10 New TV Shows Of Fall 2017 Guaranteed To Succeed

10. Good Girls

An NBC single camera crime comedy about a trio of suburban women who decide to hold up a supermarket? Sure, let's do it. One that also happens to star Retta (Parks and Recreation) and Mae Whitman (Parenthood)? Must watch television. There are a lot of reasons that this show should succeed, but they're all sort of loosely related to feminism. It isn't often that you get to see comedies that focus on women, or crime shows that focus on women, or tv shows in general that are created by women, and Good Girls happens to be all three.

Retta and Mae Whitman have both been proven to have serious comedic abilities, so there's no reason why this shouldn't be pretty hilarious. As it stands, it looks like Good Girls should help provide a good counterbalance to some of the more melodramatic elements of NBC's lineup, including perennial tearjerker This is Us. Another good sign for this show is that it got picked up by NBC, a network with a history of allowing comedies the time they need to find their audience, as seen with shows like Parks and Recreation and Trial & Error.
