Premise

Tom Rhodes is a long-haired, free-thinking teacher at a very exclusive prep school.  Tom's unique style will outrage his elitist colleagues while sending the student body clamoring to get into his classes

Familiar Faces

Farrah Forke (Wings) as Nikki Harkin

Our Take

Assisted only by the lead-in of Jeff Foxworthy (which has already been cancelled by one network), Mr. Rhodes may not be able to combat Melrose Place as well as Ink's predicted strength due to Ted Danson's established popularity

Expect to Hear

"I love the blues...My favorite blues singer of all time is John Lee Hooker...70 year old blues legend...I've been lucky enough to see him in concert four times...I've got 32 of his albums...and from what I can understand, he's having some trouble with his lady"

- Tom (addressing his class)

Premise

Something So Right is the Brady Bunch of the 90's - the story of a blended family trying to live under one roof.  Carly Davis' side of the family includes a 14-year-old son (Will) and an 11-year-old daughter (Sarah), both from different marriages.  Tom Farrell, Carly's latest husband, brings along his 16-year-old daughter (Nicole), the unwanted recipient of her new step-brother's fantasies

Familiar Faces

Mel Harris (Thirtysomething) as Carly Davis, Jere Burns (Dear John) as Tom Farrell

Our Take

Scheduled in the time slot between Mad About You and Frasier, Something So Right has a chance

Expect to Hear

"I'm going to the circus on Sunday with my dad and Heather and her ex-husband and his step kids"

- Will (expounding on the extended "family" he has inherited as the result of his parents different relationships)

Premise

Based on a popular British series, Men Behaving Badly depicts the continued bad habits of roommates Kevin and Jamie as the women in their life unsuccessfully try to change them

Familiar Faces

Rob Schneider (Saturday Night Live) as Jamie, Justine Bateman (Family Ties) as Sarah

Our Take

Neither Drew Carey or Party of Five have been blockbusters.  Accordingly, there may be some viewers available for this show considering its comfortable slot between NewsRadio and Law & Order

Expect to Hear

"I used to try and fudge things on my resume...then I found out the hard way people really check those things...It's just not worth the risk"

- Jamie (explaining his resume at a job interview)

Premise

After breaking up with her live-in boyfriend, Susan finds herself "single" for the first time in years.  Concurrently, Susan faces even greater challenges at work when she is assigned the task of working as an editor with Charlotte, a hugely successful and highly opinionated novelist

Familiar Faces

Brooke Shields (The Blue Lagoon) as Susan, Elizabeth Ashley  (Evening Shade) as Charlotte, Nancy Marchand (Lou Grant) as Nana, Philip Casnoff (North and South) as Eric

Our Take

This program has the number one time slot in television: between Seinfeld and ER.  On the other hand, Suddenly Susan does not appear to be of the same quality as Caroline in the City, the show that vacated the time slot

Expect to Hear

"Would you relax...Sean Penn looked happier in Dead Man Walkingr"

- Marcy (commenting on Susan's stressful demeanor)

Premise

While working as an aide in Congress, John Loengard discovers two closely guarded secrets: (1) UFO's do exists and (2) a secret project named Majestic has been formed to fight a possible covert invasion.  After briefly joining Majestic, Loengard realizes that their methods are almost as harmful to the nation as the aliens.  Hunted by both Majestic and the aliens, Loengard and his girlfriend Kimberly join an organization known as "Dark Skies" as they fight for the future of humanity

Familiar Faces

Megan Ward (Party of Five) as Kimberly Sayers

Our Take

It is always difficult to sell high concept plots, especially on a Saturday night when most of the younger audience is not home.  The older audience will, of course, continue to be drawn to Dr. Quinn while the family audience will most likely tune in to Second Noah

Expect to Hear

"The truth is over-rated...You just have to understand Mr. Loengard that truth has a price...You just have to decide if you're willing to pay it"

- Captain Bach (leader of Majestic to John)

Premise

Jarod is a genius raised by an organization known as the Centre to become a human chameleon.  For years, Jarod would assume various identities while being held in an isolated area of the Centre.  However, after learning that his simulations have been utilized to help terrorists and military coups, Jarod takes leave of the Centre in order to make amends for any damage his work has caused

Familiar Faces

Andrea Parker (ER/JAG) as Miss Parker

Our Take

CBS has a clear advantage with their high concept program (Early Edition) based on their established ownership of the 8pm and 10pm time slots.  Furthermore, both ABC and FOX have the ability to capitalize on established sitcoms

Expect to Hear

"Well, actually, I read it in a book"

- Jarod (explaining how he knew how to perform a unique surgical procedure while posing as a Doctor)

Premise

Samantha "Sam" Waters was the best forensic psychologist the FBI ever had.  However, after a serial killer murdered her husband, Sam fled with her daughter to rural Georgia.  Drawn back into the battle against evil by FBI agent Bailey Malone, Sam will find herself torn between a desire to hide and the need to use her skills to stop other killers.  Adding to Sam's dilemma is the fact that Jack, the man who killed her husband, is once again on the prowl

Familiar Faces

Ally Walker (Moon Over Miami) as Sam Waters, Robert Davi (Wiseguy) as Bailey Malone

Our Take

Walker owns the male audience while Relativity will most likely garner the female audience; leaving no audience left for Profiler

Expect to Hear

"This is not about Bailey..Look, you have to understand that he just...he just can't stand by and let someone die and not try to do something to stop it...I mean that's just not him...that's just not who he is"

- Sam (explaining to her friend that she does not blame Bailey for drawing her back into the FBI)
