Fall Pilot Wrap-Up: Part 1

Alright, since I neglected my round-up of all the fall pilots, I'm going to just round it all up in between 2 parts. This first part is going to cover the week of September 29-October 4th. The next part is going to cover the rest of the pilots of the season. Additionally, I'm not going to review any CW shows, as I decided not to watch any of them, unfortunately. Also, the "reviews" are only going to be around 2-3 sentences, as this article is a combination of many pilots. Now, let's get into the pilots, shall we?

September 29: Betrayal

Broadcast by:

ABC (USA), CityTV (Canada)

Betrayal isn't good. Sure, there are some good shots, and there is a somewhat decent foundation which lead to some solid moments that are mostly helped by the score. But, some of the foundation is really stupid, and there are some very stilted performances. In the end, Betrayal has a somewhat solid premise, but it just digs whatever potential it had into the ground. Too bad.

2/5

September 30: We Are Men

Was Broadcast by:

CBS (USA), GlobalTV(Canada)

We Are Men was bland and unfunny. It didn't have intriguing characters or solid laughs. It was just inoffensive to the point of being offensive. The only thing that was relatively good about the show was the theme song. It was great, and I watched the first 4 minutes of the second episode to listen to that song. The song should've been placed in a better show than it got. Le sigh.

1.5/5

Tuesday, October 1st:

Nothing

Broadcast by:

Nowhere

Moving on...

Wednesday, October 2nd: Ironside (Already reviewed) and Super Fun Night

Broadcast by:

ABC (USA), CityTV (Canada)

Rebel Wilson is fat. It's not funny. But Super Fun Night thinks it is.

The word Boubier is a last name. It's not funny. But Super Fun Night thinks it is.

Super Fun Night thinks a lot of unfunny things are funny. But they aren't funny. 

Fin.

Thursday, October 3rd: The Millers, Welcome to the Family, and Sean Saves the World

The Millers

Broadcast by: 

CBS (USA), GlobalTV (Canada)

The Millers isn't particularly good, per say. It seems to have some similarities to The Goldbergs, in which families are always yelling. But there's just something that clicks here. It's likely the cast. I think that it is exceptional background noise, but that's it.

3/5

Welcome to the Family

Was broadcast by:

NBC (USA), GlobalTV (Canada)

It could've been very offensive against Latinos. But it wasn't. I have nothing else to say about this show. I want to talk about it more, but it's just so cut and paste bland. Best word to describe it: "meh"

Meh/5

Sean Saves the World

Broadcast by:

NBC (USA), GlobalTV (Canada)

Sean Saves the World doesn't enforce gay stereotypes, so that's good. It's not particularly funny, either, so that's bad. It's just kind of... bland. And not very good, either. Just don't see it.

Mediocre/5
