Too bad they don't remake Odyssey 5. Only a couple things looked good.

I think 5 are either locks to be watchable (maybe even awesome) and should at least be given a chance to prove themselves:

Ill watch the pilot of Battle Creek just because of who is behind it. Frankly I am not sold on how long I will stick with it, not least because I am not a fan of the actors and the concept is pretty well worn, but it could easily be this season's Elementary which I expected to hate but learned to love.

I have heard of Gotham and it seems really interesting. I think, ironically, I would be more buzzed if it was from the CW than Fox given their recent history but a show themed around the Batman universe but following the ordinary cop Jim Gordan dealing with corruption and characters like the Penguin terrorising the city sounds awesome. How it pulls off basically being a Batman series where Batman is a secondary character because he is still just the young child just after his parents were murdered is hugely interesting idea and also likely its biggest flaw. Donal Logue is so good I would watch him in anything, conveniently helped because I like basically everything he does.

Last Man on Earth starring and written by Will Forte is one I will love and it will be super duper mega cancelled quickly. Or it will be a massive cult hit that will get massive buzz. Or both.

I like John Mulaney's standup and like his characters on the Show Kroll, so have high hopes for a show that literally looks like Mulaney watched Seinfeld and said "I could do that".

Marry Me will be hilarious. I love everyone involved.

You don't like Dean Winters? If you haven't seen the Allstate Mayhem commercials do a search on youtube. It will make you realize how good he can be in a show like that. He absolutely killed his two appearances on Brooklyn Nine-Nine. With who's behind that show, it should be a winner. Too bad it's on ratings demanding CBS.

I have nothing particular against him, mostly just a case of not seeing him in much. He was good in Brooklyn Nine Nine though, I agree.

Prior to the Mayhem commercials, his most memorable moment was saying "fromage" on the stand in TV court. SVU fans will probably appreciate that one.

"iZombie: From Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas and based on the DC Comic's property of the same name, this quirky drama centers on a med student-turned-zombie who ends up working in a coroner's office in order to gain access to gain access to the brains she reluctantly eats to maintain her humanity.

I'm sure he would have been if I had seen Oz, but I didn't.

Do you TV nerds seriously not remember Dean Winters from 30 Rock? Dennis Duffy always killed when he was on screen.

I have heard of the iZombie comics, so they must be really good given I am not a comic nerd.

BTW I watched Penny Dreadful's first ep. Thought it was decent, not great, not bad, had potential to rapidly improve. The ending was really good.

I don't watch every TV show ever made. I watch what appeals to me.
