Which of These New Fall TV Shows Will Fail First?
If there is anything we can guarantee about the fall TV season, it's that at least one of the highly promoted network newcomers will fail to catch on with audiences and meet a premature end. Heck, it happens every year.
But which freshman series will be this year's This Is Us, and which will be its Conviction? Below, we have picked out some of the pros and cons facing each of the new broadcast series debuting between September and November
Pros: At least it's not another DC comics show.
Cons: Industry experts are already questioning whether a military drama (about elite Army helicopter pilots) is a good fit with its lead-in (Supergirl) or The CW in general, and the network may have a hard time differentiating it from the other new military dramas debuting this fall. The series also faces brutal competition in its timeslot, including another new action show that seemingly would go over better with CW viewers (Fox's The Gifted) as well as The Voice and Dancing With the Stars. Critics were unimpressed by the pilot.
