Grey's Anatomy's Caitlin McGee stars in this legal drama as Sydney Keller, a brilliant lawyer who used to work for her famous Memphis-based father's law firm until their strained relationship forced them to part ways. However, after the unexpected death of her philanthropist mother, Sydney and her father, Elijah, (played by L.A. Law, NYPD Blue, and The West Wing's Jimmy Smits) decide to give working together another try.

Based on the 2010 book The Council of Dads by Bruce Feiler, this drama series revolves around Scott Perry, a father who discovers he has cancer and decides to team up with his wife and six of their good friends to determine what fatherly wisdom they can pass on from Scott to his children after his death.

Created by Schitt's Creek co-creator and star Dan Levy, this sitcom tells the story of new empty-nesters Dave and Rebecca who are ready to enjoy life after raising their children — until Dave's parents announce that they are broke and in need of a place to stay. The Mindy Project's Adam Pally and Odd Mom Out actress Abby Elliot costar as Dave and Rebecca, with The Nanny's Fran Drescher and Wings alum Steven Weber playing Dave's overbearing parents Linda and Stew.

Inspired by the bestselling crime novel by Jeffery Deaver, The Bone Collector, this drama series follows a young female NYPD officer named Amelia Sachs and a quadriplegic ex-forensic criminalist named Lincoln Rhyme who team up to solve cases together. Russell Hornsby (best known as Edward "Eddie" Sutton on ABC Family's Lincoln Heights) plays Lincoln, with Arielle Kebbel (also known as Alexia "Lexi" Branson from The Vampire Diaries) costarring as Amelia and The Sopranos actor Michael Imperioli appearing as NYPD detective Rick Sellitto.

Starring The West Wing's Bradley Whitford and Pitch Perfect's Anna Camp, this comedy tells the story of a former Princeton music professor whose fortuitous discovery of a church choir group may just give him an opportunity for his next endeavor. Whitford also serves as an executive producer, and other cast members include Drunk History's Tymberlee Hill and The Dictator's Rizwan Manji.

House actor Kal Penn and comedy writer Matt Murray co-created this comedy series, which revolves around a disgraced former NYC councilman named Garrett Modi who decides to use his skills to help immigrants in search of the American Dream find their way. Penn also stars in the series as Garrett, with The Good Place creator Mike Schur serving as an executive producer.

Long-running SNL cast member Kenan Thompson stars in this family sitcom as the titular Kenan, a newly widowed dad struggling to raise his two daughters on his own (while also grudgingly accepting the assistance of his persistent father-in-law, who's played by veteran actor Andy Garcia). The show is written by Superstore writer Jackie Clarke, with Thompson, Chris Rock, and SNL creator Lorne Michaels serving as executive producers.

Suburgatory star Jane Levy leads this musical dramedy as the titular Zoey, an awkward, type-A coder who develops the ability to hear other people's innermost thoughts through song (and sometimes even elaborate musical numbers in which she stars). Zoey is then able to use her incredible new ability to better understand the people in her life whom she wasn't quite able to connect with before receiving her "gift."
