. ET/PT).

Heroes: Justice League of America (New Earth)

We exist... to maintain international peace. And to that end: to take measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression... whether they be terrestrial in origin or otherwise. We exist... to foster the principles of equal rights and self-determination of all peoples -- and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace to the best of our abilities. We exist... because those with the power to stop injustice simply must. We are the Justice League of America.
