Welcome to the Family is another teen pregnancy sitcom. Think Reba, except on Welcome to the Family, the girl, Molly (Ella Rae Peck) is stupider than the guy, Junior (Joseph Haro). Junior, a valedictorian on his way to Stanford and higher education in the sciences, is stopped in his tracks when irresponsible Molly, barely scraping through high school and on her way to Arizona State University and an indeterminate future, announces she is pregnant.

That the main character is in a wheelchair doesn’t make Ironside any different from a rote police procedural. A remake of the late ‘60s/early ‘70s show of the same name, the titular character is a detective paralyzed by a bullet, wheelchair-bound but still on the job.

The first episode of Super Fun Night is like Glee with grown-ups. Calling the central geeky trio of friends—awkward Kimmie (Rebel Wilson, Pitch Perfect, Bridesmaids), terrified Helen-Alice (Liza Lapira), and butch Marika (Lauren Ash)—grown-ups is a stretch, since their behavior is more middle-school than adult.

Stephen Merchant
Stephen Merchant‘s impact on American comedy television is so pervasive it’s easy to forget that his presence on the small screen has been relatively scarce.

Four single guys live in a short-term rental complex. Carter (Chris Smith) is here after being jilted—in an opening that is frame-by-frame exactly the same as ABC’s Happy Endings. It is his pitiful voice that narrates the experience, and his puppy-dog face that defines We Are Men.

Showtime’s new one-hour period drama, Masters of Sex, is a tease. Maybe that’s appropriate for a series that chronicles the scientific research done by William Masters and Virginia Johnson in their pioneering studies of human sexual response. And perhaps the show’s drawn-out plotting and early preoccupation with secondary characters works well for binge watchers. But for viewers who want to stick with the series week-to-week on Showtime this fall, their patience will be tested.
