I know we've got a long, hopefully hot, summer before the fall shows hit, but it is my duty to keep you informed so you can plan ahead.
CBS has a duo of legal shows debuting, and the jury's out on both. For your consideration....
BLUE BLOODS A 'law enforcement family' drama from Sopranos producers, starring Tom Selleck, Bridget Moynahan and Donnie Wahlberg.
Pros It's from Sopranos producers. Everyone loves Tom Selleck. And who doesn't love a Wahlberg?
Cons Is it just me, or has Bridget Moynahan cornered the market on playing pinchy characters?
Worrisome that in this trailer, when listing why the show is exciting, Tom Selleck says "it has plots".
Let's at least hope he's right.
THE DEFENDERS Two Vegas lawyers bend the rules in this buddy comedy. Starring Jim Belushi and Jerry O'Connell.
Pros The trailer seems to indicate that it has that 80's Beverly Hills Cop vibe to it, if you're into that sort of thing.
I've sort of always loved Jim Belushi ever since he played Rob Lowe's obnoxious sidekick in "About Last Night', no matter that he's kind of the king of the kitschy.
Plus, I went to a taping of "According to Jim" once and he pulled me out of the audience and serenaded me. True story.
Cons Is it possible to watch Jerry O'Connell and not think about how he got Rebecca Romijn from John Stamos?

Gee, let me guess(concerning Bridget Moynahan comment)you're a Tom Brady fan? Give it a rest. She's beautiful and talented, not to mention classy.
Bridget's mom...is that you? I didn't say BRIDGET was pinchy, she just plays it on TV. Whitney in "Six Degrees"? Pinchy. Halley in "Serendipity"? Kinda pinchy. Natasha, the character that made her famous in "Sex and the City"...Pinch-o-rama!
