Thank you all for the heads-up. I had a feeling "Hawaii Five-0" and "The Defenders" would be awful, and you've confirmed that fact.

No matter what anyone thinks of the Dick Wolf L&O franchise, they are still the best written one hour non-cable shows on tv. Amazing guest stars and always interesting plots. I have many friends who watch rerun after rerun of these shows on cable, and never tire of them. I'm hoping L&O LA is as good as its NYC relatives.

I'm giving "Raising Hope" and "Running Wilde" a chance because of the casts; the premises are totally crazy, but who knows...

I'm still furious with CBS for canning "New Adventures of Old Christine"; Tom B. will agree with me that this was one of the best cast comedies in the past few years. Julia Louis Dreyfus and Wanda Sykes were spot-on perfect foils, but apparently CBS would rather go with a junky replacement than give this show a pardon. We'll see how that goes.

Thanks again. Once the shows begin and have had a little time to shake out, it would be great to have you all give a second glance at who is succeeding, and who is being yanked.

Are you kidding me? "Boardwalk Empire" I was looking forward to, but of all the new shows, what does it say that the only thing that has any appeal for me is dunh-dunh L&O LA?

Shouldn't cable-fear drive networks to create more original programming?

Shouldn't the plethora of reality programming yield a bumper crop of available, talented writers for the few scripted shows produced?

Guess I'll have more time to stream NetFlix programming while I wait for "Curb Your Enthusiasm." Or, horrors, go outside for a walk.

Thanks for round up of reviews. Seems like more channels equals more trashy emptiness. Thank goodness for the few, lush oases uncovered by TVWW.

Can we get a summary?

Like, is there a consensus on these from your crew?

Honestly, it's too much to take in in the current format. I just read through it and remember almost nothing. It's a LOT of shows, with a lot of comments.

I know score cards suck, but how about a score card, with links to the blurbs.

[This page, as we said, is a work in progress. The next level of progress is to move it to three columns, where we'll have room for summaries -- so before long, that part of your wish will be granted. As for the grades, or a consensus? Nah. What fun would it be if we all agreed? -- David B.]

I've been following the TVWW Fall Preview since its inception, and this year's selection of new shows is by far the most dismal. 24 shows reviewed so far, and only one looks remotely promising, Boardwalk Empire. The rest seem to be, well, swill. I know there are more reviews to come, but I'm not holding my breath.

If it weren't for a few returning favorites, the promise of good drama on HBO and Showtime, and the now daily Friday Night Lights reruns, I'd cancel my cable service.

[Now you know how WE feel... Well, SOME of us, anyway. -- David B.]

I have agree with the previous posters that the Fall premieres previewed so far don't ensure a lot of enthusiasm. I won't be throwing out my TV yet though. There are still many shows that I have heard great things about either from TWW or friends that I haven't had time to see.

I am looking forward to a Fall of curling up with DVDs of Breaking Bad, Modern Family and maybe Glee. The TiVO will be glad to have a little vacation.
