2010 Fall Season: Pass or Fail?


I'm looking forward to this new season. The major networks are investing a lot of money into new programs. I'm so happy there isn't as many reality shows, but we still can't seem to get rid of those. Here's my watch, DVR and ignore lists…

Shows to watch:

  • The EVENT (NBC) – I need to know what the "Event" is, and I heard it's not going to be like LOST and they will reveal the "Event" in early episodes. Plus, I love Blair Underwood.
  • Undercovers (NBC) – The first African American drama EVER! And its produced by Alias' JJ Abrams. Add that to Boris Kodjoe and it may be a hit.
  • Hawaii Five-O (CBS) – Loved the original, and like they characters the picked for this one, let's hope it lives up to the old show. Glad they kept the theme song pretty much intact.
  • Mike and Molly (CBS) – Looks like the only promising new comedy this season, just hope it's not all fat jokes.
  • Detroit 1-8-7 (ABC) – Being from the Detroit area, I need to see how bad the city is going to be portrayed. I can say that noticed I some text changes to their site since it was first announced. They aren't referring to Detroit at the murder capital anymore.
DVR and catch it on a rainy day:
  • Nikita (CW) – show seems to moving slow right now, let me know when the action starts
  • Chase (NBC) – Good for a rainy day, but seems like The Fugitive, with a new fugitive each week.
  • Blue Bloods (CBS) – This cop drama looks like it's got too many family issues going on, but I'll spend my weekend with Tom Selleck and Donnie Wahlberg anytime.
  • S#*! My Dad Says (CBS) – Looks like it could be funny, but not sure how good it's actually going to be, and can't believe they are getting away with a name like that.
  • Outlaw (NBC) – saw the first episode and think it has promise
  • Raising Hope (Fox) – Looks funny and promising. And Cloris Leachman has some funny one-liners.
Ignore, well cause they doesn't interest me:

  • Lonestar (Fox) – a show about a schemer looks like a scheme to me
  • The Defenders (CBS) – Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi as lawyers in Vegas. It won't last six episodes.
  • My Generation (ABC) – Another show about more lawyers.
  • Outsourced (Fox) – Looks like a bunch of stereotypical jokes about call centers in India
  • Hellcats (CW) – Watched the first two episodes, and not impressed. I don't think I'm the target demo for this show. Seems like CW has found a niche with teenage girls and is sticking to it.
So what do you give a pass or fail?
