  I think it might be set slightly before the avengers so that they can do some backstory and the catch up to where they are in the marvel universe. The origin story is always the best part.

  Oh they will definitely be origin stories, especially so for Daredevil since they will want their own new start to make sure nobody can get it mixed up with the film.
  I could see it being set after the most recent events in the films/tv universe and having the Avengers inspiring others to fight street crime.

  I don't think his show will have that much crossover with the marvel films or influence on his character. His origin story should look pretty cool on tv if they stick closely to comics.

  Oh i agree that the wider universe of the films/series won't directly change his origin, but obviously that will take place within it.
  His origin should be definitely be interesting if given decent time to do it (something the film really rushed through).

  I get that, imeant I don't think the series will involve much from the marvel films. I hope they look deep into his origin story, that's one thing I hate about films they usually rush through it, bit like man of steel.

  Well by the sounds of it while the world changing events of the film will no doubt have some effect, it seems it's not going to involve Daredevil (or any of the other heroes starting in the series) fighting alien invasion level threats.
  I doubt they will skip over the origin, even if they don't show it all in the first episode I think it will be explored.

  I can't imagine any of the new shows touching base with the films.
  Shield tied in just because its Shield and it had such a part in all the films that it made sense (and Marvel like to make you wanna see everything).

  I think they will connect related to the fact it's all one big continuity, but i think the same as you, these being street level heroes they probably aren't going to have big roles in the films (but i could be wrong).
  Would like to see The Punisher appear in one of the tv shows though, would be a good way to introduce him into the Marvel universe and Daredevil would actually be ideal to do that (probably won't happen).

  There's been 2 Punisher films. I think we have all suffered enough. Lets just leave him be and let him rest in peace and mourn his family.
  
  Daredevil I am excited to see and I would love to see him reach Avengers level. Not a massive fan of the character but it would be cool to see him and Black Widow launching themselves about.

  The Punisher is a good character but he's never really been done properly in film, although I did quite like the Punisher (2004) film despite the flaws. I think he'd probably work best in a tv show, a vigilante that slaughters criminals isn't something that sells well on film apparently (and on tv a series about a serial killer was very popular).
  
  I could see Avengers 3 (or later) bringing in some of the heroes introduced in the shows, since that is the villian they are building towards.
