What Ever Happened To Fall TV Shows Being Good?

Alright, maybe this is a result of me getting old….(which is a completely different complaint)

But do you remember when networks would release their Fall lineups after finale season and you were generally excited to see all of the new shows? Well this year’s look terrible (and that’s me being nice). ABC, NBC, CW and CBS seemed to have flushed all of their good ideas straight into the can and come up with an armful of garbage content that we can only hope will grow on us. Seriously, this gripe is justified if you watch some of the promo clips below:

NO ORDINARY FAMILY – ABC

Wow… someone actually tried to promote this shows by saying it’s a cross between The Incredibles and Heroes…. Effen Liar!

THE CAPE – NBC

So…. you took all of the bad writers that made Heroes fail after the first season and gave them jobs on this show?

BLUE BLOODS – CBS

Oh My Gawd! Listen to what Tom Selleck actually says in the beginning,”This show is very exciting. It’s got plots….” I might watch an episode of this just to marvel at the legendary stache.

OFF THE MAP – ABC

More doctors… more drama…. I’m sick of it.

NIKITA – CW

CW exec says, “shit… we suck and people are starting to notice”

CW hotshot deuchebag producer says, “I’ve read on the Internet once that people used to like this show called Nikita about a euro-chick-spy. My original idea of the century is… Let’s make the exact same show, but with an Asian girl! People love Asian girls!”

CW exec says, “I love it”

Ugh… I’m tired… Later
