I am not yet 100% sold on this Curb Your Enthusiasm meets The Comeback comedy series. But, it’s a far step up from Joey for Matt Le Blanc.

Parks and Recreation

I will continue to sing the praises of this show until it is in SideReel’s Top 10. Best comedy on NBC right now.

This FX comedy is all kinds of inappropriate, hence, it’s exactly my style.

Mr. Sunshine

Mr. Sunshine (2/9)
This new comedy has a great cast - Friends alum Matthew Perry, Allison Janney and Andrea Anders from the canceled too soon Better Off Ted. Let’s hope they can deliver the laughs.

fade

Mad Love

Mad Love (2/14)
Yet another comedy about young white people finding love (don’t forget about Perfect Couples and Traffic Light). This one, however, stars Scrubs alum Sarah Chalke.

Shameless

Shameless
The best of the new midseason dramas packed with character, quality drama and humor plus plenty of heart. An instant favorite this season.

Off the Map

Hot doctors and creative jungle medicine? How could a Grey’s Anatomy fan say no?

The Chicago Code

The Chicago Code
Having grown up in the Chicago area, I can’t help but look forward to this new cop drama that looks like it will definitely have its own unique flavor.

Fairly Legal

Fairly Legal
As one canceled-too-soon Life’s biggest fans, I’m loving seeing Life star Sarah Shahi in this quirky new legal drama from USA which always delivers the best characters!

fade

Lights Out

Lights Out
This newbie sits atop my catch-up list. I was hesitant due to the boxing theme, but it sounds like it’s packed with excellent human drama - for which FX has a fantastic track record.

It’s Brad Womak’s 2nd chance at love, and his lady suitors are more desperate than ever!

American Idol

Still not sure how I feel about the new judges, but they’ve been showing less reject auditions this season. The talent bar has been set high!

Jersey Shore

Jersey Shore
The gang is back in Jersey and luckily for us fans, they’re not any more well-behaved since their return to Seaside!

Now that the fat has been trimmed (aka Marcel), it's a diehard race to the finish for the remaining All-Stars!

The Bad Girls Club

The Bad Girls Club
Seven trashy girls forced to live together, pick fights, and drink nonstop. How can a reality TV addict go wrong?

New episodes seem to be on the way. It’s "2001" meets "The Truman Show" - hilarious stuff.

Ready to see what this new romantic comedy series can offer. From the trailer, it looks to be very different. Yeah.

It’s a guilty reality show pleasure, but I love people humiliating themselves in any form of media.

Can’t wait to see how this psychological horror/thriller ends up. Stuff’s getting pretty freaky!
