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: What better network to launch an X-Files spoof than the one that actually airs The X-Files? Stars Adam Scott and Craig Robinson both come from successful TV comedies and reportedly have good chemistry in the pilot, and the goofy, geeky comedic sensibility here (partially courtesy of Portlandia's Jonathan Krisel, who directs and produces) looks like it could be a fit with Fox's other Sunday night fare.
Cons: Fox's attempts at launching live-action comedies on Sunday nights are almost always unsuccessful. Creator Tom Gormican (That Awkward Moment) has no other TV experience. The setup-heavy pilot had problems (critics didn't seem to love it), and the series has since been retooled and partially recast.
Fox, Sundays at 8:30p starting 10/1
