you've got to love that...it's actually the title of a new show scheduled for the fall season.  It's a drama for abc and so far one of my top five or so favorite new shows. this time of year is always fun in my house because my husband brings home all the pilots that the networks picked up for the new fall season, so we get a jump start on whats out there.

here are some to watch for:

1-"dirty sexy money" on abc wed nights....stars peter krause, donald sutherland, william baldwin, and jilly clayburgh. very dark family drama about an idealistic lawyer dragged into the ultra-rich family that his dead father worked for...loved it!

 2-"journeyman" on nbc mon nights....stars kevin mckidd, moon bloodgood, gretchen egolf, reed diamond. set in san francisco it's about a newpaper reporter who's able to travel through time and change people's lives. i wasn't familiar with the cast and at first wasn't sure how they'd be able to keep the concept going each week, but ended up really enjoying it.

 3-"women's murder club"...on abc fri nights....stars angie harmon, paula newsome, aubrey dollar and laura harris. it's about a female detective, district attorney, medical examiner and reporter who team up to form their own "old boys club" to solve murders in san francisco. smartly done and interesting to watch plus the cast is gorgeous!

 4-"back to you"...on fox tues nights....stars kelsey grammer, patricia heaton and fred willard. i laughed so much during this one, and i don't think it's just because it's set in a newsroom...it's really funny and great to see kelsey in this pompeous role of a big time los angeles anchor who gets caught swearing up a storm on air, and ends up back where he started 10 years prior n a small market. he's reunited with his old anchor team and it's not a match made in heaven. my husband actually came downstairs because he heard my mom and me laughing so much. the show really captures some of the ego you can find in a newsroom, especially a smaller market newsroom. of course no one here at channel 11 is like that! :-)

 next week i'll get through some more of the new shows for you....also on a quick personal note...after six weeks, my little boy got his cast off his leg and is walking (limping). the doctors say we won't need physical therapy, that it's just a matter of feeling comfortable again with putting pressure on the leg.

so all is well in my household....hope you have a wonderful week.
