Midseason mania

We're still working our way through previews of the midseason shows (the shows the networks put up in January/February to replace the fall shows that failed miserably), but the early frontrunner is NBC's "The Book of Daniel." The plot is "7th Heaven" crossed with "Joan of Arcadia," but it's got a much more "Desperate Housewives"/"Six Feet Under" sensibility. Proving once again that any new TV show can be described entirely in terms of previous TV shows. More to come.
