Kicking & Screaming is a waste of an hour of TV time that needs to be voted off the schedule as quickly as possible.

So, yeah, poop and pee jokes. Not funny. Not clever. Not worth watching.

The first couple of hours are very entertaining. Which isn't surprising, given that the show is basically just cribbed from a very entertaining movie. The question is how this premise is going to hold up starting in Episode 2 (which was not screened for critics).

It's very funny at times. It balances on the edge of comedy/drama and sheer campiness--reflecting the lives of Davis and Crawford. But it is not the sort of over-the-top, unintentionally hilarious portrayal that the 1981 Crawford film biography "Mommie Dearest" became.

The Arrangement gets off to surprisingly good start, and I'm interested to see where it goes.

Give it a couple of episodes and Crashing just might grow on you. But even if you're a huge Pete Holmes fan, you're more likely to smile than laugh out loud.

As a soap opera, Doubt is pretty good. It's filled with likable characters played by a nice cast and features relatively interesting cases handled by a boutique New York law firm.

The first three episodes are intriguing. Visually arresting. But if someone other than Hawley were running this show, I'd be a great deal more skeptical. As it is, I'm cautiously optimistic. With the emphasis on "cautiously."

It seemed new and different 16 years ago. Today ... it sort of feels like more of the same. Even without Jack Bauer.

It's a good premise, but it's almost painfully unfunny. This is super disappointing.

It's pretty funny. The pilot episode isn't hilarious, but it's amusing. And it has plenty of potential to turn into a really good show.

The remake's biggest flaw is that it isn't funny. There are tears, but there isn't much in the way of laughs. Lifetime's Beaches isn't bad. For a TV movie, it's pretty good. And if you haven't seen the original, you'll like the remake more. But the younger generation is smart enough to know that the original is better.

The Mick knows what it is. Knows what it wants to be. And it is pretty uncompromising about that ... although there actually are some warm and fuzzy moments in late episodes. There are also some genuine laughs. Although, after having seen the first four episodes, there aren't as many as there should be.

It's all very gritty and unglamorous. Well, as unglamorous as a show interspersed with musical numbers can be. And the musical numbers are very entertaining. But Star is filled with lowest-common denominator dialogue.

There's entertainment value here for Carey fans, of course. But if you're not a fan, Mariah's World certainly isn't going to turn you into one.

It's all predictable, syrupy and--at times--just downright stupid. Among the worst moments is the appearance of Parton herself.

Incorporated looks great. It's intriguing and has moments of excitement, but lapses into tedious scenes that'll make you want to hit the the fast-forward button on the remote.

It doesn't feel like a reunion, it feels like we've been away and we're rejoining old friends.

It's weird. It starts quite slowly. But it turns into something rather interesting and quite funny.

Morgan dramatizes Elizabeth's life--he builds the narrative on a framework of public events but includes private exchanges and personal motives in a way that's entirely believable and doesn't feel in the least bit exploitative.

The Great Indoors isn't a great show, but it has possibilities.

There's something going on here. What it is is completely unclear in the first episode.

The movie wasn't that great. It was just sort of OK. The series seems to be in pretty much the same territory.

It's not great, but it's not bad.

Despite clawing so desperately to achieve quirkiness, No Tomorrow could work. It depends on whether chemistry can develop between Xavier/Sasse and Evie/Anderson. It doesn't quite work in the premiere, but chemistry can develop.

There are worse things on TV than Conviction, but this is a waste of time and talent.

The cast is great. The performances--particularly by Colter in the lead role--are better than the show, which sags in spots. It's solid, but not spectacular.

WestWorld is intriguing, but it gets off to a very slow start. Despite all the shootouts, very little happens in the first couple of episodes.
