Nuggets - not a wealth - of good shows

Don't forget Jericho, peanut lovers. And then there's The Apprentice, celebrity version, which could be a train wreck or a barrel of laughs. I'm betting on derailment. NBC also has its eye on some paranormal folderol starring that old spoon-bender, Uri Geller.

But the networks are touting two new takes on Sex and the City that may be promising if you like that sort of thing. ABC's Cashmere Mafia, premiering in November, stars Lucy Liu and others and is produced by S & C producer Darren Star. NBC's Lipstick Jungle stars Brooke Shields and others and comes from S & C writer Candace Bushnell.

Story continues below.

Better bets are on Fox: Canterbury's Law, in which Julianna Margulies is outstanding as a no-holds-barred defense attorney; The Sarah Connor Chronicles, an update on the Terminator movies; and a sitcom, The Return of Jezebel James.

The pilot of Jezebel was a tad raucous, but the show stars two wonderful actors, Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose, and it comes from Gilmore Girls guru Amy Sherman-Palladino.
