Speaking of the fall season of TV, I'm already looking at all the new programs and trying to figure out which I'll try, which I'll try not to hate, and which I'll try not to hate more. So just in case they're not around later, I've come up with a few awards to them I'm handing out here, live, on the porch of Farmer Ted:
Most Anticipated New Show That Better Be On Its Toes Award: "30 Rock" (NBC) - starring Tina Fey & Tracy Morgan, but they gotta keep it tight.
Most Hyped New Show That'll Die A Slow Death Award: "Studio 60 On Sunset Strip" (NBC) - get the oxygen ready! This celeb heavy porker's gonna need it.
New Show I Can't Believe Slipped Through the Cracks Award: "Ugly Betty" (ABC) - weird concept with niche appeal. Hope it works.
New Show That Is So Not New It's Annoying Award: "'Til Death" (FOX) - nothing like following "Everybody Loves Raymond" with ELR II.
Most Kitschy Concept That'll Soon Be on Cable Award: "Day Break" (ABC) - Taye Diggs as a cop reliving the same murderous day? Oy.
The "Don't Quit Your Day Job" New Show Award: "Happy Hour" (FOX) - Newly divorced guy + boozer best friend + wacky neighbors = "You want fries with that?"
Critical Fave That Treads A Thin Line with Failure Award: "Jericho" (CBS) - Skeet Ulrich in a post apocalyptic cautionary tale. Hard to lighten this up.
Finally, the Old Show That Came Back From The Dead So It's A New Show For All Intents and Purposes Award: "What About Brian" (ABC) - even the high power creator J.J. Abrams had buried this one when it did a Lazarus on him. (Runner up: "7th Heaven" (CW)).
Happy watching!
