New Show POLL: FREDDIE

The ALAN SEPINWALL Memorial* New Shows Poll:

* Alan's still not dead.

(Note: This is the last "New Shows Poll" of 2005. While it's possible that I may poll on the premieres of the various upcoming new Mid-Season shows, the scattered premiere schedules such shows endure makes it less than likely. At the least, I hope to be back in Fall 2006!)

Just one new series had its premiere tonight (10/12/05). It was:

"Freddie" (ABC)

All comments welcome; grades are good (letter grades preferred).
