Last month, each of the broadcast networks unveiled their fall and midseason lineups at their annual upfront presentations for advertisers and media. While a bunch of the new shows look like they could be dead on arrival, and none totally blew us away, there were a handful of programs that we're definitely already excited about. Click through this slideshow to see our early picks for what might be worth watching this fall and next winter/spring.

10. "Nikita" (The CW): The CW is launching only two new shows this fall, with this one looking like it could be the most addictive. With a bit of an "Alias" vibe about it, this series, based on the cult action film "La Femme Nikita," features a sexy Maggie Q set on revenge against the government. 

9. "Perfect Couples" (NBC): There are a lot of relationship comedies heading to the airwaves in the near future, but the one that looked like it could actually be funny was this midseason sitcom. It's about several couples, in various stages of their love lives, who are all way too involved in each other's business. It's not totally original, but it has some good one-liners and an appealing cast. 

8. "Body of Proof" (ABC): We're probably sicker of crime-scene investigation shows than anyone, but Dana Delany's morgue-based medical examiner might change our minds. She made "Desperate Housewives" almost watchable again, so think of what she could do as the star of a show in which she gets to play a rogue former surgeon with personal issues.

7. "The Cape" (NBC): The promo shot of a guy with a cape looked very cheesy, but the actual teaser we saw for this midseason superhero drama had us smiling like little geeks. Former "ER" star David Lyons is a cop who gets framed, fakes his death, and turns into a superhero to fight off bad guys who also look like they're out of a comic book.

6. "Blue Bloods" (CBS): It isn't the grittiest NYC crime drama we've ever seen, but this fall show has a strong cast headed up by chief of police Tom Selleck, whose children are all involved in the crime-fighting field: Donnie Wahlberg is a detective with no objection to torturing people, Bridget Moynahan is a tough assistant DA, and Will Estes is a recent law school grad who just joined the force. 

5. "Lonestar" (Fox): It's going to be hard to fill the "24" timeslot, but it seems that Fox really wants this fall drama to succeed, giving it the plum spot after "House." This show may lack corrupt world leaders and insidious terrorists, but it does offer up con artists, solid acting, and an intriguing premise. It's not exactly an even trade, but we'll take it.

4. "Off the Map" (ABC): As far as sure bets go, a Shonda Rhimes medical show tops the list. She's really got a knack for coming up with crazy patients of the week and creating romantically challenged characters, so if you like what she does, you'll want to tune in for more of the same in a brand-new tropical setting.

3. "Terra Nova" (Fox): We're taking a bit of a leap of faith on this midseason show, because not a single piece of footage has been shot yet. However, Steven Spielberg and dinosaurs seem like a winning combination, and the concept designs we saw were pretty impressive. We're hoping that the big-budget effects meet our expectations, and that the somewhat confusing time-travel plot actually makes sense once it all comes together. 

2. "Undercovers" (NBC): A show about married spies that is produced by J.J. Abrams? We're already sold. Although we are admittedly a little bit skeptical about the standalone nature of this show (since we do love our overly complicated mythologies), the action-packed teaser we saw mixed humor, sexiness, and drama expertly together, along with top-notch production values. 

1. "No Ordinary Family" (ABC): Hands down, this was the most exciting promo we saw throughout upfront week. This new show from the alphabet net might not be the next "Lost," but it is easily the new "Heroes." It looks like it combines the fun of "The Incredibles" with the realistic atmosphere of "Unbreakable," seamlessly blending the superpower elements with relatable family drama. Can't wait.
