Fall TV: Hudson Valley celebs shine in new, returning shows

If you're lamenting the end of summer, take comfort in the fact that the fall TV season officially kicks into gear this week, with new shows and old favorites hitting the airwaves. From comedy to drama to reality TV and beyond, many of these series feature stars with Hudson Valley connections. Here's a look at fall shows that feature local celebrities.

"666 Park Avenue" on ABC: If there's one new show that could claim it's the "Hudson Valley-est" of them all, it would be "666 Park Avenue," a buzzy drama that premieres at 10 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30. Three of its stars hail from the area: Chappaqua resident Vanessa Williams, Suffern native and former Walden resident Dave Annable and Yonkers native Erik Palladino. The show takes place at The Drake, a glamorous Manhattan residential building threatened by supernatural forces. Palladino, who plays The Drake's doorman, said the show has a "Kubrick, Hitchcock vibe." Williams, whose character owns The Drake along with her mysterious husband, agreed. "'666' is a world where there's a lot of intrigue," she said. "Hopefully it will be like watching a movie each week."
