Once Upon A Time - ABC

Snow White, Prince Charming, Seven Dwarfs, Wicked Witch, Rumplestilskin, Jimminy Cricket, Ghepetto, they're all alive and well in ABC's new Sunday night family show.

Once Upon A Time brings the fairy tale world to life in our world in a town near Boston called "Storybrook." But what happens if you go there and get stuck in a story?

'Once' pits good vs. evil in a show that I didn't like but your kids should. Against tough competition it won't pull great ratings, in fact ABC may be disappointed that it won't do what Extreme Home Makeover did... and there will be less money in product placement sponsors.

Oh well, pop some corn, sit down with the kids and spend some family time Sundays at 8:00.

Charlie's Angels - ABC

I really wanted the new Charlie's Angels to be a great show... but ABC continues to disappoint this season.

Yes, there are beautiful new Angels and a new young Bosley that is quite a ladies man in his own right. Yes, the new Angels and Bosley can really kick some karate butt. But the acting is terrible and the story line is weak.

Bottom line, if you want to turn off your brain and watch a very updated version of Angels, you will enjoy this show. Will it pull great ratings? No. But ABC doesn't have a good enough back up to replace it before year's end so plan on a no-brainer to start off your Thursday night viewing. And oh ya, the pilot was one of the few this season clean enough to watch with the kids.

Man Up - ABC

Not so manly modern men that want to be manly like their fathers. Sounds funny, right?

It's the only comedy in the 8:00p Tuesday night slot, but against NCIS, Loser and Glee it doesn't stand a chance. And oh ya, it's more pathetic than funny.

Apartment 23 - ABC

"I slept with your fiance on your birthday cake." That is a quote from the show that sums it up as a trusting Midwestern girl gets a rude awakening in the big city with a con-girl roomie.

In a year of bad pilots, this is among the worst. Oh, it won't air until Spring... then it will be among the worst of 2012.
