"A TO Z"
This is the A-to-Z story of Andrew (Ben Feldman, "Mad Men") and Zelda (Cristin Milioti, "How I Met Your Mother") - a pair that almost wasn't - and all that happened from the day they met. Andrew has always been a secret romantic ... not above crooning to Celine Dion while driving to work, with dreams of finding "the one." He imagines her to be just like that shimmering beauty he spotted that night in that silver dress at that concert two years ago. Zelda, having grown up with a hippie mom who believed the universe would provide for everything, rebelled into a no-nonsense practical lawyer who prefers the control of online dating. But when a computer glitch sends her a total mismatch, she's asked to come in for an interview at the Internet dating site where Andrew works, and this is where it all begins. Andrew and Zelda meet for the first time and despite their differences, sparks fly. She thinks it's chance. He thinks it's fate. After all, he's convinced she's the shimmering girl in the silver dress. Is it true love forever or just a detour in destiny?
The cast also includes Henry Zebrowski, Lenora Crichlow and Christina Kirk.
Writers Ben Queen ("Drive"), Rashida Jones ("Parks and Recreation") and Will McCormack ("Will & Grace") serve as executive producers. "A to Z" is a production of Warner Bros. Television and Le Train Train.
"CONSTANTINE"
Based on the wildly popular comic book series "Hellblazer" from DC Comics, seasoned demon hunter and master of the occult John Constantine (Matt Ryan, "Criminal Minds") specializes in giving hell... hell. Armed with a ferocious knowledge of the dark arts and his wickedly naughty wit, he fights the good fight - or at least he did. With his soul already damned to hell, he's decided to leave his do-gooder life behind, but when demons target Liv (Lucy Griffiths, "True Blood"), the daughter of one of Constantine's oldest friends, he's reluctantly thrust back into the fray - and he'll do whatever it takes to save her. Before long, it's revealed that Liv's "second sight" - an ability to see the worlds behind our world and predict supernatural occurrences - is a threat to a mysterious new evil that's rising in the shadows. Now it's not just Liv who needs protection; the angels are starting to get worried too. So, together, Constantine and Liv must use her power and his skills to travel the country, find the demons that threaten our world and send them back where they belong. After that, who knows... maybe there's hope for him and his soul after all.
The cast also includes Harold Perrineau and Charles Halford.
Writer Daniel Cerone ("The Mentalist," "Dexter") serves as executive producer with David S. Goyer ("Man of Steel," "The Dark Knight Rises"). "Constantine" is produced from Bonanza Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. The show is based upon characters published by DC Entertainment.
"THE MYSTERIES OF LAURA"
Debra Messing ("Will & Grace") stars as Laura Diamond, a brilliant NYPD homicide detective who balances her "Columbo" day job with a crazy family life that includes two unruly twin boys and a soon-to-be ex-husband - also a cop - who just can't seem to sign the divorce papers. Between cleaning up after her boys and cleaning up the streets, she'd be the first to admit she has her "hot mess" moments in this hilariously authentic look at what it really means to be a "working mom" today. Somehow she makes it all work with the help of her sexy and understanding partner, and things becomes even more complicated when her husband ironically becomes her boss at the precinct. For Laura, every day is a high-wire balancing act.
The cast also includes Laz Alonso and Janina Gavankar.
Writer Jeff Rake ("Boston Legal") and director McG ("Supernatural") serve as executive producer with Greg Berlanti ("Brothers & Sisters"), Aaron Kaplan ("The Neighbors") and Todd Lituchy. "The Mysteries of Laura" is a production of Warner Bros. Television, Berlanti Productions and Kapital Entertainment.

I like Janina Gavankar so I'll probably check out The Mysteries of Laura although it doesn't sound that great.
ReplyDeleteA to Z - Cristin Milioti & "a detour in destiny?" - Honestly, I'm concerned.
ReplyDeleteConstantine - I wasn't gonna watch it, but now I kinda consider it. Lucy Griffiths (Robin Hood!) is in it ;)
The Mysteries of Laura - huh. Not interested.
Mysteries of Laura is supposed to be supernatural, right? What's so supernatural about it exactly?
ReplyDeleteOoo Harold Perrineau is in Constantine I mean it was on my watch list anyway but added Perrineau is good
ReplyDeleteIt's not supernatural. Where did you hear that?
ReplyDeleteMysteries of Laura!
ReplyDeleteTV Line or Deadline, some point in the past few months. Just a brief "the supernatural Mysteries of Laura" lol. It sounds interesting either way though. The twin thing I don't quite get, are they just misbehaved or are we talking Good Son "evil"? Hmmm. I guess I'll have my answers when NBC releases the trailers next week.
ReplyDeleteHe's the one thing that makes me not excited for it.
ReplyDeleteIt depends on if he's going to be screaming "WAAAAAAALT" for the entire show or not.
ReplyDeleteaww shame, I have a soft spot for ex Lost actors.
ReplyDeleteOn the Hollywood Reporter it says it's described as a procedural with sharp humor and Debra Messing's character as quirky. As for the twin boys, they are probably talking about them being misbehaved all the time.
ReplyDeleteYes Constantine!!
ReplyDeleteCristin looks great.
ReplyDeleteI'm terrified of how Constantine is going to turn out - I'm a huge fan of the comics and the film didn't do it justice at all
ReplyDeleteWhat did they do to Lucy Griffiths' hair!? That's just not right.
ReplyDeleteCOnstantine is the only one of these that really appeal to me although I do think I'll probably give A to Z a sample
ReplyDeleteCan't wait for Constantine - this cast is phenomenal!
ReplyDeleteExcited for Constantine, the casting looks good, and A to Z, only because of Chrstin Miloti, not sure about Mysteries of Laura.
ReplyDeleteCristin Milioti And Ben Feldman Look Like They Will Have Great Chemistry.
ReplyDeleteThe Mysteries of Laura looks just like a french show : Candice Renoir ! It's really fun, Candice has 4 children, including 2 young twins. Her future-ex-husband has trouble leaving, but he's no cop. And her collegue is sexy and fall in love with her. I love that show. Hope this one will be as good !
