TV Hits and Misses: Ad Age's Predictions for the 2016-17 Season

ABC's 'Designated Survivor' and NBC's 'This Is Us' Are Among Top Picks

By Jeanine Poggi. Published on May 19, 2016.

Now that the big English-language broadcasters have revealed their slate of new shows for the 2016-17 season, here are our network-by-network picks for which will last and which will quickly fade.

NBC

Hits:

It may be foolish to go with the heart on this one, but you couldn't help feeling all the feelings during the trailer for "This Is Us," starring Mandy Moore and Milo Ventimiglia. It isn't exactly clear what the series is about other than people who share the same birthday and whose lives intertwine in some way. The series is being compared to heartwarming "Parenthood," and in just 48 hours, the trailer garnered 17 million views on Facebook alone, a record for a new fall show, and was watched about 2.6 million times on YouTube.

Another contender is "Emerald City." Despite the delay (NBC originally ordered the series in 2014), the reimaging of "The Wizard Of Oz" feels epic and like something that could air on HBO. It's dark and gritty, with the trailer shown atNBC's upfront event Monday showing a Scarecrow that resembles Jesus on the cross.

And fans of "The Office" might take a liking to "Trial & Error," a mockumentary about a bright-eyed New York lawyer who arrives in a quirky small Southern town to defend a professor (John Lithgow) who is accused of murdering his wife.

Misses:

"The Good Place" looks very bad. Starring Kristen Bell and Ted Danson, the sitcom follows a woman who dies but is mistaken for someone else and is wrongly sent to the "good place" -- a type of heaven. While you want to root for a show with leads like Ms. Bell and Mr. Danson, there's only so many times we will be able to go along with the joke of Ms. Bell's character trying to curse, but unable to pronounce bad words in the "good place."

And with so many remakes of movies coming next season, it is inevitable at least a few will fail. "Taken," the remake of the movie staring Liam Neeson, is likely to be one of them. The trailer lacked the same tension and thrill of the original movie. If there's any movie-turned-TV show at NBC Universal that is worth betting on, it's "Shooter" on USA Network starring Ryan Phillippe.

ABC

Hits:

Kiefer Sutherland's return to TV in "Designated Survivor" is already receiving plenty of chatter. ABC is obviously very excited about the drama about a cabinet member who becomes president after a terrorist attack, giving the show a lengthy plug during its upfront presentation, including showing several minutes of the pilot rather than a flashy trailer. For those looking for another version of Jack Bauer, though, it doesn't look like "Designated Survivor" will deliver; the clip shown built a little more slowly than that. Oh and Kiefer Sutherland is wearing glasses.

And "When We Rise," an eight-hour event series on gay civil rights, looked powerful and emotional. There was complete silence followed by big applause after the clip; this one could be something special.

Misses: All of the alphabet network's new comedies. ABC has had some success over the past few years in adding new family comedies, but its success rate will likely drop substantially after next season. Its new crop of sitcoms, which feature an imaginary friend (who makes a macarena joke) and a talking dog, got few laughs during the network's upfront event. "American House Wife," "Downward Dog" and "Imaginary Mary" seem to be candidates for quick exits if the trailers are any indication. "Speechless," about a family including a child with special needs, may fare a bit better, but a second season still looks iffy.
