Originally Posted By FerretAfros Is Once Upon a Time in Wonderland supposed to be a spin-off of Once Upon a Time? I'm not sure how I feel about that. OUAT is complicated enough at this point that I really don't need a separate storyline to try and keep track with; given that it hasn't exactly been as inspiring as its first season, doubling the number of shows would probably lead me to stop watching it, rather than really get into it. If nothing else, I think the name will make it really confusing Also, I'm sad (though not even remotely surprised) to see that Happy Endings won't be returning. They did their best to try and hide the show, moving nights and times several times until it settled with back-to-back new episodes on Fridays. It's not a great show by any means, but it sure is a fun guilty pleasure. I'm hopeful it could make a Cougartown-like jump to another network, but I'm not holding my breath

How the latter as outlasted all of the other freshman shows is beyond me. One of the worst sitcoms in recent memory. I liked Happy Endings but it didn't particularly break any moulds. The Bitch in Apt 23 was a far more unique product.

Originally Posted By magic0214 <<Pan Am and The Neighbors>> I loved Pan Am, maybe not for the show as the era. Though, the French stewardess and her storylines MADE THE SHOW! The Neighbors started off odd, I will give you that, but the last 10 episodes were superb. One of my favorite comedies right now. The musical episode was fantastic. (I will always love Girls and Veep more, but it is great). Hopefully it does well on Fridays.

Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan >> the Middle(tv's most underrated show)<< Totally agree! Consistently hilarious, but you don't hear much buzz about it.
Originally Posted By FerretAfros I also enjoyed PanAm, but saw that it was seriously flawed. After a few episodes, it just turned into The Love Boat in the sky. The French stewardess definitely had some really compelling storylines, which were by far the most intresting part of the show (the CIA stuff was neat too), but most of the time she was a non-character in the background. It was a show with the potential to be 'great' (on the great/not-great scale), but ended up just being 'kind of good' And I also agree about The Middle. It's a great show, but for whatever reason doesn't create a lot of excitement (which sort of reinforces the concept of the show, right?). My parents live in Indiana, and it's always fun to see the local tie-ins that are real, but seem completely fictional, like knitting scarves for the Super Bowl volunteers.
Originally Posted By schnebs Me three on Pan Am - although I think it was more for the nice job they did with getting the look right than the plotlines. (It was also fun to read all the comments online from the aviation buffs about how a pilot as young as one of the leads never would have been allowed to sit in the captain's seat.)
