(CBS) Last week we plowed through most of the new shows hitting television. This week there are three, starting with the two-hour “Terra Nova” premiere on Fox.

If you haven’t seen the gargantuan trailers floating around the Interwebs, the show stars “Avatar” bad guy Stephen Lang and Jim O’Mara. One of the many executive producers is Steven Spielberg, which makes sense because this is a dinosaur-heavy tale.

Short version: In 2149, Earth is less and less inhabitable. Via time travel, humans are being transported back 85 million years to an unspoiled planet. Expect special effects and…dinosaurs.

Other shows debuting this week are “Hart of Dixie” on Monday, starring Rachel Bilson as a yankee doctor who takes a job south of the Mason-Dixon; “Suburgatory,” a single-camera comedy starring Jeremy Sisto and airing on Wednesday; and “How to be a Gentleman,” starring David Hornsby and the erstwhile Johnny Drama, Kevin Dillon.

On the big screen, the heavily-promoted and thus far well received “50/50,” starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a young man with cancer, Seth Rogen as his best friend and Anna Kendrick as an illness counselor, opens Friday.

Also opening is “Margaret,” starring Anna Paquin as a high school student who witnesses a fatal traffic accident and feels responsible for causing it. And for the one Josh Hartnett fan still out there, you can catch the action flick “Bunraku,” which also stars Woody Harrelson and Demi Moore.

The 14 studio albums made by Pink Floyd have been remastered as part of a campaign called “Why Pink Floyd?” Everything kicks off Tuesday, Sept. 27. In addition to the “Discovery” series (basically the albums remastered and available on CD), “The Dark Side of the Moon” comes in a six-disc “Immersion” box set and two-disc “Experience” version. The lunatic is in the hall, indeed! More box set releases will arrive in 2012.

Also coming Tuesday are hotly anticipated albums from Wilco (“The Whole Love”), Blink 182 (“Neighborhoods”), Mastodon’s “Hunter” and a two disc version of Nirvana’s “Nevermind.”
