Some hot prospects for fall TV series

Newsday

What were the most-buzzed-about shows at the recent TV critics’ press tour? Here’s the top 10.

1. “American Horror Story” (FX): This new show from “Glee’s” Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk had nice, creepy, opening credits.

2. “Suburgatory” (ABC): Great cast — including Jeremy Sisto and Cheryl Hines — sold this package about a divorced dad who moves his teenage daughter from the city to the ’burbs.

3. “Prime Suspect” (NBC): This remake of the Helen Mirren classic stars Maria Bello.

4. “PanAm” (ABC): Great-looking period piece; nostalgia sells.

5. “A Gifted Man” (CBS): All the network’s dramas look solid, but casting here — Patrick Wilson as a coldhearted surgeon, Jennifer Ehle as his late ex-wife — is best of all.

6. “2 Broke Girls” (CBS): Sizzling pilot with Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, from Michael Patrick King got a good reception.

7. “Terra Nova” (Fox): Could go higher on this list, but critical reception to the dinosaur-era drama wasn’t wildly enthusiastic.

8. “Homeland” (Showtime): Damian Lewis as a Marine POW who returns home.

9. “Ringer” (CW): Three words — Sarah. Michelle. Gellar.

10. “Grimm” (NBC): Funky sci-fi drama based loosely on the Grimm Brothers’ fairy tales is the dark horse of the season.
