2010 New Fall Season – Tuesdays

Continuing our look at the new television season.

7:00

No Ordinary Family – While I’m sure this Fantastic Four/The Incredibles ripoff will be horrible (based solely on the incessant advertising at MLB stadiums), I will give it a shot for Julie Benz.

8:00

Life Unexpected – This little show surprised me last year when it was much better than it should have been.  Season 2 promises that the love triangle between Cate, Baze, and Ryan will come to an end, which was an overused plot in season 1. 

Raising Hope – What happens if you take the white trash elements from My Name Is Earl but without the natural warmth that was Jason Lee?  You get this show.  It wasn’t a total loss, but it is on a short leash.

8:30

Running Wilde – I don’t know what it is, but Will Arnett just does not work for me.  There’s something about him the just rubs me the wrong way.  On the other hand, I greatly enjoy the work of Keri Russell.  The pilot did not impress, but I’ll probably stick with it for awhile since the competition is light at this time.

9:00

The Good Wife – A solid performer from last season.  Never really good, but no serious missteps.

Parenthood – I remember liking the movie years ago, and the cast is filled with actors I usually enjoy, so I gave this show a chance when it premiered last spring.  It was good enough to stick with, but it does seem to drag at times.

Detroit 1-8-7 – This was an iffy choice to begin with and the pilot really didn’t do much for me.  It will probably need to knock it out of the park this week to continue.
