The new television season is right around the corner.

As various premieres air next week (we're most excited about 90210, The Vampire Diaries and Glee), networks are ramping up their promotional efforts.

With that in mind, a quartet of new posters has been released for three new shows and one wildly popular, returning drama. Set your DVR for new series recordings over the next few days and click on the pics below to enlarge these publicity shots.

(Yes, those are real snakes entangling Hugh Laurie on the House poster).
