The new comedy Happy Endings joined ABC's midseason lineup in April, earning a spot after Wednesday night regulars Modern Family and Cougar Town. The series is about a group of six friends in their late twenties living in Chicago, starring Elisha Cuthbert and SNL alum Casey Wilson, along with newer faces like comedians Damon Wayans Jr. and Adam Pally. I've been watching the show and have been Read more

Looks like Undercovers is sticking around — at least for a little while. NBC recently ordered four more episode scripts of the spy series, which isn't as encouraging as an episode pickup, but it's not a death sentence either. But here's the question: are you loving it? The J.J. Abrams creation has a few obvious things going for it: besides Abrams, there's hot leading man Boris Kodjoe, and Gugu Read more

We've already touched base on a few of this Fall's new shows (just yesterday I asked for your thoughts on Hawaii Five-0), but how about Running Wilde? While the pilot was somewhat disappointing, I've been crossing my fingers that the show might improve. The comedy has great lead-ins with both Glee and the newest success of the season, Raising Hope. Even so, there have already been rumors of Read more

Monday nights are hot this Fall, thanks in part to new shows The Event and Hawaii Five-0. I've already asked for your thoughts on The Event, so now I'd like to pick your brains about Hawaii Five-0. Right out of the gate, CBS's reboot was one of my must-see shows for the Fall. It seems to be flourishing in the midst of the Monday night lineup and is hands down one of the "safe" new shows. So Read more

My regular TV show check-ins have begun, and after giving early evaluations to dramas The Event and Hellcats, I'm now going for a sitcom: ABC's Better With You. Better With You was one show for the Fall season that I saw a lot of potential in — despite its multicamera, laugh-track formula. I'd hoped that the combo of good writing plus charming stars JoAnna Garcia and Jennifer Finnegan would Read more

Fall TV is off and running, so I've begun my check-ins for the new series. Last week I peeked in at Hellcats, and today I'm looking at NBC drama The Event. As one of my five must-see shows, I wondered if The Event would be as compelling as Lost or 24, and so far it's doing a pretty good job. I was happy to see that big questions are already answered in the second episode (the "others" are Read more

Now that all the new Fall TV shows have premiered (with one already canceled), I thought I'd check in on some of the freshman series to find out if you've been watching. Today, I'm looking at CW drama Hellcats. The college-set cheerleading soap has had a few strong episodes since its pilot. Ashley Tisdale has proved she can be more than just a mean girl, while Aly Michalka is pretty charismatic Read more

My other TV show check-ins have thus far been about shows I wanted to champion, but this new show pretty much needs no advocacy: Modern Family. It's ABC's mockumentary-style comedy about three related families that regularly combine awkwardness and humor via their very wacky members. I've been following Modern Family since the pilot premiered, and loving it ever since. What's so great about it? Read more

I've already handed in my midseason evaluations for Cougar Town and Accidentally on Purpose, but another show that I've been following is Community. The lead-in of the NBC Thursday night comedy lineup, the show centers around a group of social misfits at Greendale Community College who band together to form a Spanish study group. Joel McHale stars as Jeff, the leader of the motley crew but the Read more

Last week, I did a check-in on Cougar Town to let you know what's so great about it, and today I'd like to mention another show that I don't normally recap, but have been watching and enjoying: Accidentally on Purpose. The freshman comedy stars Jenna Elfman and Jon Foster as Billie and Zack, a couple who gets to know each other and starts dating after she gets pregnant from a one-night Read more
