How Many of you can already tell

which of the new shows are going to be bombs... I say this same thing every year at this time. I see the promos an wonder "Who do they think is going to watch this?". And 9 times out of 10 within 4 weeks many are gone.. Yet the shows that we love they take off-- I will never understand the thought process of the "powers that be"

ITA, mostly all lately are bombing. If I were an actress, i would be leary about taking on a new series.

The new Shonda Rimes show with Viola Davis looks interesting.

Yes- the show with Viola Davis does look good.... Mostly the ones that see lame are the comedies... at least the ones that I have seen -- should prove interesting..

I have not watched a sitcom since Seinfeld went off the air.

I have never watched sitcoms either. My kids have told me I missed a lot with Seinfeld though. Oh well.

I think the same thing every year as the OP.

I have a usually pretty good track record of what shows will bomb. I think the Viola Davis murder show that the other poster talked about will be the new big hit.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

With Shonda Rimes history and Viola Davis starring it should be a hit and one I will watch.

Shonda Rimes will have the entire Thurs. night lineup on abc, Greys, Scandal and the new show all following each other.
