Here's everything you need to know about these shows. Yes, that "everything" is based on nothing more than the couple of 30-second ads I've seen for each of them. Is that really a problem?
- Animal Practice. It's a workplace comedy set in a veterinarian's office. Wow, great concept. This show seems to have everything. Zany co-workers with bad dance moves? Check. Cute animals? Check. A randy lead actor? Check. Humor? Based on the ads, unfortunately no. Wouldn't you think that would be the most important thing to include?
- Go On. Matthew Perry is back -- again. Only this time, he's cranky. Not sold yet? Well, he's got a radio show. And, he's in grief counseling. Even better, it's group grief counseling. What's that? You still don't want to watch?
- Guys With Kids. I'm not going to say anything about this one. It just looks way too stupid. It doesn't even deserve a comment from me.
- Revolution. OK, I think I've seen this one before. It's Falling Skies, only without aliens. Wait, it's Lost, only they're not on an island. Hold on, I think it's The Walking Dead, except there are no zombies. Whatever. All I know for sure is that there's no power but everyone still has clean hair and clean clothes. Seems pretty realistic to me.
- Stars Earn Stripes. This is the only series that I'm actually tempted to watch. Why? Because Nick Lachey is in it! And Picabo Street! And Todd Palin! And Superman! Well, it's Dean Cain, actually, but that's close enough. Can you imagine what would happen if one of these "celebrities" actually died while in the midst of one of their missions? You'd watch if you knew that was going to happen, right? What do you say, NBC?
- The New Normal. The sidekick from National Treasure is in this one. You know his name, right? What's that? You don't? Me, neither. I'm so disinterested in him that I don't even want to Google him. Good luck carrying this series, buddy.
