Big Shots
ABC --- Hour Drama --- Thursday --- 10:00 PM

Premise
In what many have described as the male version of Cashmere Mafia and Lipstick Jungle, Big Shots follows the lives of four wealthy men dealing with successful business lives and complicated personal ones

Note: Post-pilot, the producers have added Paul Blackstone (Dresden Files) to the cast

Familiar Faces
Dylan McDermott (The Practice),
Michael Vartan (Alias),
Joshua Malina (The West Wing),
Christopher Titus (Titus), Page Turco (The Agency)

Our Take
Thursday at 10pm is crowded with Big Shots competing against established dramas ER and Without a Trace. However, Big Shots does benefit from the fact that it has Grey’s Anatomy as a lead-in as well as a popular cast

Did You Know?
Christopher Titus’s previous experience has primarily been in sitcoms and stand-up comedy

 

Kitchen Nightmares
FOX --- Hour Reality --- Thursday --- 9:00 PM

Premise
This reality show, a spin-off from Hell’s Kitchen finds chef Gordon Ramsay bringing his abrasive personality with him as he helps to improve different challenged restaurants

Familiar Face
Gordon Ramsay (Hell’s Kitchen)

Our Take
There is a great deal of competition on Thursday night – especially at 9pm. However, if FOX has lower expectations, Kitchen Nightmares may be able to tap into some of Ramsay’s past success and become popular enough to survive under the radar

Did You Know?
Gordon Ramsay’s success in England led to him being awarded an OBE in 2006

Canterbury's Law
FOX --- Hour Drama --- Thursday --- 9:00 PM --- [Winter]

Premise
Elizabeth Canterbury (Julianna Margulies) is an attorney that will go to great lengths to help out her clients. Complicating matters is the fact that she is also trying to rebuild her personal life after a tragic loss

Familiar Face
Julianna Margulies (ER)

Our Take
Canterbury’s Law will be facing some tough competition on Thursday night. The timeslot will be especially problematic when you consider that Canterbury’s may be seeking the same female audience as Grey’s Anatomy. Of course, a lot depends on what FOX’s expectations might be for this show

Did You Know?
As it was recently revealed that star Julianna Margulies is pregnant, it is unclear how this may or may not impact the series
