entertainment industry coach question 580: What's your favorite new show so far?

New show? No Ordinary Family... it's the updated "with a twist" version of The Greatest American Hero. I'm not a big fan of remakes of shows like 90210, Melrose Place, etc. I have great respect for the hit shows from the past, and like it when writers see a concept that worked and put a twist on it. To me Glee is the Fame of this generation, only FAAAAAAAR better than the remake of Fame done a few years ago.

I get scared to get attached though. New shows I fall in love with tend to have a bad track record. In fact, if market researchers had me watch their pilots and I LOVE IT, they can pretty much gauge that it's going to be a bust. Luckily for 24 fans, I didn't start watching until season 2.
