Baby Daddy brings fresh new comedy to our screens

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 13: These days, almost every month has its new shows, and the networks just keep churning out more material.

Here are some fresh, rather unserious picks for those of you who use your TV time to forget everything!

World’s Worst Tenants — premiered Tuesday June 12, at 11pm on Spike TV:

You might think you’ve seen everything there is to see by way of appalling tenants, what with some of the reality TV shows out there today.

But you will be shocked by the discoveries and adventures of Los Angeles-based Todd Howard and his team of eviction specialists, where the going can get tough on both sides of the equation — evictor and evictee.

Howard’s wife, who is also his business partner, stands by him when things get out of hand in the residential, commercial or retail locations they manage. One blogger who is looking forward to the new series said: “It’s like World’s Wildest Police Videos meets Dog The Bounty Hunter – two series that I’ve wasted many hours watching.”

Dallas — two-hour premiere, Wednesday, June 13, at 10pm on TNT:

Can you believe it? The one and only Dallas returns to the small screen, bringing back all the drama, scheming, secrets and betrayals of the original.

Tune in as JR, Bobby and Sue Ellen Ewing come back to the ranch, this time joined by the next generation of Ewings, complicating everything and taking wickedness to an entirely new level. 

The vicious rivalry between JR (played by Larry Hagman), and Bobby (Patrick Duffy) lives on in this younger set of Ewings, all masters of ambition and deception.

Watch as the struggles for power, love and control of the family fortune unfold in this new version of a legendary series.

Baby Daddy — series premiere, June 20, at 9.30pm, on ABC Family:

“Three guys, one baby,” say the trailers.

This new series stars Chelsea Kane, who gained fame as a finalist on Dancing with the Stars and played Stella in Disney Channel’s very popular Jonas.

She’s cast as Penny in this fresh, half-hour comedy series, which also stars Jean-Luc Bilodeau, a young man who, in his 20s, becomes a dad completely by surprise, when a baby girl is left on his front steps one day by a former girlfriend. Unperturbed, Ben decides to raise the baby, enlisting the help of his mom, his brother, and a couple of good friends, including Penny (Kane), who has a secret crush on him.

The show is executive produced by Dan Berendsen (The Nine Lives of Chloe King, Sabrina, the Teenage Witch and Hannah Montana: The Movie).

The Soul Man — premieres Wednesday June 20, at 11pm on TV LAND:

From the creators of Hot in Cleveland, The Soul Man stars the indomitable Cedric the Entertainer, who plays Reverend Boyce ‘The Voice’ Ballentine, an R&B superstar-turned-preacher.

The character was originated on an episode of Hot in Cleveland in which Cedric made a guest appearance.

While living the life of a celebrity in Las Vegas, one day Boyce suddenly feels called to change his ways and sets out to save souls, taking over as preacher at his father’s church.

The show also stars Niecy Nash “Reno 911” as the reverend’s wife, Lolli, while John Beasley “Everwood” plays his father, and Wesley Jonathan (What I Like About You) his younger brother.

Anger Management – premieres Thursday, June 28, at 10pm on FX:

The controversial and loud-mouthed Charlie Sheen makes his return to television, provided he can show up for it, in this new TV series on FX. 

After his disastrous burnout on Two and a Half Men, the question is, will the public be ready to forgive his past sins?

“Come on. Everyone deserves a 24th chance,” he entreats fans in the show’s new promo.

“What’s the worst that can happen?” Well, he could continue his egotistical and misogynistic behaviour, or maybe we can just laugh, and be glad we’re not like him, money notwithstanding.

I should also add that Suits is back on USA Network.

I know that will make some of you very happy. http://www.usanetwork.com/series/suits/
