i might have been wrong about nbc's fall schedule. while the shows didn't sound great, they look like they'll actually be pretty good. there's still the little thing of getting viewers, which has been a challenge for the network, but here's my picks for what could be successful. nbc's biggest problem is they tend to save what would be big hits until midseason - and that record holds true with shows friends with benefits, harry's law, perfect couples and the paul reiser show. hopefully people will be looking for new tv come january? anyway, here are the shows...
love bites - this dramedy stars ugly betty's becki newtown. that was where it had me. it's also pretty funny, at least from the preview. the biggest problem i see with it is that the series will have vignettes featuring loosely tied in love stories. it's better to stick with the main cast...but maybe it'll work.
the undercovers - this is latest series from j.j. abrams. it looks like an update of abrams' first hit, alias - one of my favorites. this could be the biggest hit - or liability - for the net.
harry's law - david e. kelley, the mind behind the practice, ally mcbeal and boston legal brings the network harry's law. the show stars kathy bates and brittany snow, a good start casting wise. rumor has it a new pilot has been ordered with a new ensemble cast, so the flaws i see in the preview could be fixed. sadly, this show doesn't pop up until midseason.
