Looks like I'll be swapping Charlie's Angels for The River.

Charlie's Angels: This looks awful. I wasn't interested in seeing it in the first place, but it's nice to know I won't be missing anything.

Once Upon A Time: Funny that ABC and NBC both have new shows centered around fairy tales. This one looks pretty cheaply made though, but has a decent cast. Still, I'm not super interested by it, but won't rule out checking it out just yet.

Missing: Looks pretty generic. Even though I like Ashley Judd well enough, I'll probably pass on it.

The River: This actually looks pretty good, but I don't know if I want to watch a shaky-cam show once a week. I'll at least check this one out.

Pan Am: Again, no interest at all. Just because Mad Men was successful doesn't mean we need more period dramas. This and The Playboy Club (NBC) both look just awful to me.

Revenge: Eh, this looks pretty bad. Not interested.

Apartment 23: Not a single laugh during the whole trailer and I don't really care for anyone involved.

Scandal: I like Kerry Washington, but this didn't really do much for me.

Man-Up: Looks really bad, but I'll at least give them credit for not including a laugh track.

---

So all in all, I'll probably just stick with Modern Family on ABC and check out The River.

Also, what's with all these movie stars doing TV Shows next season? Hard to find work in Hollywood nowadays?

Ugh, The River. "Found footage" mockumentary type shit on a weekly basis. Not to mention that the trailer has countless people being knocked backwards by invisible forces, lol. I detest that style of filmmaking and I don't won't to see it infest scripted series.

Is that series meant to be titled Apartment 23? You have 24, but the title of the vid and the dialogue both reference 23. I kept expecting a move to apartment 24 in the trailer.

Missing and Once Upon a Time are the only ones that interest me. Pan Am looks like it's well shot but I don't find it that interesting.

Work it looks awful, who the hell green lit that one?

I don't think Missing has been shot yet. Ashley Judd looked like she was just narrating stock footage.

Already fixed Suburgatory.

Yeah, Work It is guaranteed to be one of the 1st axed in the Fall. Amaury needs to stick to action-themed shows.

Re: ABC Announces it's 2011-2012 Schedule

Last Man Standing: Looks pretty good to me. Is it being filmed in front of a live studio audience or is that a laugh track? Tim Allen: "And beyond!" Was that one daughter the girl from Justified? Looked like her, but I'm not sure.

Work It: Man, that looks terrible. I'm surprised someone actually read that script and thought it was a good diea.

Suburgatory: You had me at Alan Tudyk...and then I didn't see him once in the trailer. What gives? Looks like it could be okay and I'll probably end up checking it out since it's on in between The Middle (which I watch infrequently, but enjoy) and Modern Family (which I watch regularly).

Good Christian Belles: I love Kristin Chenowith and all, but man that looks pretty boring. No interest in seeing it whatsoever.

I just love that there's going to be a character on network TV named Ripp Cockburn.

Re: ABC Announces it's 2011-2012 Schedule

Oh, wow, I was all for Last Man Standing but after that horrible trailer I may just wait for reviews. That is too bad. It looks like Tim Allen fell into the 'Hank' trap that Kelsey Grammer fell into. Blah. And the use of that music was horrible.

I actually think Apartment 23 looks okay and I may give it a shot (Dawson as himself? ). Suburgatory actually looks pretty good. I may also give Scandal a chance (props for using Adele, too).

The River looks good...if it were a hour and a half film. How can they prolong the show to make it interesting for 22 episodes (and possibly beyond) and not have it coming out like Lost?

I dunno, if it catches on I could see them eventually locating the father and then continuing the show with different adventures.

Loved the Once Upon a Time trailer. I'll also check out Suburgatory and The River.

So, is Once Upon A Time what eventually became of ABC picking up the rights to Fables? If it is, that's pretty disappointing.

"High Concept"?!!??!

"WORK IT"

This high-concept comedy centers on two unrepentant guy's guys who, unable to find work, dress as women to get jobs as pharmaceutical reps. Not only do they pull it off, but they might just learn to be better men in the process. With unemployment an ongoing issue and women now outnumbering men in the workforce, the new comedy series "Work It" follows two alpha males who realize the only way to beat the current "mancession" and land a job in pharmaceutical sales is to pass themselves off as women.
what a HIGH CONCEPT COMEDY!!!
