Kelsey Grammer and Patricia Heaton, who co-starred in Fox’s Back to You for its solitary season, are each back in their own separate sitcoms, both of which feature a major “but…” factor.

Well, now we know where all the money is going that NBC is saving by airing The Jay Leno Show every night at 10pm—towards the massive special effects in Trauma. Too bad the show itself is little more than a framework for helicopter crashes and exploding cars.

My Antonio opens with the same dinner that ended the last episode last week, when Antonio dragged Jessica into the bushes to say goodbye. Now he explains to the girls that since he is a “working actor,” their challenge the next morning will be to perform soap opera scenes with him in pairs. This is actually the first challenge that doesn’t feel arbitrary—hula dancing anyone?

The CW has shown no mercy for The Beautiful Life: TBL's low ratings, canceling the Ashton Kutcher-produced series about the lives of models after only two episodes. The drama-afflicted show (starring Mischa Barton, who garnered headlines over the summer for her sudden hospitalization) just couldn't beat out fellow time slot holders and critical faves Glee, Modern Family, and Cougar Town (not to mention SVU) for viewers. Goodbye, beautiful people! Hopefully some of its talented cast will find work on other CW shows, a la last season's casualty Privileged, whose star Joanna Garcia is now appearing on Gossip Girl as Nate Archibald's new love interest.

Even Lipstick Jungle’s Sarah Hyland made the cut, as Claire’s whiny teenage daughter Hayley.

Once you get past your assumption that The Good Wife is going to be an adult drama along the lines of the much-missed Once and Again and will instead be an elaborately set up courtroom drama, the hour long turns out to be one of the best shows to premiere yet this season.
