Midseason TV Reviews

1600 Penn

A sitcom about the first family. Bill Pullman is the president and is newly married to Jenna Elfman; his younger, pretty wife who just wants to get along with her step kids. Stepson Skip played by Josh Gad steals the show with his slacker attitude and rightfully so as the Tony Award Nominee is the co-creater behind this show. But this show just doesn't do anything for me. After all the political satires we've seen this year, 1600 Penn is far from it. I will hand it to NBC for trying to find the next Modern Family. So those of you out there who enjoy This type of humour might find this show enjoyable, for me this is a NO.


Deception

Starring Meagan Good as Joanna, an undercover cop who returns to investigate the death of her once best friend and heiress, whom she grew up with - as a maid's daughter. Joanna moves in with the Bowers. Every member of the high privileged family is flawed and hard to care about. The only one you are routing for is Joanna, especially since Good doesn't over act. But the best part of this show is the flashbacks between the deceased and young Joanna. I won't be watching.
