We are now about a month into the season, so it's time to do something most pundits shy away from - namely, looking back on how my predictions are playing out.
Here's a list of all the new broadcast shows that have been canceled. and what we said about them in our Fall TV Preview report.
Charlie's Angels (ABC) - As much as we wanted to like the pilot, we just couldn't. It's not just that it may seem cheesy to today's audience, but none of the Angels had any charisma. Prediction right on.
How to be a Gentleman (CBS) - Pilot was pleasant enough. Should do about the same as virtually any comedy CBS chooses to follow The Big Bang Theory. Could be hurt by FOX's X Factor. Prediction pretty close.
Free Agents (NBC) - This may be the worst comedy pilot we've seen in the past 25 years. The writing was bad and the cast had no chemistry. So bad, it makes the canceled Outsourced seem like brilliant comedy. Prediction right on.
The Playboy Club (NBC) - Pilot was nice to look at but surprisingly not fun to watch. Makes you realize how difficult it really is to do a stylized period piece like Mad Men. Prediction right on.
Here's what we said about some shows that might be in trouble.
Pan Am (ABC) - ABC should nourish this drama - the pilot was excellent. Should do better once the football season ends. We hope it lasts that long. Prediction right on.
A Gifted Man (CBS) - In this very weak time period CBS is placing its weakest show. Can it beat Chuck? Maybe. Would that make it a success? No. Prediction right on.
Whitney (NBC) - The star is appealing, but she has no chemistry with her co-star. The writing in the pilot was just plain bad, which is not a promising sign going forward. Prediction right on.
Prime Suspect (NBC) -Maria Bello has charisma, the supporting cast has potential, and the show looks like a winner. NBC needs to heavily promote this one. Prediction may have missed.
Here are the shows that are currently successful, and what we said about them before the season began.
New Girl (FOX) - This is the best new comedy on the schedule. The show has a very appealing cast. Prediction right on.
Suburgatory (ABC) - Sandwiched between The Middle and Modern Family, this one has potential. The pilot was good. Its fate rests largely on whether it can build on its lead-in audience. Prediction right on.
2 Broke Girls (CBS) - The pilot was quite funny. This female odd couple should fit in with CBS's Monday comedies, but we're not sure it can be maintained on a weekly basis. Prediction pretty close.
Most of the remaining new series are not yet clear hits or misses. FOX's Terra Nova, CBS's Person of Interest, and ABC's Revenge look promising. We were high on all three, with some caveats based mostly on questions concerning how the shows would be executed from week to week.
It is calculated by dividing the current assets by the current liabilities.
