For the last 7-8 years, my favorite television viewing night of the week has been Thurday nights on NBC. With the departure of
The Office and
30 Rock, that line-up has been decimated into fractions of what it used to be.
Don't get me wrong, I still love me some
Parks & Recreation and
Community, but two shows do not a prime-time line-up build. Don't you fret lil' NBC, if that
Michael J Fox Show finds a way to formulate plots beyond Marty McFly's Parkinson's disorder and manage to be entertaining, you could find your Thursday night line-up back in my good graces.
So now my attention has been turned to the FOX Tuesday night line-up. I was already a huge fan of
New Girl and
The Mindy Project, so I planned on tuning in for at least an hour's worth of programming. They also added two more comedies backed by some intriguing credentials.
Batting lead-off is
Dads, starring Seth Green, which is executive produced by
Family Guy creator, Seth MacFarlane. In the number 2 hole is
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, starring Andy Samberg and what looks like a tremendous ensemble on paper.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine was created by key contributors to
The Office and
Parks & Recreation.
On paper, this sounds like a can't miss night of comedy, but I have been disappointed before (damn you Will Arnett and David Cross for your stupid and unfunny
Running Wilde). Last night was the season premier of FOX's re-vamped Tuesday night line-up, and here's my show by show break down.
