Question: I watched the premiere of
Pepper Dennis on the WB and have to admit (with guilt, I suppose), I enjoyed it. It stumbled around a bit, literally, but I think it has promise. With WB morphing into CW, is this show dead on arrival, or could we possibly see more?
Answer: Again, a little early after just one week. But the first night's results weren't particularly positive. I'm sure WB would have liked
Pepper to hold on to more of the
Gilmore Girls lead-in, but Tuesdays are very tough.
Pepper Dennis is at best a guilty pleasure, forgettable and harmless, cotton-candy eye candy. If it doesn't show any growth over the next month, I'd be surprised if it conveys to the CW. But if it picks up at all, it seems to me to be very commercial and promotable, and as such, a potentially fresh asset on a lineup that looks for now to be heavy on shows that are closer to the end of their run than the beginning.
