TV Gal dives into the new season.
Byline: Amy Amatangelo
If you ever needed proof that I am here for you, look no further than the fall season. Each year I plop down in front of the TV and slog my way through the new shows. Sure, it's my job and I live for this stuff, but, let me tell you, that doesn't make it any easier to endure an entire episode of "The Mountain." But, really, it's much better for me to watch "Hawaii" than for you to have to do it.
Over the coming weeks, I'll be giving you full reviews of every new series, but for now let's start with the best and worst each network has to offer. (I'm skipping FOX for now since the only new scripted show the network has left to premiere in 2004 is "House" in November.)
ABC
Overall theme: Of all the networks, ABC easily has the best new shows, with only the comedies failing to inspire or break with convention. If these great new series don't pull the beleaguered network out of fourth place, at least they went down fighting while the other networks barely entered the ring.
Favorite: "Desperate Housewives" (Sunday) and "Lost" (Wednesday)
Least Favorite: "Complete Savages" (Friday)
