Fall TV

Thanks to ketzl for posting her list of new and returning fall TV shows of interest. Here are a few other new shows I'm curious enough about to add Tivo Season Passes:

• Eleventh Hour: "He's on a crusade to protect the world of science from those who want to abuse and misuse scientific discoveries and breakthroughs for their own gain." I know I'm just setting myself up for disappointment but that does sound kinda cool.
• My Own Worst Enemy: Christian Slater has multiple personalities. Hey, remember Christian Slater? Good times.
• Crusoe: I'm hoping this isn't going to stick too close to the novel, because frankly it was kind of boring. On the other hand, I'm also dreading how they might "spice it up" (Harlem Globetrotters, maybe?). But, the cast includes Sam Neill, and he's always worth watching. (Presumably he'll be a cuckold as usual.)
• Worst Week: I love the other three sitcoms in CBS's Monday night line-up, so I'll give this a shot. But I hope they don't have Kurtwood Smith making more "my foot in your ass" jokes.
• Gary Unmarried: Another CBS sitcom. Jay Mohr is kind of a tool these days, but I liked Paula Marshall in Hidden Hills, Out of Practice, and, yes, full-frontal nudity in Californication.
• The Ex List: It probably won't be a gender-reversed Broken Flowers or High Fidelity, but I'm still slightly intrigued.

There's also Starter Wife, which isn't exactly a new show—it started as a miniseries last season. I enjoyed the first two hours, and the rest is waiting on my Tivo.

Any other shows coming up worth checking out?
