These series have already premiered:

The War At Home (FOX)
Twins (WB)
Kitchen Confidential (FOX)
How I Met Your Mother (CBS)
Out Of Practice (CBS)
My Name Is Earl (NBC)

Within the next few weeks, we can expect premieres for:

Everybody Hates Chris (UPN)
Love Inc. (UPN)
Freddie (ABC)
Hot Properties (ABC)

Of the shows that have premiered thus far, "My Name Is Earl" would have to be my favorite.

I would rate them....

The War At Home 2/10 (wont be tuning in again)
Twins 6/10
Kitchen Confidential 4/10 (wont be tuning in again)
How I Met Your Mother 8/10
Out Of Practice 6/10
My Name Is Earl 8/10

The War At Home (FOX)-0/10
Twins (WB)-7/10

dawsongirl · 09-21-2005, 10:07 PM

I think they all look uninspired, so I doubt I watch any of them.

The War At Home (FOX) - Just another stupid family sitcom where the dad is stupid, the wife is smart, the daughter's a whore, and the son's a horndog.

Rating: 2/10 (Will not watch Again)

Twins (WB) - Surprisingly good for a WB show. However, it's comedy seems too usual. Very Will and Grace meets Just Shoot Me. It's not very original, but it is funny.

Rating: 6/10 (If it's on, I'll watch it)

Kitchen Confidential (FOX) - Kind of an awkward pilot, but most pilots are. It's a very original show and it certanly has it's own sense of humor, which is hard to find these days. I think it'll do well. However, being on after Arrested Development only makes it seem much less funny.

Rating: 7/10 (Will watch Again)

How I Met Your Mother (CBS) - Sweet, funny, romantic, and interesting. I didn't laugh hysterically, but I wasn't bored either. I rather enjoyed it.

Rating: 6/10 (If it's on, I'll watch it)

My Name Is Earl (NBC) - Very unique, however it was built up to be this amazing show, when really, I only laughed out loud maybe twice or thrice. Maybe I was just expecting much better. But then again, it is a NBC comedy, I shouldn't have expected too much.

Rating: 5/10 (If nothing else is on, I'll watch it)

I watched the 2 new UPN sitcoms last night.

Love Inc - 4/10 Not very good, but not horrendous. I won't be tuning in again.

Everybody Hates Chris - 9/10 One of the funniest pilots I've seen in a long time, not only is this the best new sitcom of the season.... I think it may be the second best sitcom currently on TV, second only to Arrested Development.

vashti1999 · 09-23-2005, 03:51 PM

So far, I've only seen How I Met Your Mother, Everybody Hates Chris and Love Inc. I liked the first two, the third one didn't do anything for me. I recorded the premiere episodes of The War At Home, Twins, Kitchen Confidential and My Name Is Earl and plan on finally watching them over the weekend.

My Name Is Earl was good, but Chris is the best. And unlike "Development" (which I love, but am already in mourning over its death- it drew only 4.5 million viewers on Monday), it is actually drawing viewers. This could be the sitcom to bring sitcoms back.

Chain Gang Member · 09-23-2005, 04:47 PM

I guess I'm the only one who likes The War At Home.You gotta admit that it's kinda funny

My Name Is Earl is definently gonna be a hit.Jason Lee is a great actor and is definently good at playing Earl.I think it's gonna go to 200 episodes since that's how many things he's wrong on his list and that it's on once a week

Actually, no, it is completely unfunny.

troopoleon8897 · 09-23-2005, 06:23 PM

Im listing them from most fav to least fav:

How I Met Your Mother
My Name Is Earl
Everybody Hates Chris
Twins
Out Of Practice
Kitchen Confidential
The War At Home

I didn't try Love Inc. because I hate UPN comedys (EHC is the exception) but I do plan on trying Freddie and Hot Properties...

ky24943 · 09-23-2005, 07:06 PM

FALL:
The War At Home (FOX) 10/10
Everybody Hates Chris (UPN) 10/10
Twins (WB) 8/10

AKA · 09-23-2005, 07:27 PM

So far, My Name Is Earl and Everybody Hates Chris are the stand-outs.

Wings#1ShowPeriod · 09-23-2005, 07:50 PM

How I Met Your Mother (CBS)- 8.5/10 {will watch every week} this show is hilarious.. my new favorite sitcom along with Kitchen Confidential.. its great

Kitchen Confidential (FOX)- 7.5/10 {will watch every week} I think its a good show.. Ill defiently be tuning in each week.

Out Of Practice (CBS)-7/10 {will watch every week} good show, each character is hilarious.. I liked it very much.

Twins (WB)-7/10 {will watch every week} I thought the pilot was well done.. I liked the interaction with Sarah Gilbert and Molly Stanton.. good stuff

The War At Home (FOX) {watch occasionally}-6/10 it has it moments.. its pretty funny

My Name Is Earl (NBC)-9/10 {will watch/keep track of the show} I agree with AKA, My Name Is Earl is a standout

Everybody Hates Chris (UPN)-9/10 {will keep track of the show} I agree with AKA, Everybody Hates Chris is a standout

TJL · 09-23-2005, 08:23 PM

So far, the best new show I've seen is "My Name Is Earl." Great show.

I'm still on the fence about "How I met Your Mother" and "Out Of Practice." I have to see a few more eps.

I thought "Everybody Hates Chris" was cute. Nice cast.

This season I think I'm looking forward to seeing more returning shows than new ones. Some of my faves had some great season finales, and I'm anxious to see how things start out for them.

I was hoping to catch an episode of "Head Cases," but I just read that show got canned already. Ouch.
