New Shows:
LAST MAN STANDING (ABC) - Tim Allen returns to network TV as a manly man who owns an outdoors store who still has to deal with his wife and daughters. ABC really hopes he restores that old Home Improvement magic to their line-up.

MAN UP! (ABC) - Dan Fogler (Take Me Home Tonight), Christopher Moynihan (100 Questions), and Mather Zickel (The Cape) play three video-game-playing dorks trying to figure out how to be real men in the 21st century. Sounds like a dumber Big Bang Theory.

UNFORGETTABLE (CBS) - Poppy Montgomery (Without a Trace) as a homicide investigator with a perfect memory.

NEW GIRL (FOX) - Zooey Deschanel in her first TV series, as a quirky gal who moves in with three guys.

RINGER (CW) - Sarah Michelle Gellar plays twins. One is Bridget, an ex-stripper hiding for the mob and the FBI by posing as her sister Siobhan, whom she thinks is dead, but turns out, she isn't.

Outlook:

Tim Allen's show should debut high, but will the quality be there? I've read dreadful reviews of Man Up! and expect it to fail. New Girl benefits from the Glee lead-in, but there's also the direct competition of the Dancing with the Stars results show and NCIS: LA. Unforgettable should do well if it's a good show.
