Critic's Eye On Upfront Offerings

  • TV Guide, Wednesday, May 18, 2011 3:15 PM
One of our favorite TV writers -- TV Guide's Matt Roush -- analyzes ABC's upfront offerings, as well as the trend for the alphabet network, NBC and Fox to hold back what Roush thinks could be their strongest offerings till mid-season.

"Once again, as with 'Awake and Smash' on NBC and 'Alcatraz' on Fox, some of my most visceral and enthusiastic knee-jerk responses to ABC's bulging shelf of new series was reserved for the shows that are waiting in the wings for winter or spring," he writes. "I'm at a loss to understand why a show with so much buzz and flash as 'Good Christian Belles' (formerly Bitches), which seems to have the oomph and panache of early-days 'Desperate Housewives,' is being held back - when it would make the perfect Sunday companion piece for the increasingly enfeebled antics on Wisteria Lane."
