8 New Shows Totally Worth Watching This Fall

Starring: Katy Mixon and Diedrich Bader

When it starts: Tuesday, Oct. 11, at 8:30 p.m. on ABC

I'm so glad ABC changed the title of this comedy (originally called The Second Fattest Housewife in Westport), otherwise I may have written off this show. While the pilot does revolve around a whip-smart housewife who fears she may become the "fattest housewife" in town after her neighbor moves, you can easily picture this series moving beyond fat jokes — especially because the beautiful Mixon (Mike & Molly) is far from fat.
