|
|
Premise
Amy
Gray is a successful, newly single lawyer who
returns to her hometown to become a judge under
the watchful eyes of her young daughter and her
social-worker mother in this series based on Brenneman’s
real-life mother
|
|
Mix
the woman returning to her hometown plot of Providence
with Home Court, an old CBS sitcom about
a single mother judge
|
|
Familiar
Faces
Amy
Brenneman (NYPD Blue), Tyne Daly (Cagney
& Lacey)
|
Our
Take
While NYPD Blue has clearly established
itself in the 10pm time slot, Judging Amy
may be able to offer itself up as counter-programming
for women
|
|
Expect
to Hear
“Stop
looking for answers…formulas. There aren’t
any. Just trust your instincts”

FOX:
Tuesday at 8:00pm (Half Hour Sitcom)
|
|
Premise
FOX
is reportedly retooling past episodes of Ally
McBeal along with out-take material to form
this half-hour companion series
|
|
Ally
McBeal Lite
|
|
Familiar
Faces
The
stars of Ally McBeal
|
Our
Take
Depending
on how the actual product looks, this series will
benefit from the success of Ally McBeal
as well as airing next to the successful That
70s Show; not to mention that this program
is probably relatively inexpensive to produce.
Of course, NBC’s last minute decision to move
Just Shoot Me into the 8pm timeslot could
cause Ally some trouble

NBC:
Tuesday at 9:30pm (Half Hour Sitcom)
|
|
Premise
Mike
O’Malley is a single man who considers giving
up his non-committal, bachelor days after his
best friend decides to tie the knot
|
|
Where
Have We Seen This Before - Men Behaving Badly,
Secret Lives of Men, Platypus Man,
etc.
|
|
Familiar
Faces
None
|
Our
Take
This
program has a nice slot following Will &
Grace and will benefit from the fact that
although ABC will present a challenge (with Sports
Night), CBS is targeting an older audience
(with 60 Minutes II)
|
|
Expect
to Hear
“You
can skate drunk. That’s why they have the
glass up there - To keep us from falling out of
the rink”

UPN:
Tuesday at 8:30pm (Half Hour Sitcom)
|
|
Premise
The
story of three young irresponsible men living
off of an advance they received on a yet-to-be-released
musical album
|
|
The
Monkees meet Men Behaving Badly
|
|
Familiar
Faces
None
|
Our
Take
This
program faces a great deal of competition at 8:30pm
and leads into what will probably be one of the
weaker 9pm entries
|
|
Expect
to Hear
"So
he stole it hoping to get on ‘America’s Dumbest
Criminals’ because we could use the publicity”
-
Scott
(talking about how his friend Randy illegally
held on to a police tracking device after having
been forced to wear one based on a misidentification)

|
|
|
UPN:
Tuesday at 9:00pm (Hour Drama)
|
|
Premise
One hour series following the adventures of two
ex-detectives-turned-private investigators in
Las Vegas
|
|
The
TV series Vegas meets any one of a hundred
buddy detective series and movies
|
|
Familiar
Faces
None
|
Our
Take
Similar
programs have failed in much easier time slots

Our
Take
An
established character spun-off from (and following)
an established hit

I came to L.A”
