CBS’S VEGAS
Dennis Quaid is the man, but this
show is just plain boring. Old people will love it because old people
love everything on CBS. It’s the
old people channel. I gave this a
shot mainly because of Quaid, but
it lost me multiple times during
the pilot. It’s like Justified if Justified were bland, watered down
and poorly written. If you want
to see an amazing Western-style
show, just watch Justified.

ABC’S THE NEIGHBORS
I honestly had no idea what this
show was about. I saw it on my
OnDemand and turned it on. It
caught me off guard to say the
least (a family moves into a neighborhood occupied by aliens with
famous people’s names). I finished
the episode and I still am not sure
what happened. I laughed, but it
was just odd. I love odd, but this
was really out there. It was like a
single-camera version of 3rd Rock
from the Sun, and everyone in the
neighborhood was the clueless
squinty-eyed one.
NBC’S GO ON
Everyone loves Matthew Perry
and this series lets him do his
Chandler act, but it’s only kind of
funny. I’d only watch it again if
I’m really bored, the remote is really far, I’m feeling really lazy, and
it comes on NBC while I’m sitting
there. Not a ringing endorsement,
but it is what it is.
NBC’S GUYS
WITH KIDS
This isn’t hyperbole, this is the
worst show I have ever seen,
and I’m counting the time I
watched a VHS tape of me from
a school play when I was eleven.
This series shouldn’t just be
cancelled; the people who wrote
it should go to jail.
That’s it, folks. As a result
of this exercise, I’ve decided to
abandon watching anything on
the top networks. AMC, FX, and
the pay channels have the
best series by far.
