It’s time to take a look at the Tuesday night offerings for this season.

7:00

Raising Hope – The quirky Fox drama returns for its third season with more of the same hilarity.

7:30

Ben and Kate – The premiere episode wasn’t bad, and I was pretty impressed with Dakota Johnson as Kate, but I could feel Nat Faxon’s Ben starting to grate during the first half hour.  I’m not sure how much more of him I am willing to take.

8:00

Go On – Matthew Perry’s latest attempt to escape the shadow of Chandler Bing has aired three episodes already and it isn’t bad.  Perry plays a sports radio host who joins a support group after his wife died.

New Girl – Zooey Deschanel returns in one of last season’s break out comedy hits.  The show got stronger as the season went on and the writers found their footing, and I’m looking forward to its return.

Happy Endings – This went from a late season replacement to one of the most consistently funny comedies on TV last season.  The ensemble group plays well off of each other and the writers bring the funny every week.

Emily Owens M.D. – Honestly, this show doesn’t sound too interesting, but I’ve enjoyed Mamie Gummer’s work in the past, so I may be willing to give it a try.

8:30

The New Normal – I watched the first episode of this “comedy” and have no intention of going back for more.

The Mindy Project – Mindy Kaling leaves The Office and branches out on her own in this comedy about a young, single doctor looking for love.  I’ve already seem the premiere and, while it wasn’t great, I’m willing to give her a chance to improve.

Don’t Trust The B—- In Apt 23 – Krysten Ritter, Dreama Walker, and James Van Der Beek return in the surprising comedy hit from ABC.  The show impressed in it’s brief run last spring, so I’m hoping it follows the Happy Endings path and continues to improve.

9:00

Parenthood – This show continues to be something of an enigma, where I like it enough to keep watching, but the episodes tend to bunch up on the DVR before I get around to watching them.

Private Practice – To be honest, I think I’m about done with this show.  However, it seems ABC, and star Kate Walsh, are too, so I’m willing to ride out what is expected to be the last 13 episodes.
