I believe that would be my vote, Studio 60

I'm looking forward to Jericho, Heroes, Studio 60...Strip, The Traveler (Midseason replacement), Six Degrees and 30 Rock.

I'm sure I'll be checking out the other shows too.

Here are some of the early reviews of the above shows based on their pilots:

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

The Nine

Friday Night Lights

Six Degrees

Heroes

Smith

Jericho

Kidnapped

This is a no-brainer. The Sorkin/Schlamme combo has produced, by far, the best television of the last 10 years. More than anything next Fall, I hope NBC gives it a fair shake.

I don't really recognize a single title.

Red Dog 07-08-06 11:35 AM

What else: Studio 60.

Jericho sounds intriguing.

Geofferson 07-08-06 12:07 PM

My top 3:

Studio 60
Heroes
Smith

Studio 60, because it seems like it will be more in the vein of Sports Night (which I totally love) rather than The West Wing (which I totally hate).

William Fuld 07-08-06 01:35 PM

Twenty Good Years

SuperBatMan 07-08-06 01:58 PM

Heroes.

Jericho is interesting, but I was bugged by the show's repeated use of sappy music (think Goo Goo Dolls-esque) and series of coincidences that happen in the pilot. That said, there's definitely room for it to grow (particularly with regard to the characters which need some good backstories to make you care about them...you don't in the pilot) so I'm looking forward to the second episode. Haven't seen Heroes yet but the premise sounds enjoyable.

Reading the reviews of most of the pilots for the upcoming season shows, I think the prevailing theme will be the use of coincidence as a plot device.

I watched the Heroes and The Nine pilots and they were both pretty good but I liked Heroes more. The Nine seems more like a movie and one of those series like Prison Break that leaves you wondering if it will be possible to make that last past a season.

Strange, I feel the exact opposite on those shows, but Sorkin's been good for television, so I'm definately tuning in.

lordwow 07-19-06 08:11 PM

Studio 60
Jericho
Justice (FOX) looks interesting as well.

I only watch a handful of shows on live TV anyway though.

Jimmy James 07-19-06 08:13 PM

I'll take:

Studio 60
30 Rock (if they haven't messed it up with changes)
the former Let's Rob Mick Jagger

I might sample others.

Achtung 07-19-06 09:45 PM

Definitely looking forward to "Studio 60" and "Heroes" (the latter sounding like a more "real" X-Men sort of plot).

Slowpc 07-19-06 09:50 PM

Heroes and Studio 60 myself.

I think that review is dead on

I'm most looking forward to Studio 60

GeoffreyL 07-19-06 09:58 PM

Jericho sounds pretty interesting. I really haven't heard much about any of these, so I will have to wait awhile to see what else sounds good.

Sir_Fireboard 07-19-06 10:20 PM

The Heroes pilot was great so I can't wait for it to start.
