2013-14 NEW SERIES DESCRIPTIONS

About A Boy � Based on the best-selling Nick Hornby (�High Fidelity,�
�An Education�) novel, writer Jason Katims (�Friday Night Lights,�
�Parenthood�) and director Jon Favreau (�Iron Man,� �Revolution�)
present a different kind of coming-of-age story. Will Freeman (David
Walton, �Bent,� �Perfect Couples�) lives a charmed existence as the
ultimate man-child. After writing a hit song, he was granted a life of
free time, free love and freedom from financial woes. He�s single,
unemployed and loving it. So imagine his surprise when Fiona (Minnie
Driver, �Good Will Hunting,� �Barney�s Version�), a needy single mom
and her oddly charming 11-year-old son, Marcus (Benjamin Stockham,
�1600 Penn�), move in next door and disrupt his perfect world. When
Marcus begins dropping by his home unannounced, Will�s not so sure
about being a kid�s new best friend, until, of course, Will discovers
that women find single dads irresistible. That changes everything and
a deal is struck: Marcus will pretend to be Will�s son and, in return,
Marcus is allowed to chill at Will�s house. Before he realizes it,
Will starts to enjoy the visits and even finds himself looking out for
the kid. In fact, this newfound friendship may very well teach him a
thing or two that he never imagined possible � about himself and
caring for others. Writer Jason Katims, director Jon Favreau, Tim
Bevan (�Les Mis�rables,� �About a Boy�), Eric Fellner (�Les
Mis�rables,� �About a Boy�), Liza Chasin (�Les Mis�rables,� �About a
Boy�), Robert De Niro (�About a Boy,� �Meet the Parents�) and Jane
Rosenthal (�About a Boy,� �Meet the Parents�) serve as executive
producers. �About a Boy� is a production of Universal Television,
Working Title Television, True Jack Productions and Tribeca
Productions.

The Family Guide - It�s not every family that�s brought closer
together by divorce, but then again, the Fishers aren�t exactly
typical. Take Mel Fisher (J.K. Simmons, �The Closer,� �Law & Order�),
for example. Whether it�s chopping down trees, showing his daughter
how to drive or playing football with his son, he�s never let the fact
that he�s blind slow him down. Then there�s Joyce Fisher (Parker
Posey, �Louie,� �For Your Consideration�), possibly the only mom in
Pasadena to smoke a pipe. For her, divorce is like a second coming of
age, a chance to be the teen she never was. Just ask �80s-obsessed
teenage daughter Katie (Ava Deluca-Verley, �Southland�), whose clothes
Joyce is always borrowing. At the center of all this is Henry (Eli
Baker), the Fisher�s 11-year old son. Having always been his dad�s
eyes, ears and wingman, Henry�s less than thrilled when Mel shows up
with Elvis, a guide dog� which is also how Henry learns about the
pending divorce. While reluctant to the changes this dog would bring,
it�s through the adult Henry�s voice-over (Jason Bateman, �Arrested
Development�) that we find out his parent�s split would �allow all of
us to finally discover who we needed to be.� Writer DJ Nash (�Up All
Night,� �Guys with Kids�), Jason Bateman and Jim Garavente serve as
executive producers. �The Family Guide� is a production of Universal
Television and Aggregate Films.

The Michael J. Fox Show � Look who�s making the news again. One of New
York�s most beloved news anchors, Mike Henry (Michael J. Fox, �Spin
City,� �Family Ties�), put his career on hold to spend more time with
his family and focus on his health after he was diagnosed with
Parkinson�s disease. But five years later, with the kids busy growing
up and Mike growing restless, it just might be time for him to get
back to work. Having never wanted Mike to leave in the first place,
his old boss Harris Green (Wendell Pierce, �The Wire,� �Treme�) jumped
at the chance to get him back on TV. The trick, as it�s always been,
was to make Mike think it was his idea. Now the plan is in motion and
Mike will be back to juggling home, family, and career � just like the
old days, but only better. Writer Sam Laybourne (�Cougar Town�),
director Will Gluck (�Easy A,� �Friends with Benefits�) and Fox serve
as executive producers. �The Michael J. Fox Show� is a production of
Sony Pictures Television and Olive Bridge Entertainment.

Sean Saves The World � Sean (Sean P. Hayes, �Will & Grace�) is a
divorced gay dad who juggles a lot � his successful but demanding
career, offbeat employees, pushy mom Lorna (Linda Lavin, �Alice�) and
weekends with his teenage daughter, Ellie (Sami Isler). So when she
moves in full-time, it�s a whole new world. Never one to do anything
halfway, Sean�s intent on being the best dad ever, so he loads up on
parenting how-to books and plans Pinterest-worthy family dinners. But
it seems his company�s new owner has decided Sean and his team should
work longer hours, putting a damper on his homemaking plans and
throwing a kink in Sean�s perfectly constructed work/life balance.
Ellie sees this development as a plus. She loves her dad, but he�s
clearly going overboard. From keeping his boss happy, employees
motivated and enduring his mother�s tactless �advice� to raising a
smart, grounded and healthy kid, it�s going to be a growing
experience, to say the least. But if anyone can handle it all, it�s
Sean. Thomas Lennon (�Reno 911�), Lindsay Sloane (�Weeds�) and Echo
Kellum (�Ben and Kate�) also star. Writer Victor Fresco (�Go On,� �Mad
About You�), director James Burrows (�Friends,� �The Big Bang
Theory�), Sean P. Hayes (�Hot in Cleveland,� �Grimm�) and Todd
Milliner (�Hot in Cleveland,� �Grimm�) serve as executive producers.
�Sean Saves the World� is a production of Universal Television and
Hazy Mills Productions.

Undateable - When confident slacker Danny Beeman (Chris D�Elia,
�Whitney,� �Glory Daze�) takes Justin (comedian Brent Morin) on as a
roommate, Danny unwittingly inherits Justin�s group of romantically
challenged friends. Seeing himself as the ultimate player, Danny
decides to teach the crew (who he dubs �The Undateables�) everything
he knows about �the game of love.� For their first lesson, Danny takes
the guys to an event hosted by his sister, Leslie (Bianca Kajlich,
�Rules of Engagement�), who is a single mom with dating difficulties
of her own. At first, Danny�s advice seems to pay off big-time: The
shy guy talks to a girl, the no-filter dude learns it�s never OK to
ask a woman when she�s due, and his nebbish roommate, Justin, goes
home with a mystery woman. It�s not until the next day that they
figure out it was Leslie. Here�s a refreshing comedy about the �do�s,�
�don�ts� and �duhs� of dating. Writer Adam Sztykiel (�Due Date�), Bill
Lawrence (�Scrubs,� �Cougar Town�) and Jeff Ingold serve as executive
producers. �Undateable� is a production of Warner Bros. Television and
Doozer Productions.

Welcome To The Family � Parents Dan Yoder (Mike O�Malley, �Glee,� �My
Name Is Earl�) and wife Karina (Mary McCormack, �In Plain Sight,� �The
West Wing�) find out on the day their daughter Molly (Ella Rae Peck
(�Deception,� �Gossip Girl�) is graduating from high school with an
acceptance to college, she announces she pregnant. Across town in East
L.A., Junior Hernandez (Joseph Haro, �Glee,� �Awkward�), in the middle
of his high school valedictorian speech, gets a text from girlfriend
Molly that he�s going to be a daddy. Expectedly, Junior�s parents
Miguel (Ricardo Chavira, �Desperate Housewives�) and Lisette (Justina
Machado, �Six Feet Under,� �ER�) are also upset, as they now have
Caucasians in the family. What follows is a crash course in culture
blending as Molly and Junior decide they want to get married and, in
doing so, bring together two very different families. The dads have
the most difficult time reconciling while the moms take a softer
approach to get to know one another. When the parents fully realize
that their kids are serious about making a life together, the adults
exhale and begin to come to terms with this new blended family and
start to understand it will take, humor, love and tolerance to make it
all work. Writer Mike Sikowitz (�Rules of Engagement,� �Friends�) and
Jamie Tarses (�Happy Endings, �Franklin & Bash�) serve as executive
producers. �Welcome to the Family� is a production of Sony Pictures
Television and FanFare Productions.

New Dramas

Believe - Levitation, telekinesis, the ability to control nature and
even predict the future� Since she was 2 years old, Bo (Johnny
Sequoyah) has had gifts she could neither fully understand, nor
control. Raised by a small group known as the �True Believers,� the
orphaned girl has been safeguarded from harmful outsiders who would
use her forces for personal gain. But now that she is 10, her powers
have become stronger and the threat has grown more dangerous. With her
life and future now in jeopardy, the �Believers� turn to the only
person they see fit to be her full-time protector. That is, once they
break him out of jail. Tate (Jake McLaughlin), a wrongfully imprisoned
death row inmate who�s lost his will, is initially reluctant until he
witnesses one of her extraordinary abilities. Bo sees people for who
they truly are� and who they may become. Tate and Bo begin their
journey, one in which trust must be earned. Traveling from city to
city, every place they stop and everyone they meet will be changed
forever. But they�ll have to keep going to stay one step ahead of the
sinister forces after Bo�s power� because it will take a miracle to
keep them safe forever. �Believe� also stars Delroy Lindo and Kyle
MacLachlan. Writer, director Alfonso Cuaron (�Children of Men,� �Harry
Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban�), Mark Friedman (�The Forgotten�),
J.J. Abrams (�Revolution,� �Star Trek: Into Darkness�) and Bryan Burk
(�Lost,� �Fringe�) serve as executive producers. �Believe� is produced
by Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot Productions.

The Blacklist � For decades, ex-government agent Raymond �Red�
Reddington (James Spader, �The Office,� �Boston Legal�) has been one
of the FBI�s Most Wanted fugitives. Brokering shadowy deals for
criminals across the globe, Red was known by many as �The Concierge of
Crime.� Now, he�s mysteriously surrendered to the FBI with an
explosive offer: He will help catch a long-thought-dead terrorist,
Ranko Zamani, under the condition that he speaks only to Elizabeth
�Liz� Keen (Megan Boone, �Law & Order: Los Angeles�), an FBI profiler
fresh out of Quantico. For Liz, it�s going to be one hell of a first
day on the job. What follows is a twisting series of events as the
race to stop a terrorist begins. What are Red�s true intentions? Why
has he chosen Liz, a woman with whom he seemingly has no connection?
Does Liz have secrets of her own? Zamani is only the first of many on
a list that Red has compiled over the years: a �blacklist� of
politicians, mobsters, spies and international terrorists. He will
help catch them all� with the caveat that Liz continues to work as his
partner. Red will teach Liz to think like a criminal and �see the
bigger picture�� whether she wants to or not. �The Blacklist� also
stars are Diego Klattenhoff (�Homeland�), Harry Lennix (�Man of
Steel�), Ryan Eggold (�90210�) and Ilfenesh Hadera (�Da Brick�).
Writer Jon Bokenkamp (�The Call,� �Taking Lives�), John Eisendrath
(�Alias�), John Davis (�Gulliver�s Travels,� �Predator�) and John Fox
serve as executive producers. The pilot was directed by Joe Carnahan
(�The A-Team,� �The Grey�). �The Blacklist� is a production of Sony
Pictures Television and Davis Entertainment.

Chicago PD � District 21 of the Chicago Police Department is made up
of two distinctly different groups: The uniformed cops who patrol the
beat and deal with street crimes, and the intelligence unit, the team
that combats the city�s major offenses, such as organized crime, drug
trafficking and high-profile murders. Leading the intelligence team is
Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), a man not against skirting the law in
the pursuit of justice. Demanding and tough, only those who can take
the heat survive under Voight�s command. Take Det. Antonio Dawson (Jon
Seda), for example. Despite a troubled history with his boss, Dawson
has ambitions of running the unit. If that means facing off against
Voight every day, he�ll persevere. From the street cops with dreams of
moving up to the elite crew who are already in, �life on the job� is a
daily challenge. Dick Wolf, Matt Olmstead, Michael Brandt, Derek Haas,
Peter Jankowski, Danielle Gelber and director Joe Chappelle serve as
executive producers. �Chicago PD� is a production of Universal
Television and Wolf Films.

Crisis - It�s field trip day for the students of Ballard High School,
a place that educates the children of Washington, D.C.�s elite,
top-of-their-industry CEOs, international diplomats, political power
players and even the president�s son. But when their bus is ambushed
on a secluded rural road, the teenagers and their chaperones are
taken, igniting a national crisis. Now with some of the country�s most
powerful parents at the mercy of one vengeful mastermind, the question
arises: How far would you go and what would you become to ensure your
child�s safe return? With so many parents and dignitaries put into
play with nowhere to turn and no one to trust, this unthinkable
scenario grows from the select families at risk to an entire nation at
stake. From writer/producer Rand Ravich (�Life,� �The Astronaut�s
Wife�) and starring Dermot Mulroney (�The Grey,� �My Best Friend�s
Wedding�), Gillian Anderson (�The X-Files,� �Hannibal�), Lance Gross
(�Tyler Perry�s House of Pain,� �The Last Fall�) and Rachael Taylor
(�Transformers,� �Red Dog�), �Crisis� is an emotionally charged action
thriller.

Crossbones - It�s 1715 on the Bahamian island of New Providence, the
first functioning democracy in the Americas, where the diabolical
pirate Edward Teach, aka Blackbeard (John Malkovich, �(In the Line of
Fire�), reigns over a rogue nation of thieves, outlaws and miscreant
sailors. Part shantytown, part marauder�s paradise, this is a place
like no other on earth, and a mounting threat to international
commerce. To gain control of this fearsome society, Tom Lowe, a highly
skilled undercover assassin, is sent to the pirates� haven to take
down the brilliant and charismatic Blackbeard. But the closer Lowe
gets, the more he finds that his quest is not so simple. Lowe can�t
help but admire the political ideals of Blackbeard, whose thirst for
knowledge knows no bounds. But Lowe is not the only danger to
Blackbeard�s rule. He is a man with many villainous rivals and one
great weakness, a passionately driven woman whom he cannot deny.
Writer Neil Cross, Walter F. Parkes, Laurie MacDonald and Ted Gold
serve as executive producers. �Crossbones� is a production of
Universal Television, Parkes/MacDonald Productions and Georgeville
Television.

(Rhys Meyers) has arrived in London, posing as an American
entrepreneur who wants to bring modern science to Victorian society.
He�s especially interested in the new technology of electricity, which
promises to brighten the night � useful for someone who avoids the
sun. But he has another reason for his travels: He hopes to take
revenge on those who cursed him with immortality centuries earlier.
Everything seems to be going according to plan� until he becomes
infatuated with a woman who appears to be a reincarnation of his dead
wife. Victoria Smurfit (�About a Boy�), Thomas Kretschmann (�King
Kong�), Jessica De Gouw (�Arrow�), Oliver Jackson-Cohen (�Mr.
Selfridge�), Nonso Anozie (�Game of Thrones�) and Katie McGrath
(�Merlin�) also star. Writer Daniel Knauf (�Carnival�), Tony Krantz,

Ironside - In the gritty world of the NYPD, no one�s tougher than Det.
Robert Ironside (Blair Underwood, �The Event,� �In Treatment�). He�s a
fearless cop who won�t stop until the guilty are brought to justice.
He and his trusted, handpicked team of specialists � Virgil (Pablo
Schreiber, �The Wire� �Lights Out�), Holly (Spencer Grammer, �Greek,�
�As the World Turns�) and Teddy (Neal Bledsoe, �Smash,� �Ugly Betty�),
as well as his former partner Gary (Brent Sexton, �The Killing�) and
boss, Det. Ed Rollins (Kenneth Choi, �Sons of Anarchy�) � will do
whatever it takes to solve New York�s most difficult and notorious
crimes. As a detective, Ironside�s instincts are second to none, and
those around him have to stay on their toes if they want to keep up
because when his spine was shattered by a bullet two years ago,
Ironside swore he�d never let a wheelchair slow him down. Writer
Michael Caleo (�Rescue Me,� �The Sopranos�) Teri Weinberg (�Ugly
Betty�), John Davis, John Fox, Ron West and David Semel (�Heroes�)
serve as executive producers. �Ironside� is a production of Universal
Television, Davis Entertainment, Yellow Brick Road Productions.

The Night Shift - Welcome to the night shift, where every day is a
fight between the heroic efforts of saving lives and the hard truths
of running a hospital. At San Antonio Memorial, the men and women who
work the wee hours are a special breed, particularly adrenaline junkie
T.C. Callahan (Eoin Macken, �Merlin�). After a grueling tour of duty
in the Middle East, T.C. is about to learn that his toughest battles
will be fought right at home. He and his irreverent team of late-night
docs, including Topher (Ken Leung, �Lost�) and Drew (Brendan Fehr,
�Roswell�), know how to let off steam with the casual prank or two,
but when lives are at stake they are all business. Unfortunately, the
night shift is now under new management and boss Michael Ragosa
(Freddy Rodriguez, �Six Feet Under�) is more interested in cutting
costs than helping people. But T.C. has never met a rule he couldn�t
break, or a person he won�t stand up to. And it�s clear that not even
his ex-girlfriend (Jill Flint, �The Good Wife�) who is a doctor and
now Ragosa�s second in charge, has a chance at keeping him in line. If
Ragosa wants a war, he�ll get one. Writers Gabe Sachs and Jeff Judah
(�Diary of a Wimpy Kid,� �Freaks and Geeks�) and Pierre Morel
(�Taken�) serve as executive producers. �Night Shift� is a production
of Sony Pictures Television.

Wrong, wrong, wrong, all wrong again. It's as if NBC is determined to
resist learning from its mistakes at any and all costs. That said,
only 3 shows will be given a chance to prove themselves to me quickly:
The Blacklist, Sean Saves the World and Dracula. Everything else is
D.O.A. to me.

Of course, the mid-season line-up probably won't resemble much of what
the network thinks it'll look like. Only 2 will get a look-see out of
me, Crossbones and Crisis. NBC should be grateful to have the winter
Olympics, because that's the only thing that'll put a shine on its
season average numbers.

Nice bookends.

Hopefully 10 PM Thursday will be less of a train wreck than 10 PM
Tuesday has been. Although, come to think of it, ABC's Scandal and
CBS's Elementary were both there this year. Oh heck!

Yeah, I fail to see what's so nice about the bookends, unless the
sarcasm escaped me. What'll happen on Thursday won't be in the
slightest different, for better or worse, than what's been happening
on Thursday for the network. Leading off the night with a show no one
watches and ending it with another one few watch and hoping that 3 new
sitcoms sandwiched between them will make any kind of ratings impact
isn't even something that can be considered wishful thinking.

PARENTHOOD will get killed by SCANDAL if it returns to that timeslot.

Also "Fashion Star" and "Off Their Rockers"

I expect HANNIBAL to be back, but CELEBRITY APPRENTICE has passed its

Nothing to watch. THE BLACKLIST should be popular with people who liked 24,
though.

This is a better timeslot for REVOLUTION...hopefully less neck slicing and
firing squads and more intelligence.

I'll sample THE MICHAEL J. FOX SHOW (are they going to give it a name or is
that going to be the name?). Nothing else to watch.

NBC lived all this season on NFl and THE VOICE. I expect next season won't
be much different.

I didn't notice this before. (I wonder if "Arrow" will still be here
next Fall...)

The good news? - An 8pm timeslot should mean they'll tone the "dark"
way down, and hopefully go for this kind of show "Revolution" *should*
be, which is a Saturday morning serial redux.

The bad news? - It's also scheduled in Spring, which means they're
foolishly trying to squeeze a 20-22 episode-season out of this show.
Big mistake.

[David]

If the season starts during premiere week (September 26th) by my count
it can run almost straight through mid-March, taking three weeks off
for Thanksgiving Eve, Christmas and New Year's. They might also want
to break for two weeks during during World Series, which would bring
it to end of March with minimal interruptions.

I think the midseason schedule is mostly a placeholder, though, since
it's missing several shows.

[David]

Forgot that it'll be off two weeks for the Winter Olympics, too.

LOL - intelligence? On Revolution?? That's like expecting intelligence
from Clodreamer!

I may sample Ironside just to see how much of a train wreck it really is.

So Revolution to snark at, sample Ironside for the same reason, sample
MJFox, watch Dracula for cute girl. That's not a lot for a whole
schedule.

They do have Rockne S O'Bannon joining the writing staff so maybe he
can help improve the show, if he's allowed.

Without a compelling actor like Raymon Burr it's hard to see this show
working.

I've been watching "Grimm" on Fridays for most of the two seasons so
why would I stop now. I'll give "Dracula" a try too.

Yeah. I *like* Blair Underwood, but you picked the right word there -
he's hardly compelling.

As I said elsewhere, this is the worst cast pilot of this season -
it's not just that Underwood's wrong (which he totally is!): it's that
*pretty much everyone* in this is wrong!!

Hmmm... maybe that will make it a hit! Remember "The Producers"? The
wrong script, the wrong actors, the wrong director... "Where did I go
right?!?!"
