Picks n’ Pans n’ Random Speculation
Elsewhere on the site, I have one of those "shows to watch out for" (in both senses of the term) pieces.
As I said, the show that’s most worth watching or most successful can’t always be predicted from the first episode, or the initial buzz. Remember in 2007 when the comedy to watch was Back to You, and The Big Bang Theory looked like another Chuck Lorre show that critics would hate? That’s the fun part of a season, maybe the most fun now that there are very few blockbuster hits: watching to see which shows will live up to their potential, which ones won’t, and which shows will turn out to have more potential than we originally suspected.
