Check out trailers for new FOX TV shows coming this fall after the jump! ALMOST HUMAN(FOX) - Mondays nights (Late Fall) SCI FI DRAMA
Since their sci fi cult hit "Fringe" concluded earlier this year, Fox have been looking for a their next big genre show and they just may have got something with "Almost Human". It's seems like they taken several pages from "I, Robot" and reworked it into the classic buddy cop formula. Of course it helps if you got two leading actors with chemistry, enter Karl Urban (Star Trek) and Michael Ealy (Think Like a Man) who for the most part have it in spades. Most of the team behind Fringe will be involved in running the show, J.J. Abram will be one of the executive producers (we'll be assuming his level involvement being fairly minimal) and JH Wyman is the show's creator/writer best known for being a writer on Fringe.
Should it be on your radar? Absolutely! Probably the best of FOX's new shows coming this Fall.
SLEEPY HOLLOW(FOX) - Mondays nights (Fall) FANTASY DRAMA
Sleepy Hollow being made into a TV show set in the present day? You know what that's so nuts that it could actually work. Brought to us by co-creators/executive producers Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci (the "Star Trek" and "Transformers" franchises, "Fringe"). Tom Mison (Salmon Fishing in the Yemen) will be playing Ichabod Crane (Johnny Depp played this character in the 1999 film adaptation), who has been resurrected in modern day America to save the world. Starring also along side him is Nicole Beharie (Shame, American Violet) a present day cop who gets partnered with Crane to unravel the mysteries before them and stop the headless horseman.
Should it be on your radar? The Headless horseman armed with heat axe and machine guns? Yes please!
Emmy Award-winning writer/producers Dan Goor and Michael Schur best known for "Parks and Recreation" brings us Brooklyn Nine-Nine a police workplace comedy. Starring Andy Samberg (The Lonely Island, Saturday Night Live) as a hotshot detective man child, the always excellent Andre Braugher (Last Resort, Men of a Certain Age) as the stern new captain on the block and Terry Crews bringing up the rear for added star power. Police comedies aren't anything new but when got a cast as strong as strong as this you help but think there got to be some big laughs hidden in there somewhere.
Should it be on your radar?As far as comedies goes this one seems pretty solid and warrants a closer look.
RAKE(FOX) - Thursday nights (Mid-season) DRAMA
Rake is a American adaptation of a Australian new legal drama going by the same name. The US version will star Greg Kinnear (Little Miss Sunshine, The Kennedys) in the role of the extremely talented but ultimately flawed criminal defense attorney Keegan Deane, who's self-destructive tendencies start bleed into his professional life. Created by Peter Duncan (ABC1 Australia's "Rake") and executive-produced by Peter Tolan (Rescue Me, Analyze This) and Michael Wimer ("2012").
Should it be on your radar?The premise is nothing original but that doesn't mean it can't be good.
GANG RELATED(FOX) - TBA (Fall) CRIME DRAMA
With Breaking Bad on ending this fall on AMC every other network will be looking to fill the void for a serialized crime drama. FOX opted for a gritty fast-paced drama with more similarities to "The Wire" than "Breaking Bad" but that said I don't think its aiming to be those kind of shows and I doubt it could achieve the level of high drama those shows excelled at. All that aside it could still be an entertaining show and also the RZA is in this for better or worse.
Should it be on your radar?Leaning towards yes but if you forget it exist its no big loss.
SURVIVING JACK(FOX) - TBA (Fall) COMEDY
Christopher Meloni has played the very serious straight laced characters on TV most notably on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" and in "Surviving Jack" he plays a serious straight laced dad of the household but now to comedic effect. Set in Southern California during the early 90s revolving around a dad trying to parent his children in his unique way and getting to grips with it.
Should it be on your radar?It's worth a look.
DADS(FOX) - Tuesday nights (Fall) COMEDY
The minds behind "Ted" (which was one of the more funnier movies of 2012) give us "Dads". Seth MacFarlane, Alec Sulkin and Wellesley Wild are all Executive producers and co-creators for the show and from this trailer alone you can tell that it not going to be particular funny. Seth Green (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Giovanni Ribisi (Saving Private Ryan) star as video game entrepreneurs whose dads (Martin Mull and Peter Riegert) suddenly move in with them.
Should it be on your radar?Dads frankly looks uninspired and flat, So "NO" it definitely shouldn't be on your radar!
ENLISTED(FOX) - Friday nights (Late Fall) COMEDY
FOX presents a military-set family comedy about three brothers on a small Florida army base and the group of misfits who surround them. Enlisted will star Geoff Stults (The Finder), Chris Lowell (Private Practice) and Parker Young (Suburgatory) as the three brothers, with Keith David ("Crash" who deserves better than this quite honestly, unless Enlisted prove the doubter wrong in which case great) as the only notable supporting actor as their commanding officer.
Should it be on your radar?Honestly this doesn't look that bad but it doesn't look good either so it a up to personal taste.
US&THEM(FOX) - TBA (Mid-season) COMEDY
"Us & Them" is the US remake of the hit UK show Gavin & Stacey. Jason Ritter (Parenthood) and Alexis Bledel (Gilmore Girls) will the two romantic leads in the show who are a young couple who relationship is constantly complicated by the shenanigans and mishaps of people closest to them.
Should it be on your radar?If this is your cup of tea then yes go for it when it finally roll round mid-season.
