And now it's FOX's turn. I'm still mad at them for cancelling *Pitch* for some of these. Kylie Bunbury and Mark-Paul Gosselaar were so good. Even Mark Consuelos was getting it done. My grudges, they run *deep*, FOX.

Anyway, here's what's new:

***Ghosted***

This one is Adam Scott and Craig Robinson, and it's a very weird mash-up of *Men in Black* and *Reaper*. I also am unclear why it's called *Ghosted*; you can't just take a hot slang term and slap it on a show and hope people don't notice (or that you can retrofit it). Maybe there's backstory that explains it. Or maybe it's what viewers will do to it. ZING.

***LA to Vegas***

And THIS is like *The Office* meets *A View From The Top.* Kim Matula is charming (you might know her from *UnREAL* season two, though my history with her stretches back to *The Bold and the Beautiful*). It's... fine? But it hinges on two jokes about the pilot, Dylan McDermott, blithely getting hammered or stoned pre-flight, and I cannot get on board with that. Pun intended. It taps in to ALL MY FEARS and I will never find it funny. Further, I have no idea what kind of legs this series has unless it turns halfway into *Wings*. We cannot be stuck on a plane with these people all the time.

***The Orville*** 

This is, essentially, *Star Trek* with a lovable-losers sensibility. Seth MacFarlane and all his shows give me hives, so HARD PASS FOR ME, even though I like Adrianne Palicki and Scott Grimes (my beloved Malarkey from *Band of Brothers*). Just go watch *Galaxy Quest* instead. It will be more fulfilling and it has 100 percent more Sigourney Weaver and Alan Rickman and 100 percent less Seth MacFarlane. NOTE: Because I said all that, everyone will probably love it.

***The Gifted***

This is the *X-Men* show, with Amy Acker, Jamie Chung, and Stephen Moyer, whose American accent at one or two points is so bad he almost sounds Russian. This looks like *Heroes*, but heavier, possibly without the underlying humor.

 ***The Resident***

And here we have Matt Czuchry and Emily VanCamp, with Bruce Greenwood as an evil egotistical doctor. The trailer has a heartwarming ending, but for a while there it plays like a thriller that's meant to make our blood run cold about all the crazy crap that's going to inadvertently kill us next time we're in a hospital. So first, FOX freaks me out anew about pilots, and now doctors? THANKS SO MUCH.
