Only two looked possibly interesting. Both are apparently taken from the BBC.
I enjoyed watching both, if only out of curiosity for British vocabulary and culture.
Worst Week - although stupidly funny - didn't seem to last long. Not expecting the American version to be as funny or last as long.
I can't see the time-traveling cop thing holding my interest without the Brit aspect.
Looks like a good season to watch less TV.

The original Life on Mars from the BBC was a fantastic show. Incredibly well done. But the entire hook that made the show fascinating was the ambiguity between whether he had actually travelled back in time or was simply stuck in a coma in the present day with the whole 70s thing being a hallucination. Once I found the execs ordered that the ambiguity be removed from the American version, I lost all interest.

in that case don't lose interest yet, because in the preview we saw the ambiguity is still there, so maybe they changed their minds or just toned it down. it seems that one of the main points is that he doesn't quite believe it's happening.

Don't believe Australians can be funny? You seriously need to watch a TV show called Summer Heights High (by Chris Lilley) or its predecessor We Can Be Heroes. Seriously funny and irreverent television.

Love future snark! Yay! I'm not much of a show picker upper, and usually stick to the crap I'm already ingesting, BUT, I think the guy, or should I say kinda-shlub, in Worst Week looks beyond adorable!!! NO!? Is it me!? I hate it coz he'll make me love and want him, and I don't want to pine for a straighty!!!!! BoooooHooooo!!!! I'm just getting over that pining shit!!!! Can't I be Sinead and not want what I haven't got!

OMG love hole in the wall already! I love the human tetris clips on youtube. This is going to be the suprise hit of the season.
I think I am going to watch the mentalist too. It reminds me of csi, house and psych combined, all great shows. Im definitely giving it a try
