Were not feeling upbeat about its chances for a second season, no matter how hot Patrick Wilson is.

The show remains inconsistent so only time will tell.

Too soon to say whether Tim Allen will be back come Sept., but we wouldnt bet against it.

The sudsy drama has hits its stride.
Most of us at EW are already looking forward to a second season.
And boy, do those ratings blow.
Dont expectPan Amto make a return trip.
ButLosties may tire of anyone trying to re-create the magic of the island.

Smash: Debuts Feb. 6.Status: Its nothing likeGlee(except, you know, it has singing).
This drama about the making of a Broadway musical shows real promise.
NBC proved it can still launch a midseason reality show to big numbers last year withThe Voice.
So were thinking it can do the same for a drama.
(Hey, its fits nice withThe Vampire Diaries).
Hart of Dixie(The CW): 0.9, 2.0 million.
