CBS may not have as many new shows as the other networks, but that's what happens when there are fewer holes to fill. The Eye looks toward Fall 2010 with five new shows on its first-half roster, and we've got peeks at all of them. Take a look and let us know what interests you.
The Defenders
Genre: Light-Hearted Legal DramaNotable Cast Members: James Belushi, Jerry O'Connell
It's Like... the world's top wizards got together and somehow created a potion that makes Jim Belushi kind of not annoying.
Time: Wednesdays, 10pm
Mike and Molly
Genre: Chuck Lorre ComedyNotable Cast Members: Melissa McCarthy, that guy from those pizza commercials who looks like the fat captain from Wall-E
It's Like... The Biggest Loser with a laugh track.
Time: Mondays, 9:30pm
Hawaii Five-O
Genre: Tropical Action DramaNotable Cast Members: Alex O'Loughlin, Scott Caan, Daniel Dae Kim, Grace Park, Hawaii
It's NOT Like... Yo Daddy's Hawaii Five-O!!!
Time: Mondays, 10pm
$#*! My Dad Says
Genre: Twitter-Based ComedyNotable Cast Members: William Shatner
It's Like... Someone thought it was a good idea to make a show based on someone's Twitter account when in reality that's a horrible idea.
Time: Thursdays, 8:30pm
Blue Bloods
Genre: Family Cop DramaNotable Cast Members: Tom Selleck, Marky Mark's brother, Tom Selleck's mustache
It's Like... a network reverse version of The Sopranos.
Time: Fridays, 10pm
Which of these shows will you be watching?
Why aren't these preview videos available to the UK? Anyone would think you don;t want us to download the torrents of your TV shows.
Some look like really good shows, to bad they are on CBS because they will probably just get cancelled anyway so I personally won't watch just to get hooked on a new show than have it gone like they are known to do.
call me insane, but I'm looking forward to that twitter show. Just to see whether it's axed after pilot or not though
All except for Mike and Molly! Defenders will fill the hole that Las Vegas left. Hawaii Five-O looks good, I've been wanting to see Scott Caan in a series. Sh#t My Dad Says, what can I say, it's William Shatner. Mike and Molly I really could care less about. And I was hoping Tom Selleck would do something else!
cbs' upfront stinks
Defenders? Yes. Looks fun! Mike & Molly? Maybe. Chuck Lorre is pretty talented. Hawaii Five O? Mmm. Yes. I'll give it a shot. Sh#t my Dad says? NO! HELL NO! Can't make me. Blue Bloods? Uh.. the preview.. not so good. Not inspiring. Might have to watch the first episode just to get a better sense of it.
You'd think they'd learn after decades of television, they would know by now how to create a show that sparks people's interest. I don't see any in this line-up. Remakes are just *bound* to suck, and what's the deal with the Twitter-show? I can't even get interested in that in real life.
Well, since Numb3rs is cancelled, I guess I will be watching Blue Bloods on friday nights
It will be interesting to see what they can do with S*#! my Dad says, but I don't expect much. I'm fundamentally against an Hawaii Five-0 remake but I will watch to see that they don't assassinate their own original, and that they don't assassinate Alex O'Loughlin's career once again! Tom Selleck is so yesterday...
hawaii five O and blue bloods
I will watch Hawaii-Five-O until CBS cancels it. The rest of the new line up doesn't impress me.
Any chance of putting up videos I can actually watch?
I will watch anything with Tom Selleck. He could read the N.Y city phone book for an hour each week and I would watch. Not so with Shatner. That show just sounds stupid. Hawaii Five-0, maybe. Hard to picture Belushi as a lawyer. That might be a stretch. Mike & Molly doesn't do it for me either.
I can't watch the videos so I don't know yet.
none totally boring
None of them holds my interest. Hawaii 5-0 is an all-time classic, it didn't need remaking, they should've left it alone! Alex O'Loughlin... no way....
Blue Bloods for sure! I may watch the first episode or two of The Defenders and Hawaii Five-O. My brain can tolerate only one comedy and Big Bang Theory is it!
"The video you have requested is not available in your geographic region." Kind of hard to give my opinion on the shows then..
Just what CBS needs more cop dramas and comedy shows.
Well, i will try them all out. See Watch ones will interest me the most out of the 5. This judgement have to wait until the fall. When they come on the air. I can't judge them by the preview cilps at all.
I don't know. Didn't see the clips yet...
I don't know why they aren't allowing the clips to be visible in Canada.
Now I see why they moved Bing Bang Theory to Thursday...it's so Chuck Lorre doesn't take over Monday like Seth McFarlane took over Fox Sunday.
Hawaii Five O! Alex McLoughlin! Maybe a show he's in will actually be successful this time...
Blue Bloods is the only show that matters. finally Tom Selleck is back baby!! why did CBS put it on Friday nites...the graveyard nite. I was hopin it would be on Tuesdays so us ladies could have Tom Selleck & Mark Harmon all in 1 nite :)
$#*! My Dad Says might actually be funny. As for Blue Bloods...maybe, possibly, probably, I don''t know yet.
Blue Bloods is about all I'm interested in, but I don't watch CBS as it is anyway.
