The New Shows:
Just Legal is the story of the Olsen Twins. Oh, just kidding! It's actually a legal drama about a 19 year old lawyer who teams up with an older, has been lawyer to help people. Stars Don Johnson and Jay Baruchel. Airs Mondays at 9 p.m., EST
The press release for Related says this: “After the unprecedented success of Friends, we're thrilled to have Emmy Award-winning Marta Kauffman producing a one-hour family drama for us, based on the lives of four adult sisters. Related is an insightful, funny, touching drama full of complicated relationships and heartwarming family moments, with a great young cast to which our core female audience will instantly relate." Which tells you absolutely nothing about the show. Wednesdays at 9 p.m.
Twins is from the creators of Will and Grace and is about two sisters who look alike but have nothing in common. Stars Melanie Griffith and Sara Gilbert. Fridays at 8:30 p.m.
Pepper Dennis is about a TV reporter looking for love (in all the wrong places?). Stars Rebecca Romijn and Josh Hopkins. Starts in January.
The Bedford Diaries is from Homicide's Tom Fontana and centers on a sex class at a university (!) Stars Matthew Modine and Milo Ventimiglia. Starts in January.
Misconceptions has Jane Leeves as a mom who finds out that her son's sperm donor isn't the educated, classy man she thought he was. I hate when that happens. Starts in January.
Supernatural is about monsters lurking in small towns across America. Ooooooooo. Stars Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Tuesdays at 9 p.m.
Modern Men is about friends in their twenties who go to a life coach for help. Sounds whiny. But it's from producer Jerry Bruckheimer, so maybe they'll blow up or something! Starts in January.
