Ad Age's picks for next season's best and worst TV shows
Posted in: UncategorizedLet’s get this over with: We blew it last year in predicting that ABC’s reboot of “Roseanne” would flop. In our defense, the cast’s appearance at last year’s upfronts was incredibly awkward and did not build confidence in the show’s return.
But we certainly empathize with advertisers that must predict three months ahead of time or longer which shows to buy. That’s how TV works, however, so we’re going to play along again with some educated guesses on which new shows next season will live beyond their freshman run — and which don’t stand a chance.
The hits should include CBS’ reboots of “Magnum P.I.” and “Murphy Brown” and the CW’s “Charmed” revival. The return of “Last Man Standing” on Fox is likely to get plenty of sampling, with a sensibility that’s likely do well on the heels of “Roseanne.” Similarly, “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” which moves from Fox to NBC next season, has a loyal following that should move along with it.
