STYLISTA
(this one is being paired with Top Model)
If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine. They work as assistants to Elle's Fashion News Director, Anne Slowey, a demanding but well-respected fashion icon. The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. STYLISTA is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha.

THE GOODE FAMILY (Midseason Series)
A new animated series from Mike Judge, creator of "King of the Hill." "The Goode Family" is obsessed with doing the "right" thing, whether it's environmentally, politically or socially. Unfortunately their efforts often have unintended comic consequences. "The Goode Family" is voiced by Mike Judge as Gerald, Nancy Carell as Helen, Dave Herman as Ubuntu and Abby Elliot as Bliss. Executive producers for "The Goode Family" are Mike Judge, David Krinsky, John Altschuler, Michael Rotenberg and Tom Lassally.

Opportunity Knocks
"Opportunity Knocks" is a new show that breaks the mold of typical game and reality shows. We will be showing up on America's doorstep and testing how well they know their family. Our mobile team will arrive at "Anywhere, America" in a semi-truck that is full of flat screen TVs, new furniture and big cash prizes that the family can win right there. We will take the action of a game show directly into our contestants' homes, setting up shop in a family's front lawn. The instant our host, JD Roth, knocks on the front door, the game will begin. Hollywood will invade a suburban neighborhood, and each week one lucky family will play the game of a lifetime in front of all their friends and neighbors. The host poses trivia questions to family members based directly on their lives, each other and articles found in and around their home. If they're able to prove they know their family inside and out, they'll win the prizes of their dreams. Executive producers for "Opportunity Knocks" are Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke, J.D. Roth and Todd A. Nelson. "Opportunity Knocks" is produced by Katalyst Films and 3 Ball Productions.

Life on Mars (Previously posted)
"Life on Mars" is based on the BBC series created by Matthew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah. The series revolves around Sam Tyler, a modern-day police detective who, after a car crash, mysteriously finds himself transported back to 1973 and still working as a detective. "Life on Mars" stars Jason O' Mara as Sam Tyler, Rachelle LeFevre as Annie Cartwright, Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt, Stephanie Jacobsen as Maya, Lenny Clarke as George Randall, Patrick Wenk-Wolff as Colin Raimes and Richard Benjamin as Milton Kornboll. The series is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television and ABC Studios. Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec, Scott Rosenberg, Jane Featherstone, Stephen Garrett and David E. Kelley are the executive producers. The pilot episode of "Life on Mars" was executive-produced by David E. Kelley, Tommy Schlamme, Bob Breech, Jane Featherstone and Stephen Garrett, and was produced by David E. Kelley Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

I'll join the chorus and say that The Mentalist is a total rip-off. And that Psych is an AWESOME show. It's funnier than most of the sitcoms currently airing put together.

Also, OMG Rufus Sewell on a sci-fi show OMG. His American accent is impeccable (as it was in Dark City) but this clip brought the lolz. "19 dead babies and 19 graves that didn't dig themselves"? lmao.

I'll totally watch it.

It pisses me off that they cancelled "Action" which was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen (Jay Mohr as Peter Dragon - movie producer much like Ari Gold)and they're sticking him in some nauseating "family" comedy. He's so much better than that.

Eleventh hour looks good because Rufus Sewell is in it and he is one of the best british actor ever ( along with Toby Stephens and Tom Hollander ...okay that sounds too much like Cambridge spies now) and Harper's Island might be great only becausethere is the gorgeous Elaine Cassidy in it. She is a great actress...I just hope she won't pull those faces like she did in A room with a View. However, not sure about Life on Mars ( although Colm Meaney Rocks).

And Simon Baker is sexy...

Eleventh Hour! i'll watch just for Rufus Sewell. he's always evil, but for some reason i love him. i'm sure gonna miss his accent though...

ooooo that guy in Surviving the Filthy Rich is HOT! and PS did they make Joanna Garcia dye her hair so she would like she fits in even less in Palm Beach?
