STYLISTA
(this one is being paired with Top Model)
If "The Devil Wears Prada" were a reality show, it would be STYLISTA. Eleven aspiring fashion enthusiasts vie for a much-coveted editorial job with Elle magazine.

The competitors will carry out an assistant task and a fashion editorial assignment in each episode. Each week, in consultation with Elle's Creative Director, Joe Zee, Anne fires one person, until the last assistant standing gets "promoted" to the coveted real-life job opportunity. The grand prize includes a paid editorial position at Elle magazine, a paid lease on a great apartment in Manhattan, and a clothing allowance at H&M, all for one year, valued at $100,000. STYLISTA is from 10 by 10 Entertainment, Inc. and Bankable Incorporated in association with Magic Molehill Productions, Inc. and Warner Horizon Television Inc. with executive producers Tyra Banks, Ken Mok, Eli Holzman, Desiree Gruber and Jane Cha.

THE GOODE FAMILY (Midseason Series)
A new animated series from Mike Judge, creator of "King of the Hill." "The Goode Family" is obsessed with doing the "right" thing, whether it's environmentally, politically or socially. Unfortunately their efforts often have unintended comic consequences. "The Goode Family" is voiced by Mike Judge as Gerald, Nancy Carell as Helen, Dave Herman as Ubuntu and Abby Elliot as Bliss. Executive producers for "The Goode Family" are Mike Judge, David Krinsky, John Altschuler, Michael Rotenberg and Tom Lassally.

Opportunity Knocks
"Opportunity Knocks" is a new show that breaks the mold of typical game and reality shows. We will be showing up on America's doorstep and testing how well they know their family. Our mobile team will arrive at "Anywhere, America" in a semi-truck that is full of flat screen TVs, new furniture and big cash prizes that the family can win right there. We will take the action of a game show directly into our contestants' homes, setting up shop in a family's front lawn. The instant our host, JD Roth, knocks on the front door, the game will begin. Hollywood will invade a suburban neighborhood, and each week one lucky family will play the game of a lifetime in front of all their friends and neighbors. The host poses trivia questions to family members based directly on their lives, each other and articles found in and around their home. If they're able to prove they know their family inside and out, they'll win the prizes of their dreams. Executive producers for "Opportunity Knocks" are Ashton Kutcher, Jason Goldberg, Karey Burke, J.D. Roth and Todd A. Nelson. "Opportunity Knocks" is produced by Katalyst Films and 3 Ball Productions.

Life on Mars (Previously posted)
"Life on Mars" is based on the BBC series created by Matthew Graham, Tony Jordan and Ashley Pharoah. The series revolves around Sam Tyler, a modern-day police detective who, after a car crash, mysteriously finds himself transported back to 1973 and still working as a detective. "Life on Mars" stars Jason O' Mara as Sam Tyler, Rachelle LeFevre as Annie Cartwright, Colm Meaney as Gene Hunt, Stephanie Jacobsen as Maya, Lenny Clarke as George Randall, Patrick Wenk-Wolff as Colin Raimes and Richard Benjamin as Milton Kornboll. The series is produced by Twentieth Century Fox Television and ABC Studios. Josh Applebaum, Andre Nemec, Scott Rosenberg, Jane Featherstone, Stephen Garrett and David E. Kelley are the executive producers. The pilot episode of "Life on Mars" was executive-produced by David E. Kelley, Tommy Schlamme, Bob Breech, Jane Featherstone and Stephen Garrett, and was produced by David E. Kelley Productions in association with 20th Century Fox Television.

Elizabeth Reaser is one of the most annoying actressess ever.
[info]popaddict ...filthy rich15th-May-2008 01:25 pm (UTC)
Ok, Michael Cassidy equals must watch. It doesn't matter if the show is absolute shit, if Mr. Cassidy is in it, I have to see it.
[info]the_rocklobster Re: ...filthy rich21st-May-2008 08:13 pm (UTC)
A-fucking-men. I'm going to see in in a David Mamet play in early June down in Culver City. Guh, he's AMAZING.
[info]tracycutie 15th-May-2008 01:34 pm (UTC)
the Mentalist sounds like an un-funny Psych
[info]tracycutie 15th-May-2008 01:39 pm (UTC)
rufus sewell has a tv show? count me in
[info]demented_21 15th-May-2008 01:43 pm (UTC)
I'll join the chorus and say that The Mentalist is a total rip-off. And that Psych is an AWESOME show. It's funnier than most of the sitcoms currently airing put together.

Also, OMG Rufus Sewell on a sci-fi show OMG. His American accent is impeccable (as it was in Dark City) but this clip brought the lolz. "19 dead babies and 19 graves that didn't dig themselves"? lmao.

I'll totally watch it.
[info]__papillon 15th-May-2008 01:47 pm (UTC)
lol at stylista. the contestants there have done far more damage to their career in that show without even being in the real fashion world. major fail.

michael cassidy! now that will be awesome.
[info]maxymama 15th-May-2008 02:03 pm (UTC)
Thanks for this! After watching most of the clips, some shows I thought I would like I don't and vice versa.
[info]stellaglam 15th-May-2008 02:04 pm (UTC)
I don´t care about any of these shows, I just wanna see a clip from Dollhouse!
[info]cinnamonkitty 15th-May-2008 02:05 pm (UTC)
lol @ the Elle magazine editor not being able to walk in her heels.
[info]loislane22 15th-May-2008 02:19 pm (UTC)
It pisses me off that they cancelled "Action" which was one of the funniest shows I've ever seen (Jay Mohr as Peter Dragon - movie producer much like Ari Gold)and they're sticking him in some nauseating "family" comedy. He's so much better than that.
[info]lothlorienbow 15th-May-2008 02:24 pm (UTC)
Simon Baker back on my television!

[info]todaysgoneby 15th-May-2008 02:44 pm (UTC)
Rufus Sewell. Enough said.
[info]stellawuzadiver 15th-May-2008 03:12 pm (UTC)
Nancy Carell = Nancy Walls ???
[info]stellanotte 15th-May-2008 03:16 pm (UTC)
a detective and independent consultant with the California Bureau of Investigation (CBI) who has a remarkable track record for solving serious crimes by using his razor sharp skills of observation

lol great, we're going to be enthralled by this guy watching people

watch it be some amazing show, i remember years ago telling people "a show called desperate housewives? seriously, shit like that never lasts"
[info]tracycutie 15th-May-2008 03:54 pm (UTC)
it worked for psych..only the show is funny as hell
[info]hotpinkluver 15th-May-2008 03:40 pm (UTC)
Why are people who work in fashion such bitches?
[info]myfina 15th-May-2008 05:40 pm (UTC)
because they don't eat! lol
[info]famousdeaths 15th-May-2008 03:47 pm (UTC)
RUFUS SEWELL!

But without a British accent? D:
[info]soapy_chk89 15th-May-2008 05:40 pm (UTC)
I know. I'm a little shaken, tbh.
[info]numb_crystal 15th-May-2008 03:53 pm (UTC)
the mentalist looks too forced
[info]lycaon25 15th-May-2008 04:39 pm (UTC)
The Mentalist = MonkPsych

Also I'm not going to take ANY show seriously that has that chick from the craft in it... unless its Faruza Balk (SP?)
[info]pois_chiche 15th-May-2008 05:03 pm (UTC)
Eleventh hour looks good because Rufus Sewell is in it and he is one of the best british actor ever ( along with Toby Stephens and Tom Hollander ...okay that sounds too much like Cambridge spies now) and Harper's Island might be great only becausethere is the gorgeous Elaine Cassidy in it. She is a great actress...I just hope she won't pull those faces like she did in A room with a View. However, not sure about Life on Mars ( although Colm Meaney Rocks).

And Simon Baker is sexy...
[info]bluetooth16 15th-May-2008 05:19 pm (UTC)
The Mentalist is definitely a humorless Psych ripoff.
[info]nightcaps_4_all 15th-May-2008 05:24 pm (UTC)
Mike Judge is so HOT.
[info]_elvie 15th-May-2008 05:33 pm (UTC)
They are SO going to have to change the title of The Mentalist if it gets shown in the UK.
[info]tube_fiend 15th-May-2008 05:52 pm (UTC)
What does it mean in the UK?
[info]_elvie 15th-May-2008 06:18 pm (UTC)
It's mildly offensive slang, probably best explained here.

Edited at 2008-05-15 06:19 pm (UTC)
[info]tube_fiend 15th-May-2008 10:14 pm (UTC)
Lol. Yeah, so pretty much the opposite of what they're going for with the US title. Gotcha.
[info]littlebones 15th-May-2008 05:45 pm (UTC)
oh, i saw a preview for the mentalist on tv yesterday. i figured he was a new character on criminal minds.
[info]kool_aidex893 15th-May-2008 07:29 pm (UTC)
NICE JOB RIPPING OFF "PSYCH", ASSHOLES
[info]ronsypooie 15th-May-2008 07:44 pm (UTC)
The Mentalist was allll good until he said "i'm sorry. he irks me. he's irksome."

Eleventh Hour! i'll watch just for Rufus Sewell. he's always evil, but for some reason i love him. i'm sure gonna miss his accent though...

ooooo that guy in Surviving the Filthy Rich is HOT! and PS did they make Joanna Garcia dye her hair so she would like she fits in even less in Palm Beach?
[info]onerainysunday 15th-May-2008 07:54 pm (UTC)
elizabeth reeser was so fuckin annoying on GA
[info]retro_vogue 15th-May-2008 08:08 pm (UTC)
eek so gonna watch stylista and filthy rich.
[info]high_road 15th-May-2008 08:48 pm (UTC)
Aww I like the Scrubs promo :) And what episode was the Doug reeling in dead people/JD bringing in people? That was funny.
[info]oren11 LIFE ON MARS15th-May-2008 10:10 pm (UTC)
LIFE ON MARS=FAIL They could have changed it or made it more interesting or something. Maybe the trailer is just messed though. Time will tell.
[info]evett 16th-May-2008 02:05 am (UTC)
