Critics: Pushing Daisies Is the Best Show, Cavemen the Worst
I love checking out the results of the twice-yearly TV critics' polls, which help track which TV shows are on the rise and which, well, aren't in the eyes of critics around the country. The latest poll, which covers summer shows and the start of the current TV season, was just released, and ABC's Pushing Daisies made its first appearance on the list in the No. 1 spot.
What Did You Think of "Cavemen"?
The much-anticipated ABC comedy "Cavemen" premiered last night after months of speculation about how bad it would be. So, what did you think of the show?

TV Tonight: "Cavemen" and "Carpoolers"
Tonight's the night we've all been waiting for: the official premiere of "Cavemen"! I'm sorry, was that too much excitement?
Truth be told, I am actually curious to see the first episode of "Cavemen" tonight, if only because it's been totally revamped from the episode ABC sent to critics this summer.
Fall TV Preview: Five New Shows to Skip
All summer long, I've been giving you my first impressions of the networks' new shows. Now, with fall TV upon us, it's time to tell you which shows are deserving of space on your TiVo and which ... well, aren't.
Pilot Watch: "Cavemen"
The networks have announced their fall schedules, but which of the series will actually be worth watching? Throughout the summer, as I watch the pilots, I'll be posting my first impressions. A lot can change before a show makes it to air, so these aren't comprehensive reviews, just quick thoughts on how the shows look now.
Odds and Ends from the TCA Press Tour
I'm back from my first stint at the TCA press tour, and frankly, I'm awed (and a little baffled) by all the access we reporters got to stars, producers, writers, and even the top brass at the networks. Is there any other industry that would open its doors so wide to journalists — and give them food and cocktails in the process?
I've been sharing a lot of the news from the tour, and there will be more interviews and stories to come as we get closer to the fall TV premieres.
ABC Comedies: Cavemen, Carpoolers and Christina
Including Cashmere Mafia, ABC clearly has a theme for things beginning with C this season. Christina Applegate returns to the small screen in Samantha Who? as an alcoholic bitch who gets into an accident and awakens from a coma with retrograde amnesia which means she can function normally but can't remember her past.
TCA News Roundup: "Cavemen," 'Cashmere," and More
- One of the most hotly contested sessions of the TCA press tour came Wednesday afternoon, when the cast and producers of the much joked-about "Cavemen" took the stage. Reporters demanded to know if the show was preying on particular racial stereotypes, whether the show had any female or non-white writers, and whether Geico was involved in creating the show. (The answers: no, yes, and not really, in that order.)
- Regardless of how "Cashmere Mafia" works as a show, the leading ladies (Lucy Liu, Miranda Otto, Bonnie Somerville and Frances O'Connor) are going to look darn good.

Get a Sneak Peek of ABC's New Shows
ABC isn't giving us quite as extensive a sneak peek of its fall lineup as NBC did for its new shows, but we can still get a taste: In addition to a ton of photos of the new shows and their casts, ABC's put up brief video clips of its pilots. You can see the whole batch of them together, or you can just click on the name of the show in this list to go directly to that show's clip: "Sam I Am," "Cavemen," "Carpoolers," "Pushing Daisies," "Private Practice," "Dirty Sexy Money," "Big Shots," "Women's Murder Club," "Cashmere Mafia," "Eli Stone," and "Miss/Guided."
It's not easy to judge a show from a minute of video, but I'm going to try anyway.
