ABC has a lot of new shows! Not bad. Out of 10 shows, I don’t like two and am neutral on three. Out of the five I really like, one starts in November, three are January, and one is either Summer 2013 or earlier (tease).
666 Park Avenue – Resident of a building have sold their souls to the Devil to get what they want. Vanessa Williams and Terry O’Quinn (Lost and Hawaii Five 0) star, along with Dave Annabelle (Brothers and Sisters). Sundays, 10 p.m. Yay (#1 pick)
Family Tools – J.K. Simmons (Spiderman, OZ, Law & Order) has a heart attack and his flucked up son comes in to take over the hardware business. Leah Remini is married to him. Well, hopefully this will get him off of those stupid insurance commercials. It was funny at first, but I wanted him to do something else. So, this is good. I’ll definitely be looking at it. I like both him and Leah. January mid season replacement Tuesdays, 8:30 p.m. Yay
How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life – Way too long a title! It stars Sara Chalke (fake Becky – Rosanne, or Scrubs if you insist) as the daughter of Elizabeth Perkins (Weeds) and Brad Garrett (Everybody Loves Raymond). She moves in with her crazy parents after her divorce. Also starring Orlando Jones (7 up guy). I like them all! And, Ron Howard produces it! So, most definitely a Yay (January mid season replacement, Tuesdays 8:00 p.m.)
Last Resort – After refusing to fire nuclear missiles, a submarine crew hides out at a NATO base and dub themselves the world’s smallest nuclear nation. Starring Andre Braugher (Men of a Certain Age). Thursdays, 8 p.m. I think it could be good, but I just have no interest in submarines and nukes. So, since I’ll give it a Hmm
Malibu Country – Reba McEntire moves from moves to Malibu after she finds out her husband is cheating. Tries to get back into music and keep the kids squeaky clean. I might give this a chance because of Reba and Lily Tomlin. Starting November, Fridays, 8:30 p.m. Hmm
Mistresses – Four women doing the life, sex and relationship thing. Starring Alyssa Milano and Yunjin Kim (Lost). Also starring Jason George (who is currently on Grey’s Anatomy as Amanda’s fiance. They claim he’s going to California and the two of them will have a long-distance relationship. She made him promise everything would be ok!) Houston, we have a problem! Since this is going to be a Summer 2013 show, or possibly a mid-season replacement, the sexy Jason George could possibly be doing both Mandy and Alyssa. They are both ABC shows. And, maybe it’s just a fling with Alyssa until he goes back to Grey’s. But, end game I want him with the Nazi! Yay
Nashville – Starring Connie Britton (American Horror Story.. dammit, I was hoping to see you back on that in ghost form) and Hayden Panettiere. Also starring Jonathan Jackson (my Lucky from General Hospital) and Powers Boothe. Connie & Hayden are musicians. Connie being established, and Hayden is up and coming. While country music really isn’t my thing, I might dvr this just to see what it’s about. Wednesdays, 10 p.m. Hmm
The Neighbors – A family moves to suburban New Jersey and finds out all of their neighbors are from outer space. REALLY WTF? This is coming on Wednesdays at 9:30 p.m. Meanwhile all the other shows I really want to see are mid-season replacements. Definite FAIL ABC! BLEH
Red Widow (or Penoza)- After her mobbed-up husband is murdered, a woman starts doing his job in order to find out what really happened. Lee Tergeson (Oz and Army Wives) and Suleka Matthew (HawthoRNe) are a part of this show. I love mob shows, so I’ll be looking at this. Midseason replacement. Yay
Zero Hour – After his wife is abducted, the husband finds a treasure map which could lead him to her if he can find the clues. GMAFB. Midseason replacement BLEH
I need to note here that there is an untitled show starring Mary McCormack from In Plain Sight. A high-powered exec finds herself out of work doing the mom thing to her two teenagers. I like Mary and I like the idea. So, make it happen ABC.
