Brilliant Minds: Dr. Oliver Wolf(played by Zachary Quinto of “Heroes” & “Star Trek”) is an eccentric but incredibly gifted neurologist who suffers from a rare condition that gives him a unique perspective on care, fueling his mission to change the way the world sees his patients. After his unusual methods result in his dismissal, he takes his unconventional approach to a new hospital: Bronx General, where he leads a team of bright young interns in tackling some of the world's most puzzling psychological cases. With their help, he must also challenge his own personal and social limitations by navigating all the expectations, politics and complicated relationships that come with the job.
Verdict: Renewed. There is a
huge void on the airwaves for medical dramas that stick out or just have an
interesting plot. All three have come and gone off the air in the Good Doctor,
The Resident and New Amsterdam. NBC does have Chicago Med but a show about a
doctor who cares too much is what has been missing since New Amsterdam was
cancelled. That show was about a doctor trying to change the medical system from
within as the head of the hospital but this is also a doctor trying to change
the system on how we view patients even if it breaks the rules. You need to
give Quinto all the accolades on really selling this character and knowing the
entire medical lingo as he studied it instead of just reciting it. The hope is
the network lets the writers and creators continue building the story of him as
a doctor but also the other doctors he is working with as most medical shows
need more than a season to get their flow in storytelling. It is an adjustment
to have a show with not just a monologue to start each episode but also full of
flashbacks to help him figure out things when he has breakthroughs. It is
unique to have actually shown someone with his illness of face blindness; most
people think it’s not real. It is too coincidental that both his parents are
doctors but sometimes that can be true in the real world but his mom runs the
hospital (the only one that will give him a chance). The hope is they get more
in depth with the residents he has to work with since they are all unique in
different ways and one of them is very familiar to audiences from his days on
All-American and AP Bio in Spence Moore. Plus one of the neurosurgeons has been
on TV for awhile in Teddy Sears of Flash & American Horror Story as a
frenemy. Hopefully NBC gives them the time to grow because it has a
potential hit on their hands thanks to Quinto, the ensemble cast, the guest
stars and the apparent source material based on the books by Oliver Sacks.
Universal Basic Guys: It centers on two brothers, Mark and Hank Hoagies, who lose their jobs to automation and are given $3,000 a month in a new basic income program. Now, they're using their free time and free money to find purpose in a world where they're no longer needed.
Verdict: Cancelled: When will Fox get the message?! Stop renewing
shows before it even premiers! I know executives watch the pilot episode before
green lighting it but this one is worse than the rest of the ones they renewed
before it started. First off the animation looks terrible and weird. The voice
acting is terrible and I know it is by the two brothers who made this show but
they should have hired people who can do voice acting. The theme song is
terrible and it is the only thing that explains the situation the two main
characters are in because the pilot sure didn’t. There are too many bad,
terrible, sophomoric humor and jokes. Most of the writing is terrible too as
most episodes don’t make sense. They are trying too hard to be Family Guy with
a fat idiot doing dumb things in every episode. If he does something dumb or
terrible it doesn’t bother him from one episode to another with his hi-jinks
just without it being as funny. Only Fred Armisen lending one voice does it
give any credit to the show but his character doesn’t matter.

night football with two good QBs fighting it out. RB JK Dobbins scored the game
winning TD with less than 20 seconds left, his second of the game. QB Joe
