2:33PM: In an effort to prevent anyone in the TCA audience from getting accidentally knocked up, CBS starts the panel of by handing out ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE branded condoms.
2:35PM: Good news: ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE is not a rip-off of Knocked Up. Bad news: It’s simply a rip-off based upon a book of the same name.
2:36PM: Because nothing says ‘funny’ like a single, pregnant film critic about to lose her job, a TCA member asks if protagonist Billie (played by Jenna Elfman) will suffer the same unfortunate fate that has befallen many of her real-life film critic counterparts. Umm…. we’re gonna go ahead and guess no.
2:39PM: What’s the one downside of no longer getting to commute to the New York based set of UGLY BETTY? “I won’t be getting as many air miles,” joked co-star Ashley Jensen, being sure to add on a more serious note, “I had a wonderful time on UGLY BETTY, was very sad to go, but am happy to be here. Plus, it would have been kind of difficult to be flying to New York with this all inside me [Jensen points to her belly, which if you didn't know, is expanding rapidly courtesy of the little bundle of joy that's growing insider of her]” Adds show creator Claudia Lonow, “Expect Ashley’s character to gain a lot of sympathy weight.”

You’ve read his take on the most promising fall shows and least promising ones. Now, in what we promise is our final look back at the Network’s UpFront offerings comes our very own Ken Tucker in-training Aleks Chan, with a look at the shows that fall somewhere in-between.
ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE (CBS)
After the horridly ill-conceived COURTING ALEX, Jenna Elfman returns to the small screen as Billie, a San Francisco film critic who hooks up with a younger guy and – surprise – gets pregnant. Pregnancy as a premise hasn’t always worked, and the clips don’t really provide much hope that AOP will be any different, but Elfman is one deft comedienne, so if anything, it’ll be tolerable.
EASTWICK (ABC)
Also known as Charmed Lipstick Housewives and the City. Based on the John Updike novel about three women (Lindsay Price, Rebecca Romijn, and Jamie Ray Newman) who are imbued with magical powers, it looks as tawdry and superfluous as I remember CHARMED ever was – not that there’s anything wrong with that.

THREE RIVERS
According to the official CBS description: THREE RIVERS is a medical drama that goes inside the emotionally complex lives of organ donors, the recipients and the surgeons at the preeminent transplant hospital in the country where every moment counts.
According to this TV Addict: With apologies to his legions of dedicated, passionate and very vocal fanbase, Alex O’Loughlin deserves far better than a re-tread of a failed TNT medical drama (see: HEARTLAND starring EVERWOOD alum Treat Williams)
