Gosh...Cavemen wasn't on the best list?

According to the chart of critics, Cavemen and Carpoolers are the worst.

Wow, they could only come up with TWO sitcoms in the best category?

This doesn't look good.

Aliens in America did quite well, so realistically 3 sitcoms - it had a red mark, but lots of 2 thumbs up ... I think it will be a love it or hate it show.

The Big Bang Theory did very well, look at all the two thumbs up and no red mark

Yeah everyone is saying Pushing Daisies is the best...I personally agree....it looks so offbeat that it will be awesome. As for Back To You, it personally will have its moments...in my eyes it won't be a laugh riot but it'll have its moments. Big Bang Theory....it could have one or two chuckles but not the best. Cavemen is going to tank and Carpoolers as well.

Pavan · 09-08-2007, 04:13 PM

Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money are the best new shows. Sitcom wise, the pilots for Big Bang and Carpoolers are hilarious to me. Back to You's pilot was just OK, but it will get better I think.

Don't understand why Variety is saying Samantha Who is that bad. It tested very well with viewers and had an enjoyable plotline, but not funny.

But it doesn't matter what they think...ratings matters.

As Carpoolers may be funny, I don't think it's going to connect with viewers. Kind of like what happened to "Help me Help You" last season.

I actually did some reading on Samantha Who and have put it on my New Fall Show check out List along with Back To You

Carpoolers is tied to Cavemen. If Cavemen flops than I think Carpoolers will too.

Especially when Cavemen is the lead in the Carpoolers. It sounds funny, and it doesn't sound like something I'd watch. So far the only sitcoms I plan on watching are Samantha Who?, Back to You, and the Big Bang Theory.

TVJunkie101 · 09-08-2007, 05:16 PM

I'm really looking forward to Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money.

Back to You has potential. I hope we don't get another 'Til Death (basically, a sitcom with two great sitcom stars that relies on weak scripts).

Samantha Who? could be interesting. I'm watching simply because I like Christina Applegate.

Carpoolers will probably be decent but I can't see it doing well, which will probably be unfortunate.

The Big Bang Theory will be worth checking out.

Carpoolers looks like one joke that will get old very quickly.
