Y'know, if I were a TV columnist (again, I'm NOT asking for the job) and got to go to one of these group-grope fall premiere sessions, I would have made the best of it. After all, the next time I'd see these people would be on my teeny TV at home, and would only be able to guess at what aesthetic winds would make their shows soar or crash. And given the nature of celebrity, this would be the only chance.
It's also curious that there's a degree of experimentation going on in the summer, that offers a sliver more of hope than many of the shows on the fall schedule. Masters of Science Fiction is the first anthology show on network TV since the ill-fated Nightmare Cafe. How did that happen?
And what's with all the game shows that are apparently shot on the same circular set? Did ABC get pitched a bunch of game show pilots and decided to gang-bang them out?
