The Neighbors started off tin-eared and wildly uneven in the pilot, but the writing seems to improve in quality and subtlety each week. There’s the wisp of a great show hovering among the lowbrow humor, and it could either seize and substantiate that, or relapse into tepid mediocrity.

I instantly and completely loved Go On, and am too enamored of every part of it to judge it objectively. In for the long haul. The only change I would wish for would be for Allison Miller’s character to exchange frequency of appearances with John Cho’s, as I find the former’s rapport with Perry’s character to be much more interesting. I know it’s not going to happen since she comes from a string of failed shows, and John Cho is a bigger name (and I never believed I would ever write that about Harold Lee).

The rest of the shows can go the way of Animal Practice. Partners will be replaced on CBS by Rules of Engagement soon enough, and Guys with Kids will only continue if Whitney manages to pull up its ratings.
