Fall TV: Rev Up for New Shows5 of 10
6. "Lethal Weapon" (FOX)
If last season's "Rush Hour" serves as any guide, there's no guarantee of success for networks when deciding to bring a beloved cop buddy comedy from the big screen to the small screen. But FOX is not only willing to translate the popular Lethal Weapon franchise for primetime viewers; it's also remaking another well-known movie franchise with "The Exorcist." With "Lethal Weapon," FOX is hoping that a couple of veteran actors and familiar faces will help this film adaptation find better success than its immediate forebears. Clayne Crawford ("Rectify") and Damon Wayans ("The Underground") headline the series as the unlikely pairing of unhinged cop and veteran detective. Among those on hand to balance out this duo is Jordana Brewster, who plays the LAPD's psychologist.
