Honorable Mentions
BULL (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Melissa and Rebecca). “Thinking after he left NCIS I would never see him again, putting Michael Weatherly as a Sherlock Holmes-style psychologist in a court room is definitely all I needed to be signed up for this,” Rebecca said. Weatherly plays Dr. Jason Bull, the founder of a very successful trial and jury consulting firm. And he’s the man who knows how to get your client off the most heinous of charges. BULL will Tuesdays this fall on CBS. Watch the trailer.
NO TOMORROW (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Brianna and Luciana). “It looks fun and kind of adorable. Hopefully, it will take the sting from GALAVANT’s cancellation as Joshua Sasse returns to TV,” Brianna said. Part rom-com, part self-discovery series, NO TOMORROW centers around a woman who is regimented until meets the man of her dreams. He’s all about being spontaneous and living life to the fullest because he’s convinced the world is going to end in 8 months. NO TOMORROW will air on Tuesdays this fall at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on The CW. Watch the trailer.
THIS IS US (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Araceli and Luciana). “It looks real,” Luciana said, of the most-watched trailer coming out of Upfronts. “With real life issues and a great sense of humor. I’m in.” Indeed, THIS IS US looks like nothing else on television right now. It’s just a simple story about a group of people who are loosely connected through their shared birthday and their experiences. THIS IS US will air on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT this fall on NBC. Watch the trailer.
LETHAL WEAPON (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Melissa). Aside from TIME AFTER TIME, LETHAL WEAPON is another of Melissa’s favorite movies and she thinks the remake looks pretty faithful to the original. Indeed, the two main actors here work well together and there’s a lot of fun action, as well as emotion. LETHAL WEAPON will air on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT this fall on Fox. Watch the trailer.
PRISON BREAK and 24: LEGACY (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Clarissa). I must have been the only person who watched the original PRISON BREAK and 24, but PRISON BREAK in particular is probably my most anticipated new show. The chance to revisit the Scofield and Burrows brothers (especially after the series ending with Michael seemingly dead) is going to be great. And while 24 isn’t continuing with SUTHERLAND, the new star seems compelling. Both shows will premiere at midseason on Fox. Watch the PRISON BREAK and 24: LEGACY trailers.
MAKING HISTORY (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Clarissa). I enjoy quite a few comedies on Fox right now, including NEW GIRL, THE GRINDER (*sob* never over it’s cancellation), THE LAST MAN ON EARTH and BROOKLYN NINE-NINE. I found the trailer for this new series to be quite funny. Time travelling with funny guys is always amusing and seeing Leighton Meester get a chance to flex her comedy chops in such a ridiculous role is something I’m really looking forward to. Plus, the fact that the creators of THE LAST MAN ON EARTH are behind this is enough for me to give it a look. MAKING HISTORY will premiere at midseason on Fox. Watch the trailer.
THE MICK (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Rebecca). “Exactly 13 seconds into the trailer I was laughing out loud at my computer, and by the time it finished I was convinced comedy had not been born until IT’S ALWAYS SUNNY producers put Kaitlin Olsen on screen as the aunt you never want anywhere near your kids. ” Indeed, the premise of this show might be somewhat familiar (think UNCLE BUCK with a woman), but Olsen is a joy to watch on screen. Her comedy chops on SUNNY have always been spot-on, so watching her get a chance to shine in a new series should turn out well. THE MICK will premiere at midseason on Fox. Watch the trailer.
DOWNWARD DOG (TV Addict staff who are intrigued by this show: Rebecca). “At every moment of every day I am thinking about what is going on in my dog’s mind, and this show looks like it will answer my ponderings in a hilarious and endearing way,” Rebecca said. The dog, Martin, takes the place of the narrator of this show, which looks like the doggie version of LOOK WHO’S TALKING. He’s humorous, but there’s also an underlying emotion here that animal lovers should enjoy. DOWNWARD DOG will premiere at midseason on ABC. Watch the trailer.
