CBS Trailers (and $#*! My Dad Says): Yay or Nay?
Defenders
Slick hair, slick suits, slick Vegas shots, slick courtroom scenes in which slick defense attorneys (Jerry O'Connell and Jim Belushi) attempt to defend criminals. If you liked According to Jim and you're willing to sit through each hourlong episode for one shot of a shirtless O'Connell, then this might be worth Tivoing.
Verdict: Nay.

That Hawaii 5-0 clip reached the point where I was surprised when segments didn't end with a character getting punched in the face.
We'll see. Les Moonves better hope this thing doesn't start sinking. That said, series that get shopped to another network rarely survive. Five-0 and "...my dad says" probably have the best shot.
Ugh. I wish Five-O was better, but like most reboots they try too hard to make it hip. The original was about straight arrow guys protecting a crime-ridden paradise, but of course these days it's the cops who have to be too cool for school and look like they just walked off a GQ shoot. Plus, I bet the new theme will suck ("yeah, let's make it a cool rockin' version!" Uhh, how about not. Remember how U2 ruined the Mission Impossible theme?)
Yeah, but remember how Limp Bizkit came a few years later and made everything right again?
