  • It's unclear why the choir enters competitions -- since they're so bad.  But they magically improve after a little bit of coaching from the professor.

Jennifer Morrison has joined the cast.   There are a bunch of new cast members
and it's confusing because we are introduced to them without any of the original cast
in the scenes, and, because this show jumps around in time, we don't even know what
time period some of it is, at first.  At least we know this show does this now.  In the
pilot episode, it wasn't obvious at first.

 Premieres            

-- Bob Hearts Abishola
  • A 50-yr-old owner of a sock business wakes up after having 3 stents inserted and immediately falls for his Nigerian cardiac nurse who is a single mom.
  • Favorable reviews call it sweet.  Harsh critic says it "cracks easy jokes grounded in stereotypes." 
  • It's OK.  I expect to keep watching.

-- All Rise
  • About the people who work at the Los Angeles County Courthouse, focusing on a prosecutor who has just been appointed as a judge.
  • It's very frantic so it's hard to follow.  It isn't pure drama -- the new judge trips on her way up to the bench on her first day. 
  • It has unusual twists.  It can be unrealistic at times but I will probably keep watching.

-- Bluff City Law
  • Another show with a woman named Sydney, who returns to work at her father's law firm in Memphis after her mom dies. 
  • She had been working to defend corporations, but now she's working on the other side. 
  • The father thinks Syd needs to learn things from him, but, of course, he is going to be learning things from her, too. 
  • Critics think we've seen all of this before and the only reason to watch the show is if you just love Jimmy Smits.
  • I could drop the show, but I'll probably give it a chance.

-- Prodigal Son
  • About a charismatic serial killer -- which is not my kind of show.  The killer had a young son when he was finally caught 21 years ago.  The son is now an FBI agent.
  • The FBI fires him and he's hired as a profiler for NYPD by someone he's known for 21 years. 
  • One critic said it's "So weirdly stupid that it might actually be good. Or, then again, just weird and stupid."  I agree with the latter characterization.  I'm not going to watch.
