Where I critique the Fall Sked NBC just released

Look, it's Matthew Perry and his new friends. Go On premieres this fall.

The schedule is as it appears in this Hollywood Reporter story. New shows in bold.

You can see trailers for every one of the new shows at this link.

And here we go ...

Sunday (post football):  Dateline, Fashion Star, Celebrity Apprentice, Do No Harm 

I don't really have any use for these returning shows.

Do No Harm is a modern take on Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde. BBC One did a great one with James Nesbitt and Gina Bellman in 2007, do we need another? I guess that's up to lead Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me). The show will ride on his performance. I'll check it out, I got nothing going on Sunday nights at 10.

Monday: The Voice, Revolution

The network is pushing for two cycles of The Voice each year, using a different set of judges. I hope one of those judges catches fire and they call him or her up to the first show to replace that nasty drunk Christina Aguilera. I don't watch reality competition shows as a rule, there's way too much very compelling dramas and comedies for me to waste my time.

Revolution is about a world where all the methods of creating energy are rendered useless. How'd it happen? Is it the end of the world? Who would have the ability to pull this off? Are they from here? Somewhere else? Will someone create a perpetual motion machine? It's from J.J. Abrams and action begins 15 years after this has happened. Apocalyptic aspects assured. Features Giancarlo Esposito who is coming off some great TV roles on Breaking Bad and Once Upon A Time. I'll check it out.

Tuesday: The Voice, Go On, The New Normal, Parenthood

Why can't reality competition shows just happen on one night? Rand Corporation, work on this, okay?

Go On. Okay I will. Stars Matthew Perry as a sportscaster of some sort. I thought he was playing a sports radio call in show host. I can't get an answer so I tweeted the source. There's just one other guy in the core cast which I thought was strange but I'm good with it. Perry's character Ryan Nolastnameatthistime has just lost his wife and these (photo top of post) I guess are the people who help him with that. There's also a grief group component. Scott Silveri from Friends wrote the pilot and exec produces with Todd Holland.

Bryan and David are a couple. They hire a surrogate to have a child for them. Ellen Barkin is someone's mom. And it's a comedy. Justin Bartha and Andrew Rannells (The Book of Mormon on Broadway) star in this comedy from Ryan Murphy. Nene Leakes is in this. I guess Nene as actress is gonna happen . I can't imagine how the throngs of black actresses waiting to be on TV feel about that. I imagine not so great. This and Perry's shows definitely make my own personal schedule.

Parenthood's back. I find I don't connect to this and Modern Family the way other people of my age do. Great cast, I'm sure they knock it out of the park. It's just not for me.

Click past the break for Wednesday through Saturday.

Video -- Two days and one hour until 30 Rock returns

I've been recording and watching reruns of 30 Rock for the last week in prep for the season premiere. When you see a bunch of episodes at once it really hits you that this is still the best written comedy on TV. It delivers laughs consistently in a way that a lot of single camera shows can't manage. Big laughs, not just smiling nodding stuff like if it was a Showtime "comedy."

(Not that I don't enjoy Nurse Jackie, it's just a different kind of show and, let's face it, not really a comedy.)

Can't wait to hear what happens with the whole Avery in North Korea thing now that Kim is dead. Should be fun to watch. And I gotta believe there will be some service paid to the Republican candidates by Jack Donaghy.

Tina and Jane were on Today this morning talking about the show and also their visits to the St. Luke's Hospital's maternity ward in light of the controversy over the Jay-Z/Beyonce "gift" to the hospital. I haven't seen it yet, I'll watch along with you.
