Fall TV's Bombs

Fall TV is bound to have some major bombs, so we've got your handy guide to which fall premieres you won't be watching and why.


Fall TV is your average tuber's favorite time of the year, with the promise of returning series delivering on their season finale mysteries and a slew of brand spanking new series hitting the airwaves! Amidst all the crazed excitement of Fall TV, we might overlook some of the bigger bombs and more groan-worthy premises. After all, we're only human, right?

Have you ever tuned in to an inescapably hyped and buzz worthy fall TV series, only to find your brain in need of a good scrambling by the time the credits roll? What happened? Was it the casting, the writing, or something in the on-set catering? We've never felt more trolled than when the best Fall TV bombs right before our very eyes.

But that certainly won't happen in 2011! Or will it? We've got plenty of original and adapted series alike to play the field with, including ABC's re-make of Charlie's Angels and CBS's crop of new three-camera sitcoms. Fall TV has never looked more expensive either, with the pilot episode of Terra Nova alone costing somewhere in the neighborhood of $20 million. More money means higher quality, right? 

So what Fall TV shows are worth your attention, and which are most likely to bomb? Let us clear the air for you as we run down the new TV series premiering this fall that you'll want to avoid like the plague! Got your own opinion on potential fall TV bombs?

Man Up!

Was there a meeting we weren't invited to, wherein the world decided that every new TV show this fall would be about quirky couples or men re-learning to follow some stereotypical code of masculinity? Oh, and Man Up! is even paired with Tim Allen's Last Man Standing? Subtle.

As much as we like Dan Fogler, and are in no way threatened by the current trend of escalating masculinity, we're going to have to pass on this one.  Like the rest of society, presumably. Most certainly a fall TV bomb.
