In the first part of our fall preview spectacular, the TVgasm staff took it upon ourselves to hand out some reccommendations of programming that would do you good. In part two, we take on an equally important and challenging task; we point out the worst floating around so you don't waste countless hours finding out for yourself. As a bonus, we predict the series we think will be cancelled first. And for all of you network executives out there, we dish out some free advice in the form of ideas for pilots we would like to see on the air.
Friendship Favorites 2005
(AKA The Shows That Will Suck)
B-Side | |
 | Ghost Whisperer (CBS) - Jennifer Love Hewitt is the first problem here. But aside from her, I'm completely turned off by the red-state-pandering premise of a girl who talks to dead soldiers. This show will be awful, and even worse, Middle America will love it. You know it's gonna be on for like nine years. On the plus side, it's a perfect vehicle for those muted gray colors CBS loves so much. |
 | Commander In Chief (ABC) - This also looks amazingly bad. I've always liked Geena Davis (yeah, I know), but I think I have to finally put out my torch for her. To think that she won an Oscar... |

| Ghost Whisperer (CBS) - I read in an interview with JLH that she feels her breasts have a better career than she does. Perhaps CBS should rename this show The Breast Whisperer. I'd watch that. |
| Commander In Chief (ABC) - If we learned anything from Season 4 of 24, it's that CTU really needs to work on their perimeters. That, and any President who's not David Palmer deserves to be shot in the face. And let's face it: Geena Davis is no David Palmer. Hell, she's not even Charles Logan. (Although I bet her dick's bigger.) |
J-Unit | |
 | Freddie (ABC) - Not only should Freddie Prinze Jr. be punished for keeping SMG away from the rest of us, but if he is successful, we can look forward to seeing a lot more of those late-nineties stars of teenage coming-of-age dramas/horrors with pilots. Do you honestly want to see the likes of Andrew Keegan and Matthew Lillard dirtying our Tivos each and every week? That's what I thought |
 | Inconceivable (NBC) - I was going to use this space to tell people to stay off the Desperate Housewives/Lost bandwagons, but then Inconceivable hits me in the face. Even the prospect of Angie Harmon's to-die-for voice won't be enough to save it. Going in its favor is that you will now have an easy way to fit Ming Na (now a ripe 42 years old?!) and fertility clinic into one sentence. |

| Commander In Chief (ABC) - This show thinks it’s liberal, but I’ll bet you a shiny nickel it’s offensive to women 20 times an episode. Geena Davis will be all idealistic and pure-hearted and honest and I’ll vomit everywhere. |

 | Today (NBC) - Diane Sawyer has taken you down. She's lined up more great interviews this month than there are hairs left on Matt Lauer's head. Although I must admit there remains the exciting prospect that NBC could try to boost ratings through stunts like a live Katie Couric vs. Ann Curry celebrity deathmatch. |

 | Saturday Night Live (NBC) - simply unwatchable last season. And I'm very much hoping TAR8 Family Edition doesn't end up in this category when all is said and done. |
Pull the Plug 2005
(Which Shows Get Cancelled First)
B-Side | |
 | Surface, Threshold, Invasion - I hope it's one of the alien shows if only for the lack of originality. Some people say Threshold is good. Some say Invasion is good. No one says Surface is good. So yeah, that should probably go. |

 | Head Cases (FOX) - It's a legal dramedy. It's on FOX. It stars Chris O'Donnell. |
J-Unit | |
 | Surface (NBC) - With ABC, CBS, and NBC all coming out with alien dramas, Jeff Zucker will come out on the losing end (even if the show sounds the most original of the three)...and Les Moonves will eat his children. |
Kat | |
 | E-Ring (NBC) - This show sounds good in theory, and Dennis Hopper is in it, which is kind of neat. But apparently there’s a whole lotta paper shuffling going on in the Pentagon, and the show conveys that pretty accurately. It’d be one thing if this show had the cojones to take on the real government, but I just don’t see that coming from a major network show. |

 | Joey (NBC) - I said it last year and I'll say it again. |
