There are quite a few new shows premiering this fall. From cop dramas and baby changing comedies to 80's reboots and paranormal powers there seems to be something for everyone. And while some
of the shows are good and some are just plain awful, its the weeding out process that fans despise of most.
Everyone has a hectic schedule,
so finding time to sit down and test out all the new shows is rare. So here is a short guide to what we feel will be the winners and losers of the season.
Top 5
1. Person of Interest premieres 9/22 at 10/9c on CBS
Why it's gonna be awesome: The show stars two of my favorite actors,
Jim Caviezel of Jesus and Michael Emerson of Lost. Also it's been
co-created by Jonathan Nolan, brother to Christopher Nolan. From what I can
tell in the previews, Caviezel breaks people and ventilates them as needed.
One word reason to watch: Guns!
2. Homeland premieres 10/2 at 10/9c on Showtime
Why it's gonna be awesome: This show boasts an amazing cast composed
of Claire Danes, Damian Lewis, Mandy Patinkin, and Morena Baccarin. You might
remember Lewis from the amazing and gone too soon show, Life. Lewis
plays a POW that Claire Danes believes is a terrorist sleeper agent.
One word reason to watch: Paranoia!
3. Terra Nova premieres 9/26 at 8/7c on Fox
Why it's gonna be awesome: Stephen Lang, the bad-ass marine villain
from Avatar is in it. Also this show includes, but is not limited to,
time travel, dinosaurs, guns, and cool vehicles.
One word reason to watch: Dinosaurs!
4. Free Agents premieres 9/22 at 10:30/9:30c on NBC
Why it's gonna be awesome: It stars the hilarious Hank Azaria and the
very British Anthony Head. Head is best known for playing Giles on Buffy the
Vampire Slayer. Azaria has been in just about everything funny for the past
twenty years, most notably The Simpsons; which really stopped being
funny ten years ago. Also this show was ripped off from a British comedy so you
know it's gold.
One word reason to watch: Giles!
5. Prime Suspects premieres 9/22 at 10/9c on NBC
Why it's gonna be awesome: It looks to me like a very intriguing and
quirky police procedural and I haven't really enjoyed one of those since Monk.
Maria Bello stars as a detective with a fedora. Also she solves crimes in
quirky fashion that is somewhat loveable This show was also ripped off from the
Brits. That's right, we can't get
enough of their original programming.
One word reason to watch: Fedora!
Now for the shows I wouldn't watch if I had 75% hard drive
space available in my DVR and I was chained to a bed for no particular
reason....
Bottom 5
1. Whitney premieres 9/22 at 9:30/8:30c on NBC
Why it will be canceled: It stars Whitney Cummings and it's
not funny....
2. Up All Night premieres 9/14 at 10/9c on NBC
Why it will be canceled: Screaming babies aren't
entertaining and Will Arnett is cursed....
3. How to be a Gentleman premieres 9/29 at 830/730c
on CBS
Why it will be canceled: Etiquette jokes will get old fast,
but I have a feeling it will linger like Rules of Engagement. I'll give
it this, it does have a somewhat decent cast that includes Dave Foley and Rhys
Darby.
4.Charlies Angels premieres 9/22 at 8/7c on ABC
Why it will be canceled: They're trying to tap into the
magic that made the new Hawaii Five-0 a success, but I know it just
won't happen.
5. Last Man Standing premieres 10/11 at 8/7c on ABC
Why it will be canceled: It's just Home Improvement with
girls....
