OMG, with few exceptions the new shows are more cops, military, C.I.A., etc. and all pushing beyong the boundries of the law. Are we becomming a warrior nation, intoxicated with blood, murder and dead bodies and total "gross out" scenes? What's with all the doom and gloom?
Present some balance, please! I would love to see some shows that just make me feel good, even for just a little while. Life is tough enough right now.

Some of these new shows look good, but to tell the truth, I'll take just about anything to get these so called realty type shows and American Idle, Dancing With The Stars, America's Got Talent and all those other piece of crap shows off the air.

All these shows is about blood and guts,cops, dirty lawyer, military, shoot'em up bang bang kinda thing. Wheres the entertainment in that? We see all that on the 5 o'clock news everyday!!!! Why is there no comedy shows, 30 minutes sitcoms that make you laugh and forget the ugly world out there? I think were all pretty tired of seeing everyday reality on TV. Sheesh, where have all the "good writers" gone????

Looks like a season of violence to me.
I thought we already had enough of it.

Lone Star and Boardwalk Empire are looking to be the most promising out of the bunch, but I'm definitely going to check out a few more like No Ordinary Family (live-action version of The Incredibles with Michael Chicklis? I'm in!), Nikita (because Maggie Q is awesome), Terriers (bromance!), Running Wilde and Raising Hope. The Event could be good, but I'm scared it'll be like another Flashforward. I hope not, but my expectations are pretty low right now.
The rest sound predictable: blah blah cop lawyer spy action violence blah. Not to say that I don't love all those...

Watched the Hellcats opening and I have to say I was pleasently surprised! Although I still think the lead character looks too old to play a college student, it was a cute and quirky show!

The canned laughter, the fat jokes, the actors themselves, were a complete turnoff. I had to change the channel after viewing this show for five minutes!!! I venture to say it will be a flop!

I have watched most of the new shows.Raising Hope is by far the funniest.Wilde and shatner show only mediocre at best.It's all about writing and actors interaction.The new dramas are all the same.Seen it before.Fox would be wise to keep Hope around.
