| As is
always the case, midseason brings
midseason replacements. Here are
a few you’ll be seeing soon. |
| “All-Dwarf Survivor:
Micronesia” (CBS):
The network hopes to wring a few
more advertising dollars out of
an aging franchise by resorting
to the latest vogue, dwarfs. But
the sight of a sad little person
dejectedly shuffling off the
island every week could be too
depressing for some. |
| “A Big Family With
Wisecracking Neighbors”
(ABC): Another sitcom from the
creative team that gave us
“Office Full of Wisecracking
Thirty-Somethings” and
“Six Twenty-Somethings Who
Do Nothing But Sit Around Making
Wisecracks,” this one
will succeed as long as they keep
the laugh track loud and the
plotlines identical to every
other sitcom. |
| “Code Orange”
(Fox): In an intense,
action-packed series about the
men and women who inform us about
the current terror alert level,
we're taken inside the
bureau within the Department of
Homeland Security where they
actually write the press
releases. Don't miss the
pilot episode, when the level
goes from yellow to orange.
Timely stuff. |
