There is no denying that the television networks have unleashed a bunch of mediocre shows this fall season. From garbage like a half-hearted reboot of
Charlie’s Angels to NBC’s insipid
Playboy Club and the overhyped bomb
Terra Nova, it is tough to parcel out anything of substance worth investing your time into. The best new show of this development season are unfortunately being held off to the spring in the form of NBC’s
Smash, a drama centered around a Broadway musical starring Katherine McPhee and Debra Messing. Having sifted through the new options this fall, I can recommend three new shows worth watching: FOX’s
NEW GIRL (Tuesdays 8 PM), FOX’s
THE X FACTOR (Wednesdays and Thursdays 7 PM), and SHOWTIME’s
HOMELAND (Sundays 9 PM).
