I agree and disagree. For these shows I currently disagree because from what I’ve seen they don’t deserve my respect, viewership, or time.  Maybe they’ ll prove me wrong Silent Bob.
1) Do Not Disturb (Fox)
Premieres: Wednesday, Sept. 10, 9:30 pm/ET
What it’s about: The fat kid from stand by me who married Rebecca Romijn  plays a womanizer who manages a boutique hotel in New York City.   Niecy Nash, best known from Reno 911,  is the head of  HR who tries to keep him and everyone in line, both up front and behind the scenes.
Why it’ll suck: Neither of the main actors have the chops to carry their own show.  Make this an ensemble comedy and then you might have more of a shot.  The previews haven’t even raised a smirk and if you can’t make me chuckle in the previews then you probably suck. Even The Big Bang Theory looked decent in previews
2) Eleventh Hour (CBS)
Premieres: Thursday, Oct. 9, 10 pm/ET
What it’s about: Jacob Hood played by the poor man’s Joaquin Phoenix (Rufus Sewell) is a special scientific advisor to the FBI who lends his sciency skills to criminal investigations. His passion and crusade is to protect the substance of science from those with nefarious motives. He is called in at the eleventh hour and he represents the last line of defense.
Why it’ll suck: It sounds like X-Files redux without the fun.  Based on the limited British series the show seeks squeeze the well dry.
3) Fringe (Fox)
Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 9, 9 pm/ET
What it’s about: An FBI agent  enlists an institutionalized scientist  and his con-artist son played by Pacey to help solve the mystery of people killed by a mysterious necrotizing skin condition. The deaths appears to be part of a pattern.
Why it’ll suck: Other than the hype that usually hurts a show,  the involvement of Joshua Jackson makes this show seem hokey before it even premieres.
4) Privileged (CW)
Premieres: Tuesday, Sept. 9, 9 pm/ET
What it’s about: Megan , a young writer with dreams of reporting on the rich and famous, moves to Palm Beach and ends up tutoring Hilton-like twins.
Why it’ll suck: Because the CW like its predecessor WB finds one thing which mildly works then runs it into the ground. An outsiders view of the rich and famous can  work for one show not four.
5) Stylista (CW)
Premieres: Wednesday, Oct. 22, 9 pm/ET
What it’s about: Eleven fashion-assistant wannabes suck up to Slowey and Zee through a series of challenges set in the world of magazine publishing.
