Michael J Fox was great in Curb'. He was good in Spin City too but I think the supporting cast stood out more. Oh, and he was great as the OCD inflicted doctor in Scrubs. Basically, I'll check The Michael J Fox Show out.

I read this has some sort of weird deal, where if the channel picked it up, they have to commit to fifty episodes. Or more. Some huge number. So basically they can't cancel it. Bit odd.

The show I was most looking forward to seeing, 'Mulaney' ( http://splitsider.com/2013/04/john-mulaneys-pilot-taping-was-last-night-and-it-was-great/ ) didn't get picked up.

Oh, another notable new show: 'Friends & Family'; the U.S. version of Gavin And Stacey.

Stand up comedian Bo Burnham (Who first got noticed doing funny songs on YouTube) now has his own sitcom, 'Zach Stone Is Gonna Be Famous'. Just watched the first episode; well worth a look. If you're not a funny song fan, don't worry, it's not a Flight Of The Conchords type show.

Info on a bunch of new U.S. sitcoms for next season: http://splitsider.com/2014/05/a-guide-to-the-new-crop-of-network-comedies/

Only one of those that I hope will be good is A to Z since it has Leonora Crichlow on it!

I'll watch the Millionth remake of the Odd Couple simply so I can hate Matthew Perry more then I already do! The Odd Couple should NEVER be remade!

Looks like pretty much everyone from Happy Endings has a new show. Why didn't they just keep Happy Endings? Grr.

I know, I just watched a repeat yesterday. So good. It would also have meant Coach didn't wind up in New Girl again. That guy's character in HE was brilliant. Much less so in NG.
