NBC announced its fall series premiere dates including a three-hour event for the return of "Heroes" and an earlier-than-expected premiere for new reality competition series "America's Toughest Jobs."

Following the conclusion of its August presentation of the Summer Olympics from Beijing, NBC will roll out the bulk of its series during the traditional September premiere week or later.

Up first is unscripted series "Toughest Jobs," which has been moved from a previously announced launch date of summer 2009 to premiere on Sept. 12. "Jobs" will air on Friday nights at 8 p.m.

New comedy "Kath & Kim" has been shifted from a previously planned spot following "The Biggest Loser" on Tuesdays and will instead join the Thursday night comedy block beginning Oct. 9. "Kim" will air at 9:30, gaining a lead-in from "The Office."

Other new series premieres include "Knight Rider" (Sept. 24), "My Own Worst Enemy" (Sept. 29) and "Crusoe" (Oct. 17).

"Heroes" -- the highest-rated fall show to not resume its run this spring after the writers strike -- will premiere its third season Sept. 22.

Here's the 2008-09 fall network schedules.
