CBS Fall Trailers: Old Friends Like Kevin James, Michael Weatherly and Matt LeBlanc Return
This morning, CBS released its fall schedule, and there were a few new shows on it, including the return of some old friends. After their upfront presentation, they released first look trailers of their new shows:
Kevin Can Wait
Kevin James plays a retired cop who just wants to enjoy his leisure time. But of course, he has friends and a family who just won’t let him relax. It looks like a Kevin James comedy, which is right up CBS’ alley.

Man With A Plan
Matt LeBlanc plays a new stay-at-home dad who basically finds out from the first second that, as much as he loves his kids, he hates being the primary caregiver. In the first look, Jenna Fischer plays LeBlanc’s wife, but that role is being recast.
The Great Indoors
It’s old school vs. new school as Joel McHale plays a journalist for an adventurer who is brought back from the wild by his boss (Stephen Fry, of all people) to supervise his magazine’s digital team, full of millennials who are more used to seeing the world in terms of page views and trophies for participation.

Bull
Michael Weatherly didn’t stay away long, did he? Right after leaving NCIS, he’s back as a jury consultant, in a show based on the early career of Dr. Phil McGraw (yes, that Dr. Phil McGraw).
MacGyver
Lucas Till plays the title character in this reimagining of the ’80s hit. Yes, MacGyver is younger than before, but he can still create an explosive device out of chewing gum, a paper clip and shoelaces.
Pure Genius
Medicine meets Silicon Valley, where a tech billionaire creates the most advanced medical center on earth. Dermot Mulroney and Agustus Prew star.
Training Day
Fifteen years after the events of the movie of the same name comes a new pair of cops, a grizzled vet who rides the line between enforcing the law and being a vigilante (Bill Paxton) and his new trainee (Justin Cornwell).
Star Trek
Coming to CBS All Access in January, this is the first look at the logo for the latest iteration of the classic sci fi series.

I like most of them it looks like I'll watch both comedies, Bull, Pure Genius, & Training Day. Not crazy about the Star Trek shows anymore anyway.

The comedies don't interest me (I don't care for either of the two stars). MacGyver looks promising, although I wish the main character didn't look like a college student hiking the Appalachian Trail. Also, is he supposed to be the other MacGyver's son?

He's supposed to be a younger version of the original like Young Indiana Jones was.

I think that I will try the comedies out and the shows Bull and Pure Genius both sound great as well. I will give MacGyver a try but since I loved the original as much as I did I am not holding out much hope of it being comperable.

Too bad Star Trek won't be on TV! I'm not about to pay for online access just to watch one show.

MacGyver looks pretty good. I'm not too sure about the other shows. The comedies don't look very funny to me.

I try not to pre-judge remakes or reboots until I've seen them. Some don't work, but others (Hawaii Five-0 for one) actually turn out better than the originals. It's hard to tell by a short trailer, but it's enough to spark my interest.
