Premieres             

-- Kids Are Alright, The

• About a working-class Catholic family with 8 boys (ages 1 to 20) during the 1970s.      It's told through the eyes of the 5th oldest who is 12. 

  ---

• It started out overly hectic, but calmed down.  It's seems like a version of "The Goldbergs", just with more kids.

  ---

• The children's theatre casting director is called Jenny in the credits.  

  ---

• It's OK, and might get better, but I doubt it will get past the 1st season.

-- Rookie, The

• After his divorce, a 40-year-old contractor moves to LA to pursue his dream of being a cop.

  ---

• One critic said it's a "sure-fire hit".  Another said it's an "ensemble with real potential." But another said it has too many characters and too many plotlines.  Another implied is just for Fillion fans. 

  ---

• There isn't anything special about this show.  I probably won't watch it.
