DO NO HARM Starring: Steven Pasquale, Alana De La Garca, Michael Esper, Ruta Gedmintas, and Phylicia Rashad Created by David Schulner Written by David Schulner, Directed by Michael Mayer Do No Harm is a new medical drama on NBC with a Jekyll and Hyde twist. Smart and successful neurosurgeon Dr. Jason Cole (Steven Pasquale) becomes the evil Ian Price at 8:25pm every night and he stays that way until 8:25am the next morning. Rounding out the main cast are co-workers of Cole including his boss Dr. Young (Phylicia Rashad) as well as a potential love interest, Dr. Lena Solis (Alana De La Garza), and a woman from his past, Olivia Flynn (Ruta Gedmintas). THE GOOD: Do No Harm seemed to get better as it went along in the pilot which gives me a little bit of hope for future episodes. The "Hyde" side (Ian Price) was far more entertaining as Pasquale seemed to relish that side of his role and the character was much more interesting. The show seems like it might ...

GOOD WEEK: "THE FOLLOWING" FOX has had a real rough fall especially with its new shows - The Mob Doctor and Ben and Kate have been cancelled while The Mindy Project has been a huge disappointment. FOX has very little on the bench so its last best hope is The Following . So far, so good after a strong Monday premiere that gave FOX some hope for the future. Now of course the 3.1 demo premiere is similar to last year's failed Terra Nova and Alcatraz , but the show has had real positive feedback. The best sign to me is that it held up well over the hour which means it didn't turn off viewers with the gore and spookiness. FOX is running it for 15 weeks straight and the competition isn't any tougher until The Voice and Dancing with the Stars return in late March.  BAD WEEK: TUESDAY COMEDIES Heading into the season, there was a lot of talk about how much comedy there was on Tuesday night including a logjam at 9pm. Now several months in, the results are not good....

Two Tuesday night sitcoms were yanked from their lineups this week and while the networks have yet to officially cancel them, they are dead enough for me to consider them cancelled. First up, ABC's second year sitcom Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23 was yanked this week in favor of a double helping of Happy Endings . The show had a solid debut late last spring airing behind Modern Family but it fell on its face this fall airing in an adult comedy block with Endings as it couldn't even beat disappointing competing comedies The Mindy Project and The New Normal . Apartment still has several unaired episodes which could get burned off in the summer but it's incredibly unlikely that we'll see it again during the season. Endings will get to finish off its season and it's heading into the all-important season four but its numbers are awfully low too so who knows what will happen. Also yanked was FOX's Tuesday newbie Ben and Kate . The show has been t...

THE FOLLOWING Starring: Kevin Bacon, Jeananne Goossen, Natalie Zea, Shawn Ashmore, Valorie Curry, Nico Tortorella, Adan Canto, Kyle Catlett, Maggie Grace, and James Purefoy Created by Kevin Williamson Written by Kevin Williamson, Directed by Marcos Siega The Following is a new dark and psychological thriller from Kevin Williamson, writer of many horror films including Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer . The show is also notable for being the first TV vehicle for popular film star Kevin Bacon. In the show, Bacon plays former FBI agent Ryan Hardy who is brought back when the serial killer he captured, Dr. Joseph Carroll (James Purefoy), escapes from prison and resumes his killing spree with the help of his many cult followers. Rounding out the cast is other FBI agents and people from Carroll's past including his ex-wife (and Ryan's ex-lover as well) Claire (Natalie Zea).

GOOD WEEK: "NCIS" The veteran CBS shows are showing their muscle in recent weeks. After The Big Bang Theory soared to new highs last week, popular drama NCIS came within decimal points of breaking an all time viewership record. It soared from its last new episode before Christmas and will easily be the most watched show of the week in a week that saw American Idol return. Despite being in its 10th (!) season, the show is showing absolutely no signs of slowing down and remains a cornerstone to CBS programming. For some reason, it never gets the flashy press other hits do but it has been rock solid for years now and that's very impressive. BAD WEEK: NBC'S MIDSEASON NEWBIES NBC had a strong fall for its newbies as Revolution, Chicago Fire, and Go On all overperformed and The New Normal and Guys with Kids didn't completely collapse. But the new entries at midseason aren't faring as well. Both Deception and 1600 Penn took major nosedives this week to barel...

GOOD WEEK: THURSDAY SUPERSTARS Thursday night is right now boasting two shows that are defying all logic with the downward trend of broadcast network performance. First, The Big Bang Theory on CBS soars higher every season as it hit a new series high this week and is posting numbers that no comedy has done regularly since Friends .

Then on ABC, Scandal continues to climb higher week after week. This is proof that a "watercooler" show can still work as the buzz around this show has reached fever pitch and it continues to grow. It is now easily beating timeslot competitor Elementary and holding on to nearly all of its Grey's Anatomy 's lead-in. It is moving into the upper echelon of network dramas in the demo which is impressive after how middling the ratings were in season one and even...
