Three series are closing shop forever: ION's "Flashpoint" (which aired for a few years on CBS) Tuesday, ABC's "Private Practice" Tuesday and ABC's "Last Resort" Thursday.

And one highly anticipated series arrives: Fox's "The Following" starring Kevin Bacon Monday night. He plays a retired FBI agent drawn back into a case when a serial killer he caught gets out of prison again. Apparently, this serial killer has spawned a cult of other serial killers. Bacon shot the pilot here in Atlanta last year.

Otherwise, "Project Runway" comes back for an 11th season on Lifetime Thursday and ABC launches its first new reality show of the season called "The Taste," which includes Anthony Bourdain as a judge.
