Jace, have any pilots been made available for screening to critics yet?

Here's my early opinion after watching the promos:

- Raising Hope

This looks GREAT. I'm so glad FOX is turning to more single camera comedies, and this show looks like it could be a classic. I laughed out loud several times during the promos. But it also looks like it could be touching and meaningful.

- Running Wilde

Great pairing for Raising Hope, really hope Glee helps these shows in the ratings. Keri Russel?! Will Arnett?! Coming to us from Mitch Hurwitz? Count me in, please.

- Lonestar

Not something I'm dying to see, but this looks well-written, well-produced, and compelling. And more like something from FX than FOX. I applaud the network for this one. I most likely won't watch it unless it gets picked up for a full season because my fall is going to be really busy, but I hope this makes it. If FOX can turn this into a success we'd probably see the networks going more for quality rather than simply "commercial".

- Ride-Along

I think I'll like this more than I did "The Shield", and also a bit like a cable series, although I think this one could be a hit.

- Bob's Burgers

Meh. It's good to see something that's not created by Seth McFarlane on FOX's Sunday line-up. Um...that's all.

- Mixed Signals

Looks decent enough, but doesn't look or feel like something that's going to last beyond its initial order.

The Mixed Signals preview had me cracking up. So I'll probably check that out. And I'm not sure about Raising Hope, but I might give it a try. Doesn't hurt that they'll air after Glee.

Katie Lee Packs Her Knives: Breaking News from Bravo's "Top Chef"

The android has left the building. Or the test kitchen, anyway. Top Chef 's robotic host Katie Lee Joel, the veritable "Uptown Girl" herself (pictured at left), will NOT be sticking around for a second course of Bravo's hit culinary competition. According to a well-placed insider, Joel will "not be returning" to the show. No reason for her departure was cited. Unfortunately, the perfect replacement for Joel, Top Chef judge and professional chef Tom Colicchio, will not be taking over as the reality series' host (damn!). Instead, the show's producers are currently scouring to find a replacement for Joel. Top Chef 's second season was announced by Bravo last month, but no return date has been set for the series' ten-episode sophomore season. Stay tuned as this story develops. UPDATE (6/27): Bravo has now confirmed the above story .

BuzzFeed: Meet The TV Successor To "Serial"

HBO's stranger-than-fiction true crime documentary The Jinx   — about real estate heir Robert Durst — brings the chills and thrills missing since Serial   wrapped up its first season. Serial   obsessives: HBO's latest documentary series is exactly what you've been waiting for.   The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst , like Sarah Koenig's beloved podcast, sifts through old documents, finds new leads from fresh interviews, and seeks to determine just what happened on a fateful day in which the most foul murder was committed. And, also like  Serial  before it,  The Jinx may also hold no ultimate answer to innocence or guilt. But that seems almost beside the point; such investigations often remain murky and unclear, and guilt is not so easy a thing to be judged. Instead, this upcoming six-part tantalizing murder mystery, from director Andrew Jarecki ( Capturing the Friedmans ), is a gripping true crime story that unfolds with all of the speed of a page-turner; it

BuzzFeed: "The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now"

The CBS legal drama, now in its sixth season, continually shakes up its narrative foundations and proves itself fearless in the process. Spoilers ahead, if you’re not up to date on the show. At BuzzFeed, you can read my latest feature, " The Good Wife Is The Best Show On Television Right Now," in which I praise CBS' The Good Wife and, well, hail it as the best show currently on television. (Yes, you read that right.) There is no need to be delicate here: If you’re not watching The Good Wife, you are missing out on the best show on television. I won’t qualify that statement in the least — I’m not talking about the best show currently airing on broadcast television or outside of cable or on premium or however you want to sandbox this remarkable show. No, the legal drama is the best thing currently airing on any channel on television. That The Good Wife is this perfect in its sixth season is reason to truly celebrate. Few shows embrace complexity and risk-taking in t
