CW Fall Preview Show highlights comedy gems

Fall PreviewSunday nights will be laced with biting comedy.  That’s my first impression after watching The CW Fall Preview Show, which airs twice this coming weekend.  Hosted by Privileged stars Joanna Garcia and Anne Archer, the half-hour special gives an overview of our seven new network series—including a first peek at the Sunday lineup, where laughter rules.  Two actresses simply jump off the screen in their roles: Jaime Murray on Valentine and Laurie Metcalf on Easy Money.  Noted for her characters on Hustle and Dexter, sultry British-born Jaime camps it up (incognito) as Greek goddess of love Aphrodite; while in “the world of payday loans,” Laurie thinks more like Tony Soprano than an offbeat mother running the family biz.  We also get a glimpse of original Beverly Hills mommie dearest “Jackie Taylor,” played by returning 90210 alum Ann Gillespie.  Look for a big showdown between her and daughter Kelly (Jennie Garth) concerning offspring issues early this fall.  The preview show follows a Jason Priestley movie (Calendar Girl) this Saturday, so we’re in full 90210 mode.  Check out the teasers, then get ready for the real thing Monday night when Season Premiere Week begins on WBNX.
