    Breaking Pointe: Season 1
    It shows only scant signs of life while also failing to be all that revealing about the unique profession it depicts.
    • Metascore: 64
    • Ed Bark 25
    American Horror Story: Season 2
    Some of its imagery is arresting. But this is mostly a sorry, unfortunate and even contemptuous enterprise.

    Coma: Season 1
    Plodding and stupefying when it's not being laughable and poorly acted, this is entertainment fit for an alternative to water-boarding.
    • Metascore: 56
    • Ed Bark 25
    Body of Proof: Season 1
    Body of Proof for the most part plays dead within the realm of plausible crime-solving, interesting characters and assumptions that Delany's once-promising career would do more than wither on this vine.
    • Metascore: 55

    Breaking In: Season 1
    This series is a complete mis-fire. There are no relatable characters, every joke's a dud and Slater seems to have no earthly idea what's befallen him.

    Total Blackout: Season 1
    In the annals of all-time worst game shows, this one takes its rightful place alongside ABC's Conveyor Belt of Love, which soiled prime-time back in January 2010.
    • Metascore: 52
    • Ed Bark 25
    Joan & Melissa: Joan Knows Best?: Season 1
    Episodes are one hour each, requiring ample manufactured "drama" to keep this thing percolating.
    • Metascore: 50
    • Ed Bark 25
    Best Friends Forever: Season 1
    Watching BFF leaves only a dull, but throbbing headache.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Ed Bark 16
    Sullivan & Son: Season 1
    Sullivan & Son is utterly artless in its efforts to be an equal opportunity offender.
    • Metascore: 47
    • Ed Bark 25
    Happily Divorced: Season 1
    Drescher still looks good a dozen years removed from the last season of The Nanny. But the lines coming from her mouth are too obvious for words.
    • Metascore: 43
    • Ed Bark 0
    Perfect Couples: Season 1
    Unfocused, unfunny and all together unbearable, Perfect Couples at least affords NBC a chance to hit rock bottom before the new owners begin their massive cleanup effort.

    • Ed Bark 25
    Save Me: Season 1
    Sometimes they’re [TV networks are] still smart enough to know when they have a stinker.
    • Metascore: 42
    • Ed Bark 25
    Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior: Season 1
    Suspect Behavior is in every way a grind, with even the usually very capable Whitaker looking lost at sea with his halting, stumbling, keep-pausing-for-effect portrayal of crime team head Sam "Coop" Cooper.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Ed Bark 25
    The Neighbors: Season 1
    This latest aliens-meet-earthlings sitcom is just too dopily executed for any long-term stay on this planet.
    • Metascore: 41
    • Ed Bark 25
    Family Tools: Season 1
    It’s a grindingly bad half-hour with some even worse finishing touches.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Ed Bark 16
    Roseanne's Nuts: Season 1
    Roseanne's Nuts is her way of taking a dump in your living room.
    • Metascore: 39
    • Ed Bark 16
    Zero Hour: Season 1
    Preposterous, ridiculously earnest, poorly scripted and laughably acted, this is the series that Anthony Edwards chose to re-enter prime-time after a long tenure as one of ER's main men. He should've stayed in bed.
    • Metascore: 38
    • Ed Bark 25
    7 Days of Sex: Season 1
    A decidedly bland and tedious weekly series in which couples attempt to mend their frayed relationships by doing it for a full week.
    • Metascore: 36
    • Ed Bark 25
    Are You There, Chelsea?: Season 1
    Everything in Chelsea seems painfully forced.
    • Metascore: 35
    • Ed Bark 0
    Brand X With Russell Brand: Season 1
    The star of this ill-conceived show, which also features former congressional policy advisor Matt Stoller as a very uncomfy foil, completely fails to get untracked from halting start to grinding finish.
    • Metascore: 33
    • Ed Bark 16
    Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp: Season 1
    Life's A Tripp in reality is nothing more than another Lifetime stumble.
    • Metascore: 30
    • Ed Bark 25
    Charlie's Angels: Season 1
    It leads off the network's Thursday prime-time schedule, with the action originating in Miami and the scripts apparently bought from Godawful, Inc.
    • Metascore: 28
    • Ed Bark 25
    Most Eligible Dallas: Season 1
    Is it all a hoot to watch? Definitely, but probably not intentionally so.
    • Metascore: 26
    • Ed Bark 16
    Liz & Dick: Season 1
    Those looking for depth will find none. Liz & Dick triumphs, however, as an amusement park for fans of the deeply dreadful.
