Jenkkitahtiin telkkaria seuraaville pari poimintaa syksyn uusista sarjoista:
FOX Network:
Raising Hope A single-camera family comedy from Greg Garcia (My Name Is Earl) about a family that receives an unexpected new member into their already flawed household. Stars Cloris Leachman and Martha Plimpton.
Running Wilde A romantic comedy starring Will Arnett as an immature playboy trying to win the heart of his childhood sweetheart, played by Keri Russell.
Lonestar From the creators of Party of Five, this Texas-based soap opera about big oil families stars Adrianne Palicki and Jon Voight.
The Good Guys is a comedy-drama series about an old-school cop and a modern-day detective
Bob’s Burgers A new animated series about a man, his family and a burger joint.
Terra Nova A time-traveling drama back to prehistoric earth from executive producers Steven Spielberg, Peter Chernin, Brannon Braga and David Fury (it has yet to be scheduled).
Ride-Along A Chicago-based cop drama starring Jason Clarke. It’s from Shawn Ryan (The Shield).
Noista näin alkuunsa kiintoisimmalta vaikuttaa ehkä toi Terra Nova suurien nimien ja kunnianhimoisen idean takia. Piirrettyjä en jaksa yleensä edes katsoa ja jeparisarjoja tulee jo ihan liikaa. Lonestar vaikuttaa ehkä epäkiinnostavimmalta, vaikka Jon Voight mainio mies onkin. Näin ennakkoa ajatellen noista sarjoista voisi pilotit tarkistaa ainakin Terra Novasta ja Running Wildestä. Mahdollisesti myös Ride-Alongista mikäli saa paljon kehuja.
NBC:
The Event is an emotional high-octane conspiracy thriller that follows Sean Walker (Jason Ritter, "The Class"), an everyman who investigates the mysterious disappearance of his fiancee, Leila (Sarah Roemer, "Disturbia"), and unwittingly begins to expose the biggest cover-up in U.S. history.
Chase U.S. Marshal Annie Frost takes you on a game of cat-and-mouse as she tries to stay one step ahead of the outlaws.
Undercovers is a sexy, fun, action-packed spy drama that proves once and for all that marriage is still the world's most dangerous partnership.
Outsourced is a comedy where the Midwest meets the exotic East in a hilarious culture clash
Outlaw Starring Emmy Award winner Jimmy Smits ("NYPD Blue," "West Wing") a new drama from Executive Producer John Eisendrath ("Alias," "Felicity," "Playmakers").
The Cape is a one-hour drama series starring David Lyons ("ER") as Vince Faraday, an honest cop on a corrupt police force, who finds himself framed for a series of murders and presumed dead
Friends with Benefits is a half-hour comedy from Oscar and Emmy winner Brian Grazer ("A Beautiful Mind," "Arrested Development"), revolving around a group of 20-something singles as they navigate the difficult, and often confusing world of dating.
Love Bites is an hour-long romantic comedy anthology series from Emmy Award-winning writer-producer Cindy Chupack ("Sex and the City"), featuring three loosely connected stories of modern love, sex, marriage and dating. Each episode contains multiple vignettes, all illuminating the theme of love with an edgy, irreverent spin.
Harry's Law Emmy Award-winning creator David E. Kelley ("The Practice," "Boston Legal") brings his unique storytelling to a series about fate and the people it brings together, starring Academy Award winner Kathy Bates ("Misery," "About Schmidt").
The Event vaikuttaa tykiltä, toivottavasti hyvin tehty eikä saa heti kirveestä. Meitsi on ihan sucker tommosille ison profiilin sarjoille salaliittojuonilla (Vanished, 24, Flashforward, Prison Breakin eka kaus...). Potentiaalia on, toivottavasti se käytetään. Komedioista Friends With Benefits ainakin vaikuttaa tsekkaamisen arvoiselta kun Arrested Developmentin nikkari on mukana tekijätiimissä ja yhtenä pääosanesittäjistä nähdään Fran Kranz (foorumillakin huomiota herättänyt Dollhousen Topher). Harry's Law'ssa on ainakin Six Feet Underissa todella loistavasti näyellyt Kathy Bates mutta se ei taida nostaa kiinnostusprosenttia itse sarjaa kohtaan tarpeeksi korkealle. Greg Grunberg tweettasi olevansa ihan innoissaan Love Bitesista, mutta koska sarja tulee Sex and the Cityn tekijältä, en tiedä voiko siitä oikein innostua (varsinkin kun Grunberg tuntuu aina olevan innoissaan kaikesta mitä tekee : D, hyvä näyttelijä ja hauska heppu kyllä ei siinä).
CBS:
Mike & Molly New comedy about a couple who meet in a weight-loss support group. Will be produced by Chuck Lorre (Two and a half men, The Big bang theory)
Shit My Dad Says (stylized as $#*! My Dad Says and pronounced as "Bleep My Dad Says") is an upcoming sitcom, based on the Twitter feed Shit My Dad Says, created by Justin Halpern and purportedly consisting of quotes from his father Sam
Blue Bloods show about a clan of New York cops who may clash over methods, internal politics and Sunday dinner, but they have one thing in common—they’ll stop at nothing to see justice served.
Hawaii Five-O an upcoming procedural crime drama series and a re-imagining of the original 1968–1980 television series. Like the original version, this one will follow an elite unit/task force set up to fight crime in the state of Hawaii.
The Defenders from the executive producer of CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, is an irreverent new legal drama about two fiery and charismatic Las Vegas defense attorneys. Tenacious, defiant and completely engaging, they argue the law, and they follow the law, but they always keep a few tricks up their sleeves. No matter what the odds, these lawyers keep fighting for the little guy.
Defenders ja Blue Bloods vaikuttaa sellaselta Law and Order, CSI, Cold Case, Criminal Minds yms yms tyyliseltä geneeriseltä peruskauralta. Chuck Lorre taas edustaa mulle sellaista perus hassunhauskaa amerikkalaista valmiiksinaurettua ja valmiiksipureskeltua sitcomia. Twitterkomedia ei vaikuta erityisen erityiseltä joten huomioni CBS:n uusista sarjoista kiinnittyy Hawaii Five-O:hun. Battlestar Galacticasta tuttu Grace Park ja Lostin daniel dae Kim ovat ilmeisesti jonkin sortin pääosissa tuossa remakessa 70-luvun jeparisarjasta, joten Hawaii Five-O on ainut joka erottuu muista CBS:n varsin laimean oloisista sarjauutuuksista.
ABC:
Mr. Sunshine starring Matthew Perry as a middle-aged sports arena manager facing his 40s. The show also co-stars the magnificent Allison Janey.
Happy Endings is about a couple that cancels their wedding – while standing at the altar – and how the breakup affects their mutual friends. Wide-ranging cast feature Eliza Coupe, Elisha Cuthbert (24), Zachary Knighton (FlashForward), Damon Wayans, Jr. and Casey Wilson.
Detroit 187 starring Emmy winner Michael Imperioli as it follows homicide officers in Motor City.
The Whole Truth a law drama that examines cases from both the defense and prosecution’s sides. It is set to star Rob Morrow (Numb3rs), Joely Richardson (The Tudors) and Eamonn Walker (Kings).
Better Together, formerly labeled ‘The Couple,’ tells the tale of two sisters in very different relationships. Witty ‘Friends’ writer Shana Goldberg-Meehan spearheading the project.
My Generation (formerly called ‘Generation Y’) follows the lives of former high school classmates in the decade after their graduation.
No Ordinary Family, a drama about a family that harbors superpowers
Ehkä laimein uusi ohjelmatarjonta isoista kanavista näin ennakkoon on ABC:llä. Ainoastaan My Generation herättää edes pientä kiinnostusta. Jos Happy Endings saa kovasti kehuja, siitä voisi tsekata pilotin. Onhan siinä ihana Elisha Cuthbert.
CW:
Hellcats is a pumped-up drama about a young pre-law student (Aly Michalka, “Bandslam”) whose world is turned upside-down when she loses her scholarship and has to join the college’s competitive cheerleading squad.
Nikita stars Maggie Q as Nikita, a spy and assassin who has gone rogue. She is now working to bring down Division, the secret government agency which recruited her. Meanwhile, Division trains its next crop of young killers.
Hellcats vaikuttaa juuri sellaiselta tyttöjensarjalta jonka voikin olettaa tulevan CW:ltä (Gossip girl, vampire diaries...). Nikitassa on mahdollisuudet hyvään sarjaan jos tuotantoarvot ovat kohdallaan. Iso nimi pääosassa ja suht mielenkiintoinen alkuasetelma. Valitettavasti vaan rasitteena remake-status. Täysin uutena sarjana olisi voinut toimia paremminkin. Nyt veikkaan että saa kirveestä heti alkukaudesta jollei ole vähintään täydellinen sarja.
FX:
Louie is a comedy filtered through the observational humor of Louis C.K. Each episode puts a spotlight on Louis' hectic life as a successful stand-up comedian and newly single father raising his two daughters. The single-camera comedy is a mix of Louis C.K.'s stand-up comedy and scripted short films.
Lights Out, from Executive Producer/Showrunner Warren Leight (In Treatment) and Creator/Executive Producer Justin Zackham (The Bucket List), stars Holt McCallany as an aging former heavyweight boxing champion who struggles to find his identity and support his wife and three daughters after retiring from the ring.
Terriers, from Creator/Executive Producer Ted Griffin (Ocean's Eleven) and Executive Producer Shawn Ryan (The Shield), is a comedic drama starring Donal Logue (Damages) and Michael Raymond-James (True Blood). It centers on "Hank Dolworth" (Logue), an ex-cop who partners with his best friend "Britt Pollack" (Raymond-James) to launch an unlicensed private investigation business.
Kaikki vaikuttavat tekijä/näyttelijä/juoni- osastoilta olevan vakuuttavaa FX-tasoa. Aika yllättävää kyllä että ei niin hirveän tunnetulta kaapelikanavalta puskee kolme uutta sarjaa syksyyn 2010. Mikään noista ei kyllä automaattisesti ole pakkokatsottava , muiden suositteluja odotellessa.
HBO:
Game of Thrones is an upcoming medieval fantasy television series for HBO based on author George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, with David Benioff and Dan Weiss attached to write and executive produce
Boardwalk Empire set in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the Prohibition era. Starring Steve Buscemi, the show is adapted from Nelson Johnson's book, by Emmy award-winning screenwriter and producer Terence Winter of The Sopranos.The pilot episode was directed by Martin Scorsese and he is expected to continue to be creatively involved in the ongoing production.
Odotetusti HBO:n tarjonta on kaikista kanavista lupaavin. Game of thornesia on odotettu valtavalla innolla jo reilusti yli vuoden päivät ja Boardwalk Empire sisältää tv-sarjamittakaavassa pari päräyttävän isoa nimeä (Martin Scorsese, Steve Buscemi). Molemmat sarjat menevät välittömästi seurantaan kun alkavat.
Showtime:
The Big C is a comedy about a suburban mom, diagnosed with cancer, trying to find the humor in the disease.
Ei vakuuta meikäläistä näin ennakkotietojen perusteella.
AMC:
Rubicon centers around an intelligence agency, conspiracy theories, and the number 13 as a key center piece to inside secrets the show will reveal. The series centers around various fears, mainly the fear of the number 13.
Huolimatta AMC:n omien ohjelmien tarjonnan vähyydestä AMC on tunnettu sitäkin laadukkaammasta tasosta (kanavan kaksi ainota originaalisarjaa ovat mahdollisesti juuri kaksi arvostetuinta sarjaa tällähetkellä televisiossa, eli Breaking Bad ja Mad Men). Rubicon vaikuttaa siis todella mielenkiintoiselta uutuudelta vaikka jo esitetty pilottijakso ei hirveästi kehuja olekaan kerännyt.
