CRAIG’S CHOICES
Most Promising Trailer: Mixed-ish. I’m still not sure about all of these prequels that I feel are written because the creators grew up in whatever decade they took place in, but I thought this was charming and cute. Not “leading the 9:00 hour” cute, but still enjoyable.
Most Anticipated New Show: Stumptown. I really want to see what Cobie Smulders does with this, even if the start of the trailer was kind of nonsense.
Best Scheduling Move: Letting Grey’s Anatomy and Station 19 do the Goldbergs/Schooled crossover thing at midseason is inspired. I like it. I also am so glad Adam F. Goldberg’s two Wednesday series are staying as-is.
Worst Scheduling Move: Ending Speechless. You had a solid show there and you got rid of it!
Most Likely New Hit: Mixed-ish. Again, mass appeal, diversity… it seems to check several boxes, and not in a bad way.
Likely First Cancellation: Emergence. We’ll see if it gets more than ten days in the valley or if we have to believe the whispers.
What I’ll Be Watching in the Fall: The Goldbergs and Schooled for sure. I’ll watch the end of Modern Family. And I’m very curious about Stumptown.
