FALL TV PREVIEW 2011

Let’s just say there were way more candidates for a list of bad new TV shows than for good ones. I whittled it down to these:

  • “I Hate My Teenage Daughter” (Fox, 9:30 p.m.). Shows with hate in the title seem to elicit hate.
  • “H8R” (The CW, Wednesdays, 8 p.m.) See above.
  • “Charlie’s Angels” (ABC, Thursdays, 8 p.m.). The accompanying shampoo commercials have more content.
  • “Hart of Dixie” (The CW, Mondays, 9 p.m.). Likewise who’s buying Rachel Bilson as a surgeon?
  • “The Playboy Club” (NBC, Mondays, 10 p.m.) Of the costume dramas seeking to catch an afterglow from “Mad Men,” this one is the worst of the two.
