Worst Bets of the TV Season

by Scott Harris

Ah, the new fall TV season is upon us. Can you smell the fresh ideas? It's like new car smell, only with just a twinge of rancid butter and flop sweat from an old plumber mixed in. Yes, it's the new TV lineup, which once again means a slew of totally craptastic shows.

Oh, don't get us wrong, there are some cool new shows as well. And who knows, maybe the ads and sneak previews we've been seeing are just misleading, and all these new series will hit their stride and turn out to be totally crunk. But for the most part, looking at the list of new shows makes us long for the heyday of radio, when at least we didn't have to see these train wrecks.

To help you gird yourself for the upcoming onslaught, then, we've put together our list of the Worst Bets of the new TV season. Because when fall rolls around, it can only mean one thing: time to renew your Netflix subscription.
