17 Hottest New TV Shows Debuting This Summer

By James Hunt /

10. Blunt Talk

The stars Patrick Stewart as British newscaster Walter Blunt, who heads to America to host his own talk show. With him is an alcoholic assistant, plus a lot of baggage from a number of failed marriages. It€™s produced by Seth MacFarlane and created by Jonathan Ames, and should serve as a sharp, witty satire on such sanctimonious talking-head type shows (looking at you, Bill O€™Reilly), while also providing moments of slapstick comedy as well. The trailer features Stewart snorting cocaine and being whipped with a towel, which should be enough to convince people it€™s worth checking out.
