Georgetown (Josh Schwartz, Stephanie Savage). A sexy soap centered around young people behind the power brokers of Washington DC. Stars Jimmy Wolk, Katie Cassidy, Daisy Betts, Joe Mazzello, Condola Rashad (drama).

Oddly, this is filming on my block in Brooklyn this weekend.

I am absurdly grateful that it's not filming in DC.

Apparently it's a woman's world. Pilot season told me so.

New doctor is very nice. So was the lady in the waiting room that complimented my steel toed mary janes.

Zen, if you bought it on a card they can look up the purchase with that. Well, most stores can.

Pan Am (Jack Orman, Nancy Ganis, Sid Ganis, Tommy Schlamme). A sexy soap set against the jet age, focusing on the stewardesses and pilots and their glamorous world full of adventures. Stars Margot Robbie, Michael Mosley, Karine Vanasse, Christina Ricci, Kellie Garner, Jonah Lotan (drama).

Seriously? When was the last time airline travel was glamorous? Bah. It's unclear if it's set in the 50s/60s; if it is, we get more sexism a la Mad Men. If it's not, it's just blah.

Untitled Tim Allen (Jack Burditt). Even though the world around him has declared the traditional male an ‘endangered species,’ Tim Fitzgerald (Allen) is fighting for his manhood in a world that is being increasingly dominated by women (comedy).

Again?

My Frickin’ Family (Erica Rivinoja, Peter Traugott). Two young parents’ lives change after they have a baby and the four grandparents butt in. Stars Harish Patel, Chris Rich, Ellen Woglom, Ravi Patel, Mo Gaffney (comedy).

Looks like the main characters are an interracial couple, Indian and white. Have we had that on TV before?

Apartment 23 (Nahnatchka Khan, David Hemingson). The story is about a naive young woman (Dreama Walker) who comes to New York City and ends up with a trouble-making party-girl roommate (Krysten Ritter). Also stars James Van Der Beek as himself. (comedy).

That last line might make it worth watching.

Brave New World (Peter Tolan, Michael Wimer). This single-camera workplace comedy follows a group of unusual characters at Pilgrim Village, a theme park that specializes in recreations of New England in 1647. Stars Ed Begley, Jr, Robby Benson, Nick Braun (comedy).

Could be fun.

Bent (Ted Quill). Single-camera comedy about a recently divorced Type A single mom who tries hard not to fall for the sexy surfer dude contractor she hires to re-do her kitchen. Stars Amanda Peet, Jeffrey Tambor, David Walton (comedy).

Who's the Boss?

I think it is set in the sixties -- it says "jet age," and Pan-Am hasn't been around for a while.

Big Bang theory, though they are not married

Pan-Am hasn't been around for a while.

t facepalm You are so correct. Which means I won't be able to watch these women getting harrassed, patted on the butt, and generally patronized by their coworkers and their customers. I mean, I could, but I won't.

Yes. "as him/herself" characters tend to be a lot of fun. NPH, Malcovich, and that sitcom with Jennifer Grey.
