Split up Perfect Couples



Olivia Munn is funny as the oblivious 'perfect wife' in a fake perfect marriage to apparent alcoholic husband

 Yet another sitcom about a group of married couples, the new NBC series is headed toward the same fate as all those before them. I’ll admit I laughed during the course of the debut episode, but it has some serious issues that keep it from being something you’ve gotta watch.

Fairly Legal fairly good

As is the case with most of the USA network shows, this new series featuring the stunning Sarah Shahi as a lawyer turned mediator working for her family law firm is quite good. I found myself enjoying the show right off from the clever writing early on and throughout the entire extended length pilot episode despite the fact that some of it is a little cliché and the show was nearly entirely about Shahi’s character Kate Reed.

The shoe fits for Harry’s Law

The new NBC dramedy Harry’s Law may be the best television series revolving around shoe sales since Married with Children. Actually, it is probably the only show featuring a shoe store since the famous sitcom left the air. That aside, this upstart series is, in fact, a law show that has a great comedic vein to it much like its star Kathy Bates.

Lights Out on the ropes

Watching the new FX series Lights Out about a retired boxer coming back to the sport after five years because he is broke is… well… like taking repetitive blows to the head in the boxing ring. Through the opening episode, there is very little that does not follow the stereotyping and overdone storylines of all the other boxing related enterprises of the past.

Diagnosis of Off the Map

The new ABC series Off the Map is decent, but obviously destined to be a duplication of Grey’s Anatomy only with this medical drama set in a remote tropical village. The setting of the show may be off the map, but the central premise is certainly on a direct path to being an emotion-driven relationship drama.
