Back In The Game on ABC Wednesdays

The high point of last week's new shows for me was BACK IN THE GAME on ABC. It stars James Caan as a curmudgeony, baseball loving father of grown divorced daughter with a son returning to live with him.

Yes, it's another show about a grown child returning to her parent's home, but this one actually works. The cast is great and the characters querky. It brings to mind THE BAD NEWS BEARS all grown up, right down to James Caan at his grandsons baseball game with a can of beer in a brown paper bag. 

It's on Wednesday nights,check your local listings. I mean it!

ABC This Fall

I just got access to two of the new shows for ABC this fall, Charlie's Angels and Once Upon A Time.
The Charlie's Angels remake looks pretty good. It has a diverse cast and as always plenty of storylines and funny costume possibilities.
I'm not sure what Once Upon A Time is about but it has something to do with fairytale characters being taken out of their stories??? Not to mention one Ginnifer Goodwin from Big Love. Could be good.

Check Out these videos and let me know what you think

Brothers and Sisters on ABC

Brothers and Sisters starts back tonight at 10 on ABC. I'm so excited! I really love this show. The only downside is that it is on the exact same time as Mad Men and so I am always pulled on which to watch Sunday night and which to save for the next day. I know life is full of these difficult decisions. I'm sure I'll muddle through till Mad Men goes on hiatus. What a sad day that is...
Anyway, I'll be watching a lot of TV tonight. First two hours of Ken Burns National Parks on PBS from 8-10 and then channel hopping between Mad Men and Brother and Sisters. And somewhere in there I'll be writing my post for Savvy Source for tomorrow, since school is closed for Yom Kippur, all though the school won't say that it's just some kind of teacher training day??? What's up with that??
Whatever, ohh maybe I can stay up all night watching all my shows since I don't have to get up and get the kid to school at the crack of dawn. Yeah!!!

Wednesday nights on ABC

I was just looking over the fall line up of TV shows and Wednesday nights on ABC jumps out at me. From 8:00 till 11:00 they've got a really promising line up.

It starts with a new Kelsey Grammer show, Hank. He plays a Wall St. executive who gets the axe and goes home to his small hometown with his family.


The Middle stars Patricia Heaton in a "quirky" family comedy. This may be a must watch for me.


Modern Family stars Ed O'Neil in a multigenerational family. I have a warm place for Ed, we use to hang out at the same bar, and though I never spoke to him, I did see how nicely he handled people taking his picture in the John.


Then Cougar Town with Courtney Cox, I did not think I was going to like this but based on the preview I think I love it.


And finally Eastwick, they say this is the third attempt to make Witches of Eastwick into a TV show. I don't remember the other two, let's hope this one fares (fairs, I have no idea) better.


It all start Wednesday September 30th. Enjoy!
