It's mainly dramas as usual, with new entertainment shows like The X Factor and Press Ganged thrown in alongside Parkinson and the return of Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm a Celebrity...
Media Guardian:
Certainly far more appealing to me than the BBC1 schedule, although I think The X Factor is one rip-off of Popstars too far - and I'm a Celebrity seems to be working it's way through the Alphabet - it started off with C-List celebs, and will quickly hit Z-list (already has, you may argue!)
I just wish the UK networks would follow the US's lead and publish their intended schedules with this information - although with ITV1 I guess it's quite predictable, with Corrie, Emmerdale and The Bill in their regular slots, Tuesday night football, Monday night "Drama Premieres", drama series running on Wednesday or Thursday, while The X Factor will run on Saturdays at 7pm.

Simon Nye's new comedy drama Tunnel of Love, playing a fairground handyman who is sued for damages after a series of accidents on his rides.
Tunnel of Love forms part of a strong ITV1 drama line-up this autumn, which also includes Tamzin Outhwaite's debut on the network, thriller Frances Tuesday, and Dirty Filthy Love, an offbeat TV movie about a love affair between two people suffering from obsessive compulsive disorders.
Dee stars in Tunnel of Love as Roy, a fairground handyman who turns amateur sleuth to try and clear his name and uncover the truth behind a series of accidents.
The 90-minute single comedy drama has been written by Men Behaving Badly creator Nye and produced by Talkback Thames, the company behind The Bill.
In Frances Tuesday, former EastEnders star Outhwaite plays a woman who goes into a police protection scheme and has plastic surgery after turning in her gangster boyfriend.
Michael Sheen, best known for portraying Tony Blair in last year's Channel 4 drama The Deal, and Shirley Henderson star as OCD sufferers brought together via a self help group in Dirty Filthy Love.
ITV1's autumn schedule features another drama tackling a difficult issue - caring for the elderly - in Belonging, which has been scripted by veteran screenwriter Alan Plater.
The TV movie stars Brenda Blethyn as a middle aged woman who is left to care for three in-laws when her husband, Kevin Whately, runs off with a younger woman.

The autumn line-up also includes She's Gone, in which Ray Winstone plays a father searching for his missing daughter in the seedy underworld of Istanbul; and Quite Ugly One Morning, in which James Nesbitt stars as an incompetent journalist who stumbles on a murder scene and ends up as a suspect.
There is also a new Miss Marple, with the elderly sleuth played by Geraldine McEwan, and Martin Clunes will star as a grumpy surgeon who relocates from London to a sleepy Cornish fishing village, in Doc Martin.
ITV1 has been without a fire service drama since the demise of the long running London's Burning a couple of years ago, but this autumn sees the launch of Steel River Blues, this time following the work of a fictional Teeside fire brigade.
The network also has a strong entertainment line-up for the autumn, with new Simon Cowell talent show X-Factor joining established hits I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! and Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway.
In comedy, ITV1 has Caroline Quentin, Richard Wilson and Clunes - again - in a series of three standalone films with the same theme - being trapped.
Reality highlights include new format, Press Ganged, in which teams are sent out on a 19th century ship to endure a month long sea voyage.
ITV1 will be broadcasting drama-documentary Fooling Hitler, focusing on one of the greatest schemes of military deception in the second world war.
The network also has an wide ranging line-up of terrestrial movie premieres for the autumn, including Die Another Day, About A Boy, American Pie and The Mummy Returns.
