CRISTELA
ABC, 8:31 p.m. ET
SERIES PREMIERE: This is a warning, not a recommendation. Give Cristela Alonzo credit for being part of this year’s welcome trend of casting minorities in lead roles in prime-time sitcoms and dramas. But then watch something else, because this sitcom, Cristela, does not showcase her talents, or those of any of her costars, effectively, much less admirably. My original notes when watching tonight’s pilot say it all: “Bilingual boredom: Unfunny in any language.”
