It’s humpday!<\/p>\n

Undercovers – JJ Abrams revisits the spy drama for the first time since Alias, which was one of my favorite series.\u00a0 That alone will give this show a reasonable leash.\u00a0 I haven’t seen the pilot yet, so I can’t really comment on it beyond that.<\/p>\n

7:30<\/strong><\/p>\n

Better With You – I’ve enjoyed Jennifer\u00a0Finnigan 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.\u00a0 The only thing worse than this pilot is Garcia’s taste in men<\/a>.<\/p>\n

8:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

Criminal Minds – Probably the one returning series I am most concerned about.\u00a0 Most of the female cast has been either let go or reduced to part time status, so it will be\u00a0interesting to see how they handle that storywise.\u00a0 If it is not handled well, they can continue their new sausage-fest without me.<\/p>\n

Modern Family – One of the surprises of last season.\u00a0 I hadn’t even planned on watching this going into last season and it turned into one of my favorite shows.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Hellcats – The CW did a good thing by premiering this early, otherwise I would never have given it a chance.\u00a0 The plots are decent but, let’s be honest,\u00a0the real draw is the eye candy<\/a> of the cheerleading squad.<\/p>\n

8:30<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cougar Town – The focus of this show changed considerably over last season, to the point where producers considered changing the title to match.\u00a0 It now has more of a Friends vibe, if the Central Perk gang was older, had kids, and drank too much.<\/p>\n

9:00<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Defenders – This was a tough one.\u00a0 Jerry O’Connell seems like a good guy and is generally likeable in his roles.\u00a0 Jim Belushi, on the other hand, is a blight on this country and needs to go away.\u00a0 The pilot was decent, but I don’t know how much of the lesser Belushi sibling I can tolerate before calling it quits.<\/p>\n

The Whole Truth – I like both leads, and the work off each other well, but there wasn’t really much else here.\u00a0 Since the time period is light, it will probably stick around until ABC puts it out of its misery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
