Premise
Killer Instinct features Graham (Johnny Messner), Ava (Marguerite Moreau) and Lieutenant Matt Cavanaugh (Chi McBride), a team of investigators working on the San Francisco Police Department’s Deviant Crime Unit. They uncover the secrets behind some of the city’s most unusual crimes and criminals, but can they uncover their own agendas that led them to work on the crime unit in the first place.

Where Have We Seen This Before
Criminal Minds meets Silence of the Lambs meets Profiler

Our Take
While crime dramas are the rage these days, FOX has yet to produce a successful one. Additionally, this time slot has always been problematic for FOX (with The X-Files as a lone exception).

Familiar Faces
Marguerite Moreau (Life As We Know It),
Chi McBride (Boston Public)

Premise
Grammy-winning singer Amy Grant travels the country to visit small towns to help make the dreams of deserving people come true. The title Three Wishes comes from the fact that she will be fulfilling three “dreams” in each episode.

Where Have We Seen This Before
Touched by an Angel meets Extreme Home Makeover

Our Take
Without a pilot to review, it is hard to predict how this series will perform. If the final product is endearing enough, it could follow in the path of Extreme Home Makeover. However, the jury is still out.

Familiar Faces
Singer Amy Grant

Premise
The realities behind fertility clinics are revealed in this new one-hour drama. The doctors at the Family Options Fertility Clinic are in the business of helping women become pregnant safely. The series will follow not only the patients, but also the lives of the clinic employees themselves.

Note: Despite appearing prominently in the pilot, Alfre Woodard will probably not be on this show as she is reportedly joining the cast of Desperate Housewives.

Where Have We Seen This Before
The short run series L.A. Doctors in a fertility clinic

Our Take
This is a show that depends heavily on the interaction between the characters. Considering that the pilot features Alfre Woodard (who will likely not be in the cast), but not Angie Harmon (who will be in the cast), it is hard to know how the final product will look.

Familiar Faces
Ming-Na (ER), Angie Harmon (Law & Order)

Premise
Brains and beauty unite and collide when Mitchee (Sara Gilbert) and Farrah (Molly Stanton), twin sisters with nothing in common, find themselves working together in the family lingerie business. The series also features their parents – another strangely mis-matched pair.

Where Have We Seen This Before
The movie Twins gets a sex change

Our Take
Twins will most likely fit in among the other WB Friday night shows. On the other hand, there are probably a dozen examples by now of Friday WB shows that did not make the cut.

Familiar Faces
Sara Gilbert (Roseanne), Mark Linn-Baker (Perfect Strangers), Melanie Griffith (Movie Working Girl)
