Premise
A group of misfits plots a heist to rob the luxurious Central Park West apartment of Mick Jagger after the death of a co-worker pushes them to find a way to finance their dreams of opening a bar. What these amateurs don’t know is that finding the better person in themselves is the much richer target

Familiar Faces
Donal Logue (Grounded for Life)

Our Take
Knights is probably one of the more amusing sitcoms this year with a interestingly eccentric cast. Additionally, it offers a nice alternative in a drama-filled time-slot. However, this has been a challenging time-slot even for the best of sitcoms (such as Scrubs) and the show’s companion sitcom (Help Me Help You) is one of the weaker 06/07 sitcom offerings

Did You Know?
The original title for this series was Let’s Rob Mick Jagger followed by simply Let’s Rob…. The new title obviously opens up the show beyond what initially was somewhat of a limiting concept

Premise
The series centers on the lives of Dr. Bill Hoffman (Ted Danson) and six members of one of his therapy groups. While the members of the group all clearly need psychological help, the same can most likely also be said for their doctor

Familiar Faces
Ted Danson (Cheers),
Jere Burns (Dear John)

Our Take
As noted with The Knights of Prosperity, ABC does have an advantage scheduling a sitcom against a time-slot filled with dramas. However, the pilot of this show did not play as well as would be expected based on the initial network promo clip. Of course, they may always re-tool the show before it airs

Did You Know?
Past sitcoms featuring doctors and their troubled patients include The Bob Newhart Show as well as the short-lived ABC series The Trouble with Normal

Premise
Ray Liotta and his crew of professional criminals plot and carry out high-stakes heists around the country. This no-nonsense leader must make his wife believe he is going straight while he looks for one last big job to finish his criminal career

Familiar Faces
Ray Liotta (Goodfellas),
Virgina Madsen (Sideways),
Amy Smart (Road Trip)

Our Take
CBS has a strong, established Tuesday night schedule with NCIS and The Unit that should strongly benefit Smith. The producers have also filled the show with a top-notch cast. However, Law & Order: SVU and Boston Legal already have loyal 10pm followings

Did You Know?
Thieves have been the lead characters in a number of recent TV shows and theatrical movies including Thief (recently on FX), Heist (last year on NBC), The Italian Job and Oceans 11/12
