No. 6 Worst - ’Ringer’

"Ringer" (The CW)

Airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. [Premieres September 13.]

Sarah Michelle Gellar plays twins in this wannabe-twisty primetime soap opera. Neither twin is interesting enough to be worth Gellar’s effort, unfortunately, in a drama that spends its first 44 minutes bending over backwards to establish its premise — quite familiar if you’ve watched ABC Family’s "The Lying Game" — without every finding any fun or tension. Gellar just looks doubly uncomfortable and all of the decent actors around her — Nestor Carbonell, Ioan Gruffudd, Kris Polaha — seem wooden and disinterested. The pilot compensates for the snoozy cast with brazen musical cues, cheesy visual effects and a whole ton of belabored symbolism. This will, however, be the top show of the fall for subscribers to "Mirror Aficionado" magazine. What? There is no "Mirror Aficionado" magazine? The CW will just count on "Buffy" fans too starved for more SMG to be discriminate.

No. 3 Worst - ’Free Agents’

"Free Agents" (NBC)

Airs Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. [Premieres September 14 at 10:30 p.m.]

When bad comedy happens to good people. I like creator John Enbom and pilot director Todd Holland and stars Hank Azaria, Kathryn Hahn, Anthony Head, Natasha Leggero and Joe LoTruglio. Somehow, though, they joined their forces on an absolutely tone deaf hodge-podge of characters I hated, a workplace nobody cared about and punchlines that made the characters on-screen laugh and made me cringe. With any luck, this will prove to be an example of talented people botching a Xerox of the British original and subsequent episodes will play to the strengths of the cast, instead of accentuating their collective weaknesses. But with NBC only sending critics the pilot, I can’t judge based on idealized hypotheticals.
