Best New TV Shows of 2009

It’s still early in the new season, but of all the new fall TV shows, this is what I’m watching:

[b]* Modern Family[/b] – With Ed O’Neil as the unwitting patriarch, Modern Family is a half-hour comedy about three families–related in different ways–getting by in the modern world. At times laugh-out-loud funny, at times poignant, this is the best new comedy I’ve seen in years. Totally worth the effort.

[b]* Flashword[/b] – This sci-fi whodunit — about a global blackout that lasted two minutes, with everyone in the world "flashing forward" six months — looks good, has a good mystery and a novel concept that keeps me coming back. At times, it does too much explaining so that we "get it," but so far, so good. I’m in. For now, anyway.

* Community[/b] – There’s no new ground broken here — a lawyer is busted for not having a real degree, and goes to community college to get one. While hitting on the hot chick, our lawyer starts a "study group," with his ragtag assemble players, including Chevy Chase. Has promise. Good but not great, seems like it could really pick up its game once it has a few more episodes under its belt. We’ll see. I’m giving it a chance.
