We’re continuing our look through FOX’s fall trailers with SLEEPY HOLLOW, which will hold the Monday 9PM slot until The Following takes it back at midseason. It comes from genre specialists Alex Kurtzman and Robert Orci, and here’s the promo: Sleepy Hollow has a bit of a second-hand feel, as though tropes from a […]
RESURRECTION is one of ABC’s TBD series, and it seems that it may be intended to have a limited run (perhaps bridging the gaps of a serialized show, in order to avoid reruns and preemptions), although it’s not clear if that means it would come to a definite end in the way of a […]
Another sitcom for NBC’s new “we wouldn’t be edgy if you begged us” Thursday night comedy line-up, as Sean Hayes returns to what’s now “Might-Watch TV” with SEAN SAVES THE WORLD. Well, let’s give Sean this much: as gay family sitcoms go, it looks better than The New Normal. And Hayes seems to have […]
Another TBD for ABC’s midseason: the high-concept comedy MIXOLOGY. The entire season takes place in a single night, at a bar where 10 single people are looking for love (or a close substitute), which–if things don’t go well–has the potential of feeling like one long night. Think of it as a sitcom 24, but […]
FOX’s most highly-touted drama pilot the entire development season was RAKE, which is indeed on the air. The price of scoring Greg Kinnear as a lead (much as it had been last year with Kevin Bacon) is that he would only commit to a limited number of episodes, so the show will air on […]
The first day of network Upfront presentations features a doubleheader, with NBC followed by FOX. That means another stack of trailers (unlike NBC, FOX also released the materials for its midseason shows), so let’s take a look. Reminder: it’s patently unfair to judge a TV series based on a 3-4 minute trailer, except that […]
No name has more cachet at CBS than Chuck Lorre’s. He’s given the network The Big Bang Theory, 2 1/2 Men and Mike & Molly, and hopes are high that his MOM, taking over the Monday 9:30PM timeslot this fall, can join those at the top of the ratings heap. The network’s behind-the-scenes featurette, […]
The final bit of Upfronts material released by CW is a brief clip from its midseason series STAR-CROSSED, about an alien and a human in love. A group of nervous, ostracized teens (presumably the aliens) are bused into a high school, and guy alien locks eyes with girl human, and the whole world changes, […]
