CBS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Big Bang Theory<\/em> – The nerds return for more fun.<\/p>\n

How To Be A Gentleman<\/em> –\u00a0 This looks to be horrible.\u00a0 I doubt it lasts through November sweeps.<\/p>\n

Person Of Interst<\/em> – Michael Emerson’s first post-Lost series.\u00a0 That alone is enough of a reason to give this a chance.<\/p>\n

The Mentalist<\/em> – Based on the premiere, it will be more of the same from The Mentalist.\u00a0 It’s a good enough show, but I can see it burning out quickly if they don’t shake things up sometime soon.<\/p>\n

NBC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Community<\/em> – Back for a surprising third season.\u00a0 John Goodman has joined in a recurring role, and, so far, looks to have brought his A-game.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Office<\/em> – This show is starting to show its age, and time will tell if James Spader is able to fill the shoes of the departed Steve Carell.<\/p>\n

Whitney<\/em> – Whitney Cummings plays Whitney Cummings.\u00a0 The first episode suffered somewhat from both pilot-itis as well as all of the best jokes being overplayed in the commercials.\u00a0 I like Cummings in her roast and Howard Stern\u00a0appearances, so I’ll give this one\u00a0a chance.<\/p>\n

Prime Suspect<\/em> – Maria Bello stars in this remake of the British hit.\u00a0 The original was released in 1991, which may explain why the plot of\u00a0a female detective having to break through the old boys club feels 20 years old.<\/p>\n

FOX<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bones<\/em> – Bones returns in November following the World Series with a pregnant Emily Deschanel shaking up the status quo.\u00a0 The season finale seemed to imply that Booth is the father, but that remains to be seen.<\/p>\n

ABC<\/strong><\/p>\n

Charlie’s Angels<\/em> – Another remake, with the action moving from LA to Miami.\u00a0 With Minka Kelly and Rachel Taylor on board as two of the Angels, I’ll be giving this a shot.\u00a0 Although it would have been interesting to see what Nadine Velazquez could have done with a role had she not been killed off in the pilot.<\/p>\n

Grey’s Anatomy<\/em> – This will likely be the last season for Patrick Dempsey’s McDreamy, and possibly also for Ellen Pompeo as well.\u00a0 Beyond that, it will likely be the same rollercoaster of hookups and breakups.<\/p>\n

Private Practice<\/em> – Never great and never bad, it just kind of is.<\/p>\n

CW<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Secret Circle – I only watched the pilot because of Britt Robertson, who charmed in last year’s Life Unexpected<\/em>.\u00a0 I’m not sure how long I’ll give this, but it will get a shot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
