Worst New Fall TV Shows 2016
3 New Shows You Can Feel OK About Skipping This Fall
Pure Genius
Starring: Dermot Mulroney and Augustus Prew
When it starts: Thursday, Oct. 27, at 10 p.m. on CBS
Watching Pure Genius, you can't help but imagine a room full of TV executives wickedly rubbing their hands together and trying to come up with the next House. "What if there's a spirited young entrepreneur who enlists the help of a veteran doctor to help him run his high-tech hospital?" says one. "And at first the older one doesn't trust the young guy, but eventually he realizes that he may be onto something," another says. "And they make the perfect team," says man the head of the table, polishing off his whiskey.
Just because you have a formula doesn't mean it works. In this case, it feels manufactured, and even Mulroney (playing the aforementioned doctor) looks bored.
Watch the trailer for Pure Genius.
