- CreatorMichael SeitzmanStarsMarcia Gay HardenHarry FordBenjamin HollingsworthThe staff of the L.A. County Hospital emergency room treats patients under difficult circumstances.Marcia Gay Harden is a great actress and makes this look really nice, but I'm not so happy about the way it's starting, the hospital and the way it's presented. I like medical shows, but I find it really hard to ever find anything like "Grey's Anatomy". This may be too dark and abrupt for my taste. Nevertheless, I think I will give it a try.
EXCITEMENT: 3/10 - CreatorJustin AdlerStarsColin HanksBetsy BrandtThomas SadoskiA family comedy told through the separate stories of different family members.The cast is really interesting and it has potential, but it seems like CBS just can't do it, with single-camera comedies. At first look, the humor is quite stale and the story of most parts resembles an unsuccessful teen-movie. I really love the cast, but I don't think this is going to work. It's something between funny and boring. Can't really tell.
EXCITEMENT: 2/10 - CreatorTad QuillStarsJane LynchMaggie LawsonKyle BornheimerAllison isn't quite sure if her new friend, Amy, is her guardian angel or a crazy person.The leading duo seems wonderful. Many are saying this won't be good at all, but it looks pretty fun and interesting. The story isn't so special, but the humor and their potential as friends could really evolve into something hilarious. Want to see this, even though it is a little flat!
EXCITEMENT: 6/10 - CreatorAli AdlerGreg BerlantiAndrew KreisbergStarsMelissa BenoistChyler LeighDavid HarewoodThe adventures of Superman's cousin and her own superhero career.Nice one. The mix of romantic-comedy with super-hero stuff could be really fun or really messed-up. It looks quite interesting and I'm particularly excited about the cast. Chyler Leigh back on TV? Oh yeah!!! Great choice for Super-Girl as well and Calista Flockhart is the cherry on the top. I'm pretty sure it won't become my #1 favorite series of the year, but it will rank in the top 10.
EXCITEMENT: 8/10
UPDATE: The pilot leaked and I watched it. Not as good as I thought. It's really hard to judge a show by its pilot, but it doesn't look really good. Benoist is very fun, but her drama skills aren't quite evolved and the story is just OK. I love Chyler Leigh in this, she remains wonderful and Calista Flockhart is breathtaking, but it's not what I hoped for. Maybe it will get better in the next episodes, but even if it doesn't, I will probably still watch it as a relaxing show, never getting excited about it though.
CURRENT OPINION: 6/10 (-2) - CreatorCraig SweenyStarsJake McDormanJennifer CarpenterHill HarperAn average 28-year-old man who gains the ability to use the full extent of his brain's capabilities is hired by the F.B.I. as a consultant.Even though I haven't seen the movie (bummer), I've heard it's really nice and by the trailer, the show looks great as well. Male-driven action drama with some kind of super-genius-power and Bradley Cooper even guest-starring? Hell yeah!!! Looks like one of the best to come, this year. I just hope the narrative tone isn't here to stay.
EXCITEMENT: 8/10 - CreatorMartin GeroStarsSullivan StapletonJaimie AlexanderAudrey EsparzaJane Doe is found in Times Square with no memory and mysterious tattoos on her body.NBC could actually make a good TV drama and this just might be it. The story is very interesting, as is the background and the details, it's filled with. Looks pretty nice. This could be very very nice. Like it.
EXCITEMENT: 7/10 - StarsMelissa GeorgeDave AnnableDon HanyA look at the professional and personal life of heart transplant surgeon Alex Panttiere.Looks like a mediocre, more romantic "Grey's Anatomy". Sorry, but even though, it's not as good as it used to be, I'm not giving up on it, to watch some other medical drama, with such a poor backround. It just doesn't look good. Melissa George isn't a bad choice for the lead, but as a doctor? Meh... It just doesn't add up. I could be wrong though.
EXCITEMENT: 3/10 - CreatorDJ NashStarsMark-Paul GosselaarTone BellVanessa LacheyA look at the life of two best friends, a meek politically correct Caucasian ethics professor and an easy-going African American, and their families.Let's just take a minute of silence for all the historic comedies, NBC created back in its golden days. I generally have low standards for comedies and pretty much can see anything. This however? Just doesn't have any difference from the usual crappy sitcom. It's so used and cliched. Maybe it's got some fun lines and some well-performed characters, but I think I'll pass, due to my immense respect to "Friends", "Seinfeld", "Golden Girls", "Parks & Recreation", "Community", "Will & Grace" and many more shows...
EXCITEMENT: 1/10 - CreatorJohn FoxJohn RogersStarsPhilip WinchesterDamon GuptonWesley SnipesA former intelligence and FBI officer, who now works as a security expert in Las Vegas, is recruited by mysterious pit boss Mr. Johnson to, based on his tips, try to prevent crimes, while the rich place bets on his chances of success.Well, it's pending. The cast is very interesting, but the story reminds me of something familiar. Anyway, it's got a nice vibe. I'm not saying this will be the hit of the year (especially not, since it's opposite HTGAWM), but it could become a nice show to chill with, the procedural that's been missing from TV, the last years. Why not? It could go either way, but I kind of like this, kind of don't.
EXCITEMENT: 5/10 - CreatorDaniel ChunStarsJohn StamosPaget BrewsterJosh PeckA confirmed bachelor discovers he's a dad--and a grandfather.I think John Stamos is a very nice guy and a fine actor, but I hate it when he doesn't know, when he's out of his genre and he's done that quite a few times. This however? This is 100% John Stamos and also starring, "Drake & Josh" star, Josh Peck? Yeah! The story isn't really special, but the cast and the paths this could potentially follow, could really turn it, into a hit. Hoping this really goes well, because it seems good.
EXCITEMENT: 8/10 - CreatorAndrew MogelJarrad PaulStarsRob LoweFred SavageMary Elizabeth EllisTelevision lawyer Dean Sanderson moves back to his small home town after a stint in Hollywood, thinking that his time on TV qualifies him to run his family's law firm.Sounds like a great pair with "Grandfathered". Nice job. The cast is so cool and I love law-linked shows, so this could really go well. I think Rob Lowe is awesome and this role totally suits him! Really want to see this and all it will evolve into, despite its kind-of-used storyline.
EXCITEMENT: 7/10 - CreatorIan BrennanBrad FalchukRyan MurphyStarsEmma RobertsLea MicheleAbigail BreslinA semi-anthology series that centers on characters being terrorized by a serial killer in different locations, including a university and a hospital.Super fun cast, super fun idea, super fun premise!!! Being a fan of "American Horror Story", I really can't resist watching this! "Mean Girls" meets "Friday the 13th"? Oh yes!!! If it's too girly, it might not be as good, but something tells me it will keep a balance and satisfy all of its audiences!!! Super TV show, I just can't wait!
EXCITEMENT: 9/10 - CreatorTodd HarthanStarsMorris ChestnutJaina Lee OrtizGabrielle DennisMiami pathologist Dr. Beaumont Rosewood, Jr. finds secrets in people's bodies using his state-of-the-art laboratory equipment.Quite different from the rest of the medical shows coming this year, but it's still not special. I like the cast, but the story is just too expected. It's like we already know what will happen. Its procedural type though is something I miss from TV and I think most will be able to watch this just to relax and expect fun moments. It may be good, it may not, but considering its type, I think it will be nice.
EXCITEMENT: 6/10 - CreatorJenna BansStarsJoan AllenRupert GravesAlison PillA community is rattled when a politician's son, who was presumed murdered years ago, returns home.Really mixed thoughts over this. I like the cast and the mysterious story, but its tone and possible continuation seem too obscure and over-the-top. It will probably be a good TV show, but it's just not my type, I'm pretty sure I won't see it.
EXCITEMENT: 3/10 - CreatorBob KushellBill PradyStarsDave GoelzEric JacobsonBill BarrettaJim Henson's lovable Muppets return to the small screen in this mockumentary-style series that follows their personal and professional lives.Liked them as a child, will definetely like them, as a teenager. The story is so fun and I'm very excited to see how this will be! Judging by the trailer, it is the most fun, hilarious and exciting new comedy, so far!!! Just the fact that it's the "Muppets" makes it even better!
EXCITEMENT: 9/10 - CreatorKate AtkinsonHelen GregoryAllan HeinbergStarsMireille EnosPeter KrauseJay HaydenFollows a female private investigator whose career specialty is exposing fraud for a living. She is drawn to a man whose career appears to be committing fraud for a living.Really nice choices for the roles, but probably bad idea. I think Shonda Rimes has given TV some of the best shows, she could have and I really like her creations. This is just like the rest of them, but it lacks in interest and is based on dramatic romance, betrayal and a boring job for its lead. Shonda always surprises me and manages to change my mind really often, but I can't tell whether she will do this again or not... I will give it a try though.
EXCITEMENT: 3/10 - CreatorJoshua SafranStarsPriyanka Chopra JonasJake McLaughlinJohanna BraddyA look at the lives of young FBI recruits training at the Quantico base in Virginia when one of them is suspected of being a sleeper terrorist.This seems great. Nice premise, nice cast, nice story, nice potential twists. It's got all it takes to rise. I just hope it lives up to its buzz and manages to be a serious, interesting, suspenseful drama. I think it will. It's not super though,it's just good (at least, until I see it).
EXCITEMENT: 7/10 - CreatorJohn FoxKen JeongJared SternStarsKen JeongSuzy NakamuraTisha CampbellA frustrated doctor juggles his career, marriage, and family.ABC must stop trying to create this diverse, different from the usual comedy block, because it's getting very tiring and kind of racist, seeing they're doing it again and again. Apart from that, Jeong can't save a show like this, even with his incredible comedy skills. It just looks bad. Not 100% bad, but not easy-to-tolerate either. I kind of hope I'm wrong, because I really liked him, back on "Community".
EXCITEMENT: 2/10 - CreatorCasey JohnsonJoshua SterninJennifer VentimiliaStarsMartha PlimptonJay R. FergusonNoah GalvinA family's bond is strengthened when the youngest son tells his parents that he's gay.Same story? Good cast, good idea, bad execution? Every family comedy is somewhat like this, now. The idea is really nice, but I just don't see it evolving like that. I mean, basing an entire show on your son coming out? Just that? Really don't know...
EXCITEMENT: 2/10 - StarsMike EppsJames LesureIman BensonAn unreliable man-child takes care of his brother's kids.The thing I said for "Dr. Ken" and ABC doesn't apply here. This actually looks fun! Definetely, a comedy I could watch and enjoy. Great choice for the lead and generally, the cast is great. This will probably be panned by critics, but I hope it does well on the ratings, because it looks really fun!
EXCITEMENT: 7/10 - CreatorSteven BaigelmanStarsJeremy SistoTaissa FarmigaGabriel LunaA pair of LAPD detectives track down serial killers terrorizing the Sunset Strip.I like this. The only dark TV drama to be coming out, that actually seems interesting. Murder, LA, hard drinks, mystery. Awesome premise plus it's an anthology, which means we'll get a brand new story next season. In favor!!!
EXCITEMENT: 8/10 - CreatorRachel BloomAline Brosh McKennaStarsRachel BloomDonna Lynne ChamplinVincent Rodriguez IIIA young woman abandons a choice job at a law firm and her life in New York in an attempt to find happiness in the unlikely locale of West Covina, California.This really looks crazy. Good idea to put it with "Jane The Virgin" and despite the nice lead and the funny way this is starting with, I don't see me waiting every week for new episodes and then, anxiously rushing to see them. Very good effort overall, but it's not for me.
EXCITEMENT: 2/10 - CreatorGreg BerlantiMarc GuggenheimPhil KlemmerStarsCaity LotzAmy Louise PembertonDominic PurcellTime-traveling rogue Rip Hunter must recruit a ragtag team of heroes and villains to help prevent an apocalypse that could impact not only Earth, but all of time.Perfect idea. Perfect idea!!! Really happy something like this is happening! I hope they make this as perfect as I hope it will be, because it looks super fun, super kick-ass and generally super! Yeah! The only problem is I don't know most of these super-heroes, which puts me into thinking...
EXCITEMENT: 8/10 - CreatorTom KapinosStarsTom EllisLauren GermanKevin AlejandroLucifer Morningstar has decided he's had enough of being the dutiful servant in Hell and decides to spend some time on Earth to better understand humanity. He settles in Los Angeles - the City of Angels.Good try. Got to say, the Lucifer thing wasn't the best when I first heard about this, but it could really become interesting. Not actually looking forward to it, but it seems good and entertaining! I will watch this, at least in the beggining.
EXCITEMENT: 6/10 - CreatorRodes FishburneJosh PateStarsDon JohnsonChace CrawfordRebecca RittenhouseA young married couple of newcomers looks to cash in on the modern-day oil boom in North Dakota and becomes involved with sly local oil baron, Hap Briggs, and his troubled family.I'm not super excited with the background, but it seems interesting and fun. "Dallas"-like. I like that!!! Not my cup of tea generally, but it looks better than average.
EXCITEMENT: 5/10 - CreatorJulie PlecStarsDavid GyasiChristina MosesChris WoodThe series follows an epidemic that breaks out in Atlanta, leaving the large city quarantined and those stuck on the inside fighting for their lives.Good idea, I always like it when they mix such issues. The cast looks OK and the background is intriguing, but with so many shows coming out, I don't know if I will have interest in this too.
