Touch and Alcatraz will be the only two I sample, I think. Hope they're good, especially the new Kring vehicle.

 

[Temis the Vorta]

Those are the two that interest me, too. I don't know what to expect. Alcatraz seems like a premise that can't sustain a series and Touch could quickly become mawkish.

And I'll take another look at Breaking In to see if they've figured out how to use the very talented cast better, to create a sustainable series. The approach they were taking before just wasn't clicking. I've heard they've turned it more into a workplace comedy, which will focus less on the disposable and uninteresting cases-of-the-week and put it more on the comedic abilities of the cast.

But House stole the girl.

There's a new girl, or is she doubling up?

 

[Trekker4747]

Terra Nova get axed?

13 episodes in 11 weeks.

Season two to be decided.

The Breaking In gang is getting a new boss. After a hot pursuit by the producers, Megan Mullally has closed a rich deal to join the Fox comedy as a new regular. Mullally’s character will take over high-tech security firm Contra Security, which had been run by Oz (Christian Slater), who will now have his own boss. The high-profile cast addition is part of significant creative changes the comedy created by Adam F. Goldberg and Seth Gordon is undergoing heading into Season 2. The “mission of the week” concept where members of the Contra team go out of the office on a different assignment in every episode will be scaled back as Breaking In will segue into a more office-based comedy.

...

On the Fox series, Gersh-repped Mullally joins Slater, Bret Harrison, Alphoso McAuley, Michael Rosenbaum and Odette Annable, who may be in fewer episodes as she is also a regular on Fox’s House.

Fine with me, Annable really didn't add much to the mix anyway. I wonder if they dropped the mopey dark-haired guy? He was deadwood, too.

Shroote-lite.
