For some reason, I feel as if I owe an apology to NBC. I
totally forgot that one of their comedies on tonight’s schedule premiered last
week. Oops, my bad.
So we’ll start with the lowest rated network, NBC and see
what they have to offer—first, their comedies Animal Practice and Guys with
Kids.
Animal Practice
also premiered during the Olympics, and my reactions was a wholehearted “meh.”
There are many familiar faces on the show, including Justin Kirk from Weeds and known show killer JoAna
Garcia. The premise is simple—a veterinarian loves the pets he treats but hates
their owners. Did I mention my meh reaction? It has a way to go before hit gets
a thumbs up.
Guys with Kids
comes from executive producer Jimmy Fallon and premieres on the 26th. The
premise is simply new dad’s in their 30’s who aren’t quite ready to grow up. Of
all the familiar faces I might be most excited for Tempest Bledsoe, because anything
with a Cosby kid is worth checking out at least once.
The peacock’s last offering is Chicago Fire, which comes from the creators of Law & Order, so
a nice pedigree. The trailer shows hot firefighters, which is a plus. Basically
the show is ER set amongst a fire house the people who work there.
CW has one new show, Arrow.
This is my top pick for my boy—it has teenage boy written all over it, but I am
intrigued as well. The premise is that a billionaire is found alive on a remote
island after being presumed dead for five years. He’s back, and ready to take
down all the evil in his world.
The other two new shows are on ABC. The Neighbors proves that everything old is new again. The plot seems
reminiscent of Third Rock from the Sun
or Alf. A family moves into a
neighborhood in the suburbs that is entirely populated with aliens. They’ve
been in disguise for years studying our culture, and now they are ready to let
the new people in on the big secret. The biggest note—from the writer of Crazy, Stupid, Love.
The final show for Wednesday night—probably my most
anticipated show of the fall—Nashville.
Now I could be blinded for my love of Tammy Taylor (Friday Night Lights—Best. Show. Ever.), but I think since all of
the professionals are labeling this as one of the best of the season, it is
worth checking out. The basic story is this: a veteran country singer now has
to save her career by opening for a new, young, hot girl. Drama!
