It's Fall or Nothing

In the US the TV networks have just announced news of their new Fall schedules. It's what looks like a mixed bag. Jason Alexander is having another tilt at post-Seinfeld sitcom success with an unamed show about real life sports columnist Tony Kornheiser. The big hope must be Joey.

However there are some corkers in the pack. A remake of Mr. Ed? What life must be like as an American TV exec, eh? From taking an existing show's format and 'reworking' it to remaking British shows, now they're rehashing hackneyed ideas from the 60s.

But that's not the best of the new series. Here's Father of the Pride, an animated show about a family of white lions who work for Siegfried and Roy .

On a brighter note Seth MacFarlane follows Family Guy with American Dad.
