Once again, we continue our look back at my expectations for the fall television season, and today we are focusing on Tuesdays.
CBS
Unforgettable – This may end up being utterly forgettable, but I’m going to give it a shot. The main hook, that Poppy Montgomery’s character has total recall of her memories, was played off in the pilot where she was witness to a crime. As she re-joins the police force, it may be interesting to see how they use this ability without her being personally involved in every case.
This is by no means a good show. I really should stop watching it.
NBC
Parenthood – Nothing really new to say here. It is what it is. Never great, but usually good enough.
I think this show works better in bunches than in week to week doses. I caught up on the latest 6 episodes during the December vacation and enjoyed it. But, I hadn’t enjoyed it enough previously to not let the 6 episodes pile up.
FOX
New Girl – The one pilot I saw early, thanks to the magic of OnDemand. I find Zooey Deschanel to be very charming, and would likely watch her reading the phone book for a hour. Thankfully, this seems to be much more impressive than that.
