Person of Interest has some high-profile buzz going for it with the involvement of J.J. Abrams and Jonathan Nolan, but may end up overshadowed by another of Abrams' high-profile projects, FOX's Alcatraz.

CBS also remains a stronghold for procedural drama, but we can't help wondering if some of Person of Interest's more science-fiction elements (or Michael Emerson's sci-fi following) might muddle the viewership. Either way, it's worth a look.
