It's Showtime!

Joan of Arcadia no longer rules Friday nights. Sorry, God, but you've been ousted by an acerbic young woman who communicates with inanimate objects and a quirky cop with an extraordinary ability of deduction and to shamelessly make a fool out of himself in public.
Wonderfalls features the attractive Caroline Dhavernas (Out Cold) as Jaye Tyler, a "pathological narcissist" who has developed a preternatural ability to communicate with inanimate objects - everything from a deformed wax lion to a bronze monkey statuette. Naturally only Jaye can hear and see these anthropomorphized items talk, so it stands to reason that she might in fact be losing her mind. But it's the uncanny advice and instructions given by these objects (much like "God" on Joan of Arcadia) for Jaye to follow accordingly that lends a bit of credibility and invites us into her world.
Wonderfalls is definitely geared for adults, as the language and context is a bit on the risqué side. The humor, however, is scathingly witty; and a full cast of equally funny and dysfunctional characters makes this new show a winner in my book. Look for it on Fox, Friday's at 9/8 central.
Touching Evil is USA Network's new show starring Jeffrey Donovan as David Creegan.
After a near-fatal gunshot wound to the head and year-long pyschological care, Creegan returns to the new OSC (Organized and Serial Crime) Unit, a rapid-response, elite crime investigation squad. Unfortunately the accident left him virtually shameless, easily agitated, and stubborn. On the plus side, he has a heightened ability of deduction.
Touching Evil is a bit of a misnomer given the circumstances, as this is a deliciously funny and intense ride into a mind of an anomalous headcase. Look for it on the USA network, Friday nights at 10/9 central.
