NBC's New Shows

Well talk about a lot of new shows on the roaster. Now let's hope that they can get a better amount of them to stick around.

Love Bites

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Notable Cast Members: Becki Newton (Ugly Betty), Jordana Spiro (My Boys), Lindsay Price (Eastwick), Jennifer Love Hewitt, Greg Grunberg (Heroes). However, we're still not sure if most of them are regulars or guest stars.
It's Like... Love Actually and Love American Style had a baby that was raised bySex and the City.
Time: Thursdays, 10pm


Perfect Couples

Genre: Comedic Romance
Notable Cast Members: Olivia Munn (Attack of the Show), the waitress from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, that guy from My Boys who is also in that video you just watched above.
It's Like... someone decided that what the world needs is a recycled version ofFriends. It's also like what will be playing nonstop in Hell when I arrive there.
Time: Midseason


Friends with Benefits

Genre: Comedy, with Romantic Elements (I'm running out of ways to say the same thing here...)
Notable Cast Members: Ryan Hansen (Party Down), Danneel Harris (One Tree Hill). Fran Kranz (Dollhouse) was recently dropped from the show.
It's Like... all these other rom-com shows. Can anyone tell them apart?

It's Like... someone just okay'd racism on TV.
Time: Thursdays, 9:30pm


The Paul Reiser Show

Genre: Comedy
Notable Cast Members: No one. Oh, wait, Paul Reiser.
It's Like... a show from some alternate universe where Paul Reiser is still relevant. Or like being cornered by some weird dude who thinks he's funny and wants to tell you about his life.
Time: Midseason

Undercovers

Genre" J.J. Abrams thriller-comedy fest!
