Homeland and Person of Interest look good, though I worry for the long term direction of Homeland once the initial conceit is solved. I imagine it will turn out like prison break once they broke out. The rest will probably be gone by the mid-season.

all the black guys in comedies play the same character lolAngry Fork said:
What is it with them and the 1 black guy quota. It's so odd and obviously to try to 'balance' something or whatever but it just comes off as being worse than not having the black guy there. I wouldn't be surprised if they're all sidekick comic relief characters too.

These all look really lacking in new ideas. The worst have to be the playboy one and Charlies Angels, the pic looks like an Avon advert.

which shows have good buzz or good people attached? when was the last time a not cable network show was a critically and commercial success? last year was pretty weak and this doesn't look that much better.

Person of Interest: JJ Abrams, Johnathan Nolan, James Caviezel, Michael Emerson...
I have no idea if this will be airing in America but Ricky Gervais's new sitcom starts sometime soon.
And then there's the second series of An Idiot Abroad! Hahaha, enjoy your teen drama's America.

What is this? 1995?
Speaking of 1995...
Can't fucking wait.
Ringer and Person of Interest have my attention. May check out Playboy Club and Pan Am, but all I see is "trying to be Mad Men," honestly. I also like Christina Applegate so maybe I'll watch her show.

Yeah where's Awake on this list? Sounds like the best one out of everything here (and it's got Jason Isaacs).
It also sounds like another Journeyman in which it will be cancelled very soon after premiere :/

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
The majority of these shows would work better as shitty movies.
Yay for Beavis and Butthead being back.
As for the rest of the lineup, damn near every single show from the Big 3 networks looks like regurgitated trash. I'm sorry, but Tim Allen is still allowed to legally make sitcoms? Oh, but this time instead of a Tool man, he's a Sporting goods man... And I thought Home Improvement already paired him with three daughters...
And they're still trying crap like "Okay, so get this... a GIRL... moves in.. with three GUYS... and they're ROOMMATES...."? As cute as I think Zooey Deschanel is, nothing on earth could get me to watch that, short the title being changed to "Gangbang" and the show getting sent over to 1AM on Cinemax.
After being spoiled by the likes of Rome, Mad Men, Boardwalk Empire, Dexter, Game of Thrones, etc. It's hard to look at network TV anymore and not want to throw up a little. I mean, if you're going to suffer through bad acting, silly story lines and a childish premise, you could always watch True Blood and at least get some nudity out of it.

Whitney pilot is Ondemand and it is worse then I thought was going to be. People joke about the best stuff being in the commercials and it is true for this show. Nothing but old and tired relationship jokes. That said, the bitter female friend and the douchebag guy friend are almost funny.
Yeah, they did but I think the week after they are moving back to their intended timeslot.Zoe said:
I thought Up All Night was pretty good. Arnett is playing someone who isn't outrageous for once but I dunno if I can stand Maya Rudolph at times.
Free Agents for some reason I thought was gonna be so-so but it got a few laughs from me.
Maybe I'm just too easy on TV sometimes.

Wow, how come I never heard that Beavis and Butthead are coming back?! That's great news.
China, IL looks like it could be pretty good for AS as well.
I don't have good feelings for practically everything else.

I watched New Girl last night on Hulu and it is shitty.
