The one where Brian gets nothing right...

Two days in a row? It's a new record! Anyway, under the same premise as yesterday, here are the 10 (!) new FOX shows:

SHOW 1: Back to You
Guess: Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton play a pair of newscasters with an on-again-off-again relationship on a fledgling network that will do anything to get a bump in ratings.
Actual: "After an embarrassing incident, a big city news anchor has to head back to his old market, where he has to re-team with his former co-anchor, who also happens to be his ex."
Verdict: This was an easy one to predict, but as to the actual prospects: Grammer is paired back up again with Christopher Lloyd (no, not that one) who was his producer on Frasier. But FOX has never done the traditional sit-com justice, so I can't see it working here.

SHOW 2: K-ville
Guess: A group of bad-ass cops seek to restore order in South Central Los Angeles, forgoing official protocol and pissing off the press in the meanwhile.
Actual: "Two years after Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is far from rebuilt, a city full of criminals with an under-manned and unprepared police force. Two partners patrol the streets of the Big Easy, doing their part to save the city."
Verdict: Not a great prediction. But what a cast! TV has-beens, from the ominous presence of John Carroll Lynch, to Jared's favorite actor, Anthony Anderson…how could this show succeed?

SHOW 3: Kitchen Nightmares
Guess: No picture
Actual premise: Gordon Ramsey travels the country visiting restaurants in crisis and helping them get their kitchens back in order.
Verdict: Even for someone who loves the Food Network: Yawn.

SHOW 4: Nashville
Guess: No picture
Actual premise: The folks who brought you "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County" take you to a different part of the country for a whole new set of soapy unscripted adventures, this time focusing on the Nashville music scene and the city's high society.
Verdict: Um, you had me at "Laguna Beach." Sign me up.

Show 5: New Amsterdam
Guess: Not-Aaron-Eckhart stars as a New York City police detective bent on protecting young girls from sex offenders.
Actual: "John Amsterdam in the 17th century and served as a Dutch solider in the colony of New Amsterdam. That makes it really strange that in 2007, he's still working as a New York City homicide detective. Funny what a little immortality will do."
Verdict: WTF? Really? An immortal police detective who doesn't age? Don't you think someone would notice that this premise is absurd and WAY too high-concept for FOX?

Show 6: The Search for the Next Great American Band
Guess: No picture
Actual: "Instead of looking for undiscovered singers, the producers of "American Idol" seek out undiscovered bands. Everything else is the same."
Verdict: That last sentence pretty much says it all.

Show 7: Canterbury's Law
Guess: No picture
Actual: "A rebellious female defense attorney, in a strained marriage to a law professor, is willing to do whatever it takes to protect the wrongfully accused."
Verdict: Obscure literary reference? Check. Conventional law drama? Check. Midseason replacement to be endlessly plugged during the NFL playoffs? Check. Gone in 5 eps or less? Check.

Show 8: The Return of Jezebel James
Guess: PARKER POSEY!!!! And Lauren Ambrose to boot! After the death of their mother, an attractive young red-head goes and lives with her older, more mature, and attractive older sister and the two cope as working ladies in San Francisco.
Actual: "A busy book editor has to turn to her estranged younger sister to carry her baby."
Verdict: Closest I've been in a while. Um, did I mention that it has Parker Posey in it? She follows the Jodie Foster Corollary: She does not make bad movies/shows.

Show 9: The Rules for Starting Over
Guess: A young couple moves to the suburbs for a place of their own, but end up sharing their house with their two wacky neighbors, one of whom always wears a tie.
Actual: "A group of newly single friends learn that dating in your 30s is very different from dating in your 20s."
Verdict: So if Rashida Jones is on this show….how could she possibly be on The Office for Season 4? Either way, the cast includes "Johnny Sneed." That has to be a made up name, kind of like Alan Smithee.

Show 10: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Guess: This is a real toughie, but I'm going with a teacher of indiscriminate sexuality takes in a young ruffian student as hisher new protégé. They may or may not have a romantic connection.
Actual: Boy was I wrong. "Filling in the gaps between the second and third "Terminator" films, Sarah Connor and her son John, humanity's future savior, must fight to stay alive in a dangerous world full of threats both from the present and the future."
Verdict: Clearly, if I had read the title of the series, I'd have known what was going on. I actually have high hopes for this, and I haven’t even seen any of the Terminator films. It just sounds like it could be fun.

Stay tuned for later CW updates.
