Fall Pilot Review: CBS Comedy

Sitcom descriptions never sound that appealing to me, especially when I think of what CBS will do to butcher them. However,  I think George Stults and Matthew Perry deserve to be on TV shows that don't get cancelled.
CUZ-BROS: A successful, suave ladies man’s perfect life gets turned upside down when his mess of a cousin needs a place to stay. Cast: Geoff Stults (Nick); Debra Jo Rupp (Merle); Andrea Anders (Stacey).  
THE ODD COUPLE: A half-hour multi-camera comedy pilot based on Neil Simon’s The Odd Couple. Cast: Matthew Perry (Oscar Madison); Thomas Lennon (Felix); Wendell Pierce (Teddy).

UPDATED: Fall Pilot Review: CBS Drama

"BATTLE CREEK: When two detectives with very different world views are teamed up, they must answer the question: is cynicism, guile, and deception enough to clean up the semi-mean streets of Battle Creek, Michigan in the face of a complete lack of resources; or is the exact opposite true – it takes naïveté, trust and a boatload of resources? Cast: Josh Duhamel (Milton Chamberlain); Dean Winters (Det. Russ Agnew); Kal Penn (Det. Fontanelle)." 
That cast though. Is it hot in here?
"MADAM SECRETARY: About the personal and professional life of a maverick female Secretary of State as she drives international diplomacy, wrangles office politics, and balances a complex family life. Cast: Tea Leoni (Secretary of State Elizabeth McCord); Tim Daly (Henry McCord); Bebe Neuwirth (Nadine Tolliver)."
Buuuuuuut Tim Daly is on The Mindy Project. (?!?!)
"UNTITLED CUSACK/McCABE/ELMORE/CAVELL PROJECT: Series set in the world of Wall Street power and money. Charlie Cox (Jackson Holliday); Maggie Grace (Jamie Fields); David Morse (J.D. Conklin); John Cusack (guest star)."
OWEN! But why is this an "Untitled Cusack Project" if he's only a guest star. Predicted spoiler alert - he dies in the first couple episodes.

Just a note... of the nine dramas proposed, there are only two that aren't politics/crime/terrorism focused. See more at http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/04/21/complete-fall-2014-pilot-list/
