FOX Picks Up ‘Back To You’

Sometimes network executives boggle the mind with the shows they decide to pick up or, adversely, kick to the curb. One such moment is FOX’s decision to pick up the horribly hacky news anchor comedy, Back To You, for a full 24-episode season. Are you kidding me? Ok, I like Kelsey Grammer, I really do - and I think he has a lot of dry comedy potential. But Patricia Heaton? Uck! There is nothing about Heaton that would make me subject myself to a half hour of listening to her voice set up hacky jokes that are only validated by some crappy laugh-track. And with the not-off-the-charts ratings the show has gotten, I’d guess that I’m not alone. How a great show like HBO’s Lucky Louie gets dumped while this show is allowed to stay on the air is beyond me.
Oh yeah, and ABC picked up six more scripts for Samantha Who?. More like, “Samantha Who gives a crap?”
