The scheduling of Charlie's Angels is crazy. Up against The X-Factor, Big Bang Theory, Community/Parks and Recreation, and whatever The CW runs at that timeslot. Just about the entire audience who would be inclined to look at Charlie's Angels is split between all those other shows.
And yet, there's nothing else my DVR is set to record on its second tuner while the first is busy with NBC Thursday night comedies. So I'll take a look at Charlie's Angels.
You are not watching Big Bang, its been great this season. Good for Wagner. Poor Tim Allen and again a lot of shows that look like good movies, but not good shows on TV ie Revenge and Missing. College Football is the only thing I will watch regularly. Also, fuck Once Upon a Time and Grimm, just get the rights to Fables and be done with it. I doubt either one will be as good as Fables even if they half ass Fables.

Cougar Town and Apartment 23 will take the 9-10PM hour on Tuesdays between the fall and spring editions of Dancing With The Stars. That's approximately December to March. So, only 13 episodes for Cougar Town? Oof.
Originally posted by lotjxa lot of shows that look like good movies, but not good shows on TV ie Revenge and Missing.
Yeah, how is Missing a full series? Sounds a lot like a movie, as you said, or maybe a mini-series.
Wow- looks terrible! I don't watch a lot of TV, but rarely does my box tune to ABC.
Extreme Home Makeover to Friday? I don't like it. Maybe I am behind the times, and this has been happening for a while, but I always felt Sunday night was good for this show. A nice, heartfelt way to end the weekend.. I felt it had a perfect time slot.
What I will say looks bright-
Pan Am looks like it could be OK, but also could be terrible. We'll see
Last Man Standing could be a cool family oriented type sitcom if they work it right. I have no problem with Tim Allen either. I feel Home Improvement is unwatchable now, but when it first came out I enjoyed it. Maybe my age?
As stated before, a lot of these descriptions sound more like movies versus tv shows. While some may translate to good shows, I seriously doubt it, because every week we'll just be looking for the inevitable finale.. which won't happen..
I loved LOST so I'm going to give Once Upon A Time a shot. But I admit that I was turned off a bit by the trailer. It starts off really good with the girl arriving in the town of Storybrooke and then just goes everywhere in a weird disoriented way that's hard to make sense out of what the show is going to be.

I agree the trailer looks odd and it wasn't what I expected. I am expecting that were going to be getting some strange choices for the fairy tale creatures and who they turned into. The logical way would be we get a guy who hates kids and runs the local school like Hitler and he ends up being Peter Pan. Knowing them watch Peter Pan be the town junky getting high on " pixie dust"
Dont say its not worth it, when you can sleep with no fear, that kind of time is worth any thing.- FFX

Undergrads for the win! Made for MTV; ran on Comedy Central Sunday nights forever until [Adult Swim] killed that cartoon block off. Such an underrated show.
