Continuing our look back at September’s thoughts about humpday’s tv output.

Undercovers – JJ Abrams revisits the spy drama for the first time since Alias, which was one of my favorite series. That alone will give this show a reasonable leash. I haven’t seen the pilot yet, so I can’t really comment on it beyond that.
Imagine a show with all of the problems Alias had integrating the spy world with the family stories, but without any of the good stuff Alias had. NBC has pulled it off the schedule, never to be heard from again.

Better With You – I’ve enjoyed Jennifer Finnigan and Joanna Garcia in previous series, and last season’s new ABC comedies on Wednesday night turned out to be great, so I gave this a shot. The only thing worse than this pilot is Garcia’s taste in men.
As you may have guessed from the comment above, this did not get a second chance. Also, and I mean this in the nicest possible way, F Nick Swisher.
