NANCY DREW TV SHOW FALL 2019 SERIES

Here are the five best and five worst network shows coming your way this fall: ABC And there are definitely mandatory demerits for wasting talent (youвЂ™ll soon learn of a certain FOX show that pulls off the hat trick of wasting Michael Sheen, Lou Diamond Phillips and Bellamy Young). In reverse, some networks really hit it out of the park and their worst show is probably the envy of another struggling network.

The grading is a bit on a curve-some networksвЂ™ offerings this fall are mediocre all around so their best show may be some other networkвЂ™s worst. I watched all the network pilots so you donвЂ™t have to, and picked the best and the worst show each network is debuting this fall. So itвЂ™s hard to judge a show fairly on its pilot alone.

Great pilots full of promise can beget mediocre shows ( Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip still breaks my heart a little) and average pilots can blossom into amazing shows (Hi, Parks & Recreation).

And as we all know, pilots are not always the best representation of what a TV series will become. While other content providers, like Showtime and Amazon, generally provide critics with multiple episodes of a new series to review, networks, for the most part, continue to offer only the pilot episodes. They were here long before this current boom of streaming content and my guess is they will be here long after some of them go quietly to the cyberspace in the sky. It may not get as dark and depressing as The HandmaidвЂ™s Tale and the comedy will be broader than AmazonвЂ™s Fleabag. Producing, on average, somewhere between 22 and 24 episodes a season, network TV is there for us week after week. Okay maybe not for every, but there are pure gems currently on network TV from the bombastic and delightfully outrageous 9-1-1, which returns for a third season September 23 on FOX, to the water-cooler family drama This is Us which returns for a fourth season September 24 on NBC (I know it went off the rails last season, but I believe in the Pearsons) to the hilariously nuanced black-ish which is back for a sixth season September 24 on ABC. For every clunky comedy with a grating laugh track, thereвЂ™s a 30 Rock. But for every dull, cliched procedural, thereвЂ™s a Lost or The Good Wife. But because of the onslaught of new shows that premiere all at once, network TV can get a bad reputation.

ThereвЂ™s something so comforting about network comedies and dramas. Hello, my name is Amy and I love network TV. The time when I have to come clean about my TV viewing habits.
