Fall TV Picks

CBS

Holy cow, CBS! Only four new shows?? This just shows how successful CBS's prime time really is. I'm already a big fan of several CBS shows: How I Met Your Mother, 2 1/2 Men, Big Bang Theory, Gary Unmarried, and Ghost Whisperer, and it looks like two more shows could make my list of favorites

NCIS: Los Angeles--Tuesday at 8

I don't watch NCIS-Wherever-it-is to begin with, so I'm not going to watch the new version. Not to say that NCIS isn't a great show--when I sold advertising, my clients liked putting their spots in that show, it's just not my type of programming.

Three Rivers--Sunday at 8

This show looks good, and it would probably be DVR-worthy for me......IF, and only if Grey's Anatomy didn't exist. It looks like a cheap imitation of my absolute favorite show. Good luck with that.

The Good Wife--Tuesday at 9

Carol Hathaway and Mr. Big--how can you go wrong?? This show looks really good and I'm excited about it. It's a show about how bad decisions can affect the lives of your loved ones in a very bad way. Plus I really like shows about strong women that have successful careers or are working toward a successful career. As soon as my DVR will let me (it only lets me program about a week and a half out), this show will be added!

Accidentally, on Purpose--Monday at 7:30

Jenna Elfman is back in a great comedic role, plus her funny friend is played by the Scottish lady that played Christina on Ugly Betty. This is a show about a cougar that gets knocked up after a one night stand with a much younger guy. She's in her mid 30s, he's in his 20's and the previews show a really funny blending of the two different stages in life and how we have to do what's right, even if it means big sacrifices.

CBS didn't have its midseason shows posted yet, or if they did, I didn't find it.
