Jane Levy (jcolburnlevy), petergallagher and MarySteenburgen lead the superb cast of NBC's new musical dramedy ZoeysExtraordinaryPlaylist. Read the review:
is ABC's latest in a long line of mythology-driven shows with a science fiction twist,has some elements of freshness, but at least as much familiarity for those seeking it. In fact, the San Francisco setting and use of songs to represent a gift that might be prophesy or could just as easily be a serious medical ailment will cause some select viewers instantly to recall ABC'sWonderfalls. This was a genre broadcast really wanted to mine back in the '00s, with mixed success.
I’m less convinced by the chemistry between Zoey and either of her love interests — Astin, as ever, displays amiably theatrical chops — and there’s been no indication thus far on what this show did to attract a performer as overqualified as Graham for an underwritten “snippy boss” role. The question for any show with a tone this precarious, especially in the broadcast world, is how longcan remain in tune. Broadcast isn't designed to let odd shows maintain their oddness, something Winsberg knows all too well. He created ABC's, a 2005 John Stamos comedy that started with a format-bending premise — events taking place in a single night, etc. — and became a conventional rom-com after network tinkering.
Cast: Jane Levy, Skylar Astin, Alex Newell, John Clarence Stewart, with Peter Gallagher and Mary Steenburgen, plus special guest star Lauren Graham.Premieres Tuesday, January 7 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on NBC, before airing on Sundays at 9 p.m. ET/PT starting on February 16.
