Jersey - CBS

The Nanny meets LA Law.  OK, that's a little harsh because the Jersey girl is actually a very lovable character.

Martina just happens to have the Fran Drescher hair and Jersey accent, but luckily not the nasal tone or annoying laugh.  Instead she is a street wise Jersey girl with a new job at an upscale Manhattan law firm.  Predictably she is underrated yet ends up saving the client in court like no one else could.

CBS is running Jersey on Friday night which means they don't think it's going to be a hit.  And it is a long shot.  But give this girl a chance and you will have a new show to enjoy on date night.  For a drama it's easy watching: predictable, cute, happy ending.

You have to fall in love with Martina to like Jersey.  Will viewers devote a full hour of their lives to find out?
