Best Shows
Glee- one of the most anticipated dramas of the season is finally here! A high school drama about a Spanish teacher, who wants to create a glee club kids can get excited about. Look for great musical numbers and off-beat humor. Also look for the hilarious Jane Lynch, as an evil, imposing cheerleading coach. Premieres Wednesday, Sept.9 @ 9pm on Fox.
Lie to me/Dollhouse- Not technically a new show, but last years midseason shows deserve a second chance. Lie to Me stars Tim Roth, a human lie detector. A must see for House fans. Dollhouse comes from the genius that is Joss Whedon and stars Eliza Dushku. Dollhouse is about a Center that provides human dolls that can be anything they’re programmed to be, from secret agents to love companions. Both on Fox, Lie to Me premieres Monday, Sept.28@9pm, Dollhouse Friday Sept.25 @ 9pm.
Flash Forward- ABC’s blockbuster-type show, where everyone across the world blacks out and sees six months into their future. Starring Joseph Fiennes, ABC must really love this show since it found a home in Ugly Betty’s vacated time slot, right before Grey’s Anatomy. Debuts Thursday, Sept.24 @8pm on ABC.
Eastwick- this show is on the list if only because it’s filming on the sacred ground that is Stars Hollow. Based on Updike’s book, the show stars Rebecca Romaijn, Lindsey Price and Jamie Ray Newman, as three different women who discover magical talents, friendship and along the way unexpected danger. And of course there will be loads of sexual tension. Debuts Wednesday, Sept.23@10pm on ABC.
Modern Family- Follows three families who are dealing with daily struggles and what being a modern parent is. One of the new fall comedies that actually looks funny and different. Premieres Wednesday, Sept.23@9pm on ABC.
Not worth your time
Jay Leno- If I could put him in all five spots, I would. Why NBC is giving up the 10 pm primetime spot to Leno, is beyond comprehension. At this point it seems they’re just throwing things against the wall to see what sticks.
Accidently on Purpose- I love Jenna Elfman, so it dismays me to say, that this comedy looks anything but hilarious. A hapless comedy about a thirty-something woman who tries out cougardom with a barely legal, but hot, guy that ends up in a one-night stand that produces a baby (have you heard this before?)
Trauma- Replacing ER with a drama about paramedics, what a stretch. Plus the slow moving promos, meant to show action, rather make the viewer wonder why a Baywatch babe isn’t running along side these heroes. Paramedics deserve better than this.
Three Rivers- Alex O’Loughlin, notwithstanding, this drama about organ donors, the recipients, and the doctors who save their lives, seems to be lacking something. The problem is, the hospital seems so sterile and cold, it’s hard not to give this show a chilly reception. My advice: watch the show, mute it, and just bask in the dreaminess of Alex O’Loughlin.
Happy Town- premiering midseason, this show has all the appeal of a lifetime movie. A small town is disrupted by a murder that reminds the denizens of a psychotic man, who seven years ago snatched up seven people. Everyone becomes a suspect, paranoia ensues. Yeah. Sounds more like a summer mini-series, than an actually series.
