2011 New Fall Season – Wednesdays

CBS

Criminal Minds – Last season saw A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster written out of the show and replaced by Rachel Nichols.  Someone must have realized it was a mistake, as this season Rachel Nichols has been replaced by A.J. Cook and Paget Brewster.  As it enters its seventh season, it may not be the best move to return back to the old status quo.

NBC

Up All Night – Two espisodes in and it has been decent so far, with the appeal of Christina Applegate cancelling out the annoyances of Will Arnett.  The scenes at home with the baby have far surpassed those at work to this point.

Free Agents – This has not been very good so far, despite featuring the return of Anthony Stewart Head to American television sets.  I give it until January, if that long.

Harry’s Law – Last season had Kathy Bates running a store front law firm of 4 employees, righting the wrongs of the neighborhood.  After one episode of this season, that firm has grown to a full-fledged enterprise, leading me to believe that this will now become the next Boston Legal, with Bates playing the Alan Shore role.  I’m not sure if that is a road I want to go down again.

FOX

I Hate My Teenage Daughter – This isn’t scheduled to debut until late November, and, based on what I’ve seen of it in previews, it isn’t likely it will last much beyond that.  I may give it a chance due to the leads, Jamie Pressly and Katie Finneran, who I’ve enjoyed in the past.

ABC

Suburgatory – Don’t know much about this one.  IMDB says it is about “a teenage girl who moves to the suburbs.”  Exciting stuff.  I’ll give it a shot due to the involvement of Dollhouse’s Alan Tudyk.

Modern Family – Following a cleanup at the Emmys, this returns for its third season with a new Lilly and hopefully more of the same zaniness that we’ve come to know and love.

Happy Endings – The only surviving entry of last spring’s collection of comedies about friends that are in relationships in different stages. 

Revenge – I’m watching the pilot as I type this.  Not sure if I’ll stick around past that, but I’ll give it an hour to grab me.
