abc update

Aca va la descripción de las series nuevas!

* SAM I AM: Christina Applegate plays Samantha, who wakes from a coma having lost her memory, and has to rediscover everyone she knows and sicover if she likes herself. What About Brian fans: Barry Watson has already found new work here. Like many pilots from last season, it sounds like a great premise--for a movie.
* CAVEMEN: Three cavemen -- Nick, Jamie and Joel -- are cavemen facing bias in modern society. Can the clever premise of the Geico ads -- which work because the cavemen in them are totally not sitcommy but are played straight -- survive the translation to a half-hour? In a room full of advertisers, the trailer gets almost no laughs.
* CARPOOLERS: Pretty much what it sounds like. This sitcom, with a Kids in the Hall pedigree, is a male-bonding story of office workers who share a ride to work. I want to see this. Very funny-looking trailer, even if it has the look of brilliant ABC comedies (Sons and Daughters, etc.) that the network cancels immediately.
* CASHMERE MAFIA: Networks have been trying to find a broadcast version of Sex and the City for nearly a decade. Then ABC did that with Grey's Anatomy. But it's not averse to doing it again, which is why it hired Sex's Darren Star to create this drama about four professional women, their careers, their romances and the expensive restaurant tables around which they talk about them. (See also: NBC's Lipstick Jungle.)
* PUSHING DAISIES: This much-buzzed drama, about a detective who can raise the dead by touching them (and kills them again with a second touch) has a hyperstylized fairy tale look, and a romantic twist: the protagonist has raised his true love from the dead and can never touch her again. Intriguing. Whimsical. Definitely near the top of the watch-first pilot pile when it arrives.
* PRIVATE PRACTICE: It's more Grey's Anatomy. You may now back up the money truck.
* DIRTY SEXY MONEY: Peter Krause is the high-priced lawyer for a spoiled, corrupt rich family. Definitely salacious. Possibly sleazilicious. And Dan Rather has a cameo!
* BIG SHOTS: Because men need their own Grey's Anatomy, ABC is debuting this dramedy about the marriage and/or love lives of a group of male pals. Lots of sex, lots of golf. "Men. We're the new women," says Dylan McDermott in the trailer.
* WOMEN'S MURDER CLUB: Sadly, the women are not doing the murdering but solving them. A crime procedural that looks like Fox Force Five (four, actually) if Quentin Tarantino sold the idea to Jerry Bruckheimer, who then made it for CBS.
* OPRAH'S BIG GIVE: From the brief clips, this is a charity competition show, which involves people racing to give away money, and Oprah screaming really loud, "Give big or go home!" in her best "You're getting a car!" voice.
* ELI STONE: A successful lawyer starts hearing music in his head, which somehow changes his life, makes him search for meaning and... oh, hell, I'm gonna have to wait for the pilot.
* MISS GUIDED: A single-camera comedy from Ashton Kutcher--wait, come back!--about a former high-school nerd (Arrested Development's Judy Greer) who grows up and returns to school as the guidance counselor. Steals the basic theme of Never Been Kissed, but then I liked that movie. Which probably makes me just about a womany enough man for ABC.
