Don’t let the fact that Running Wilde is created by Arrested Development’s creator or the fact that is stars Keri Russell (Felicity) and Will Arnett (Arrested Development, 30 Rock) lure you into watching this disposable show.

In Raising Hope, Martha Plimpton and Garret Dillahunt play Virginia and Burt Chance, former teenage parents to Jimmy (Lucas Neff). Lucas works for his father’s pool cleaning business where Burt is the most immature member of the team, pushing his employees into the bushes when they are attempting to relieve themselves and blowing leaves into the pool while it is being cleaned.

Are we ever going to tire of episodic procedural cop shows? Apparently not. ABC’s Detroit 1-8-7 has nothing that makes it stand out from the many police dramas that have come before it, or are playing alongside it.

Wasn’t Mitchell Hurwitz supposed to be a genius? As the creator of Arrested Development, one of the most beloved, lamented, and acclaimed shows in recent memory, expectations were high. Yet since Arrested’s cancellation, Hurwitz has only been able to get one show off the ground, the awful, animated Sit Down, Shut Up. His latest effort re-teams him with Arrested’s Will Arnett, but even this reunion fails to find a spark.

You may want to create your own timeline when watching the pilot for NBC’s The Event. The suspenseful conspiracy thriller uses the dramatic back-and-forth in time trick to keep the viewer on its toes and, hopefully, tuned in the following week(s).

Recycling is good—especially if it’s ’60s/’70s cheese staple, Hawaii Five-0. CBS’s fresh take on this signature cop show eschews the corniness and exaggerated eyebrow-waggling of the original for young, confident, and downright hot.

Polygamy and conning drive this drama. James Wolk plays Robert/Bob Allen, born into a conman’s life and kept in it by his father (David Keith). Alarmingly young, disturbingly twinkly, and utterly slick, Robert routinely sells fictitious investments.

Writer Terence Winter (The Sopranos) delivers the most exciting new series in recent history with Boardwalk Empire, a sweeping Prohibition gangster saga that redefines the boundaries of television storytelling.

If it hasn’t happened already, someday someone will teach a class in which the passage of time in the United States is studied through its television shows aimed at and featuring teenagers. Does anything say late ‘50s quite as well as Leave It to Beaver? Want to really remember the ‘80s? Square Pegs says everything. Most of these shows don’t hold up particularly well (try watching Beverly Hills, 90210), but few hold up as poorly as 21 Jump Street.
