Thread: Which new shows make it & which shows will not?

How long do you think some will last?

My NBC picks to crash and burn...
Free Agents, The Playboy Club & Grimm.
I think Up all Night and Prime Suspect have a chance.

CBS crash & burns:
How to be a Gentleman & Persons of Interest.
Unforgettable, A Gifted Man & 2 Broke Girls make the season (with Girls maybe not coming back) the CSI's may be in trouble...

ABC crashes...
Pan Am, Charlies Angels... not sure about the rest as haven't seen any promos.

I have a feeling that Person of Interest will be a blockbuster. Good cast, we'll see how the storylines go...

CBS kill shows that would still be hits elsewhere

2 broke girls has a real boost since they stuffed it between HIMYM and 2 1/2 Men. That will give it a chance to be seen for a few weeks, even if the retooled 2.5 men crashes.

I predict a failure rate of around 75%...

That's the typical yearly failure average, isn't it? Way to go out on a limb, Mike

Forgot about Fox... I hope Terra Nova lasts awhile ...

I have to admit that I am not getting a "warm & fuzzy" feeling about any of the new shows. Usually I can always find one or two shows that I am looking forward to seeing, and some years I have looked forward to checking-out as many as 5 or 6 new shows. Not this year! Of course, I am still not happy that CBS has been cancelling so many promising new shows that would be "hits" on other networks. Heck, I enjoyed The Defenders and Bleep My Dad Says (and both shows had 10M+ viewers) but both shows were yanked after their first season. Heck, shows like Cheers weren't immediate hits (they were low in the ratings) but given a couple years they improved (found the right mix of cast and writers) and developed a large fan base. Offhand, I don't think m(any) of the new shows will make it past their initial season.
