Sure, we can base our judgments on what "type" of show we usually like anyway or a producer that's involved or someone who is in the lead. But we're still just basing it on a description (or a snippet from each show). It really comes down to the writing and the execution in general. Having said all that, here are the shows that look great to me, based on the upfront description, the cast and crew involved, and how my tastes run in general.

The Mentalist watch!
http://sbnikita.blogspot.com/2008/05/mentalist-watch.html2. The Mentalist (CBS): Part of me is worried that this will be more CSI than Banacek, but the first sneak peak at the link above has me intrigued. Simon Baker (The Guardian, Smith) stars as a former TV psychic who admits that he isn't psychic but has really good powers of observation and deduction. He helps police solve crimes and butts heads with others. Baker's a good actor, and if this goes the Columbo route instead of being just another procedural show, it could be worth watching.
