Post Which new shows are going to break out?
We're about a month away from the new season and I've only seen advertising for 2 of the new shows on TV this fall: Pushing Daisies and Dirty Sexy Money. I see ads EVERYWHERE in L.A. but NONE for other new shows.

What shows have you seen being advertised. Which ones do you think will break out? How many viewers do you predict they'll receive?

I'm hoping the Pushing Daisies premier draws in at least 13-14 million viewers.

Pushing Daises looks too quirky to last long.

I think Gossip Girl will do pretty well.

Other than that, I'm not sure what's debuting.

Pushing Daisies is going to be the new critical darling that has no ratings.

That's what I think too, unfortunately. I just hope the ratings are enough to keep it around.

Chuck

Life may have a shot as well, and looks like the kind of show that critics will like, but I'm not sure if it'll last long.

I think Angel rip-off Moonlight could do good business on Friday nights. Not great, but enough to warrant a full season.

Back to you should be a break out, considering it has got two very popular leads. Journeyman sounds interesting but Tv and time travel rarely works.

CBS is the only network that pulls ratings on Fridays. I'm hopeful, since Jason Dohring is in it and I want him to have work.

I think it's a very intriguing show, though it's been kinda done before. Reminds me of Quantum Leap but looks a little darker, edgier. Hopefully the show can live up to my expectations. If they do, I dunno, I don't see it flopping yet.

I think the new Judy Greer show could have an arrested development style settup, possibly verging on Ugly Betty.

Considering the show is supposedly the most jaw-droppingly awful one in years, I don't know about that.
