Mindy Project -- I hated the whole "OMG I'm a single woman at 31 so of course I'm desperate and neurotic" act. But I still got some good laughs out of it.
The New Normal -- LOVE so far.
Revolution -- Great concept, terrible execution. I'm sad.
I liked the Mindy Project! The wedding toast was criiiiiinge inducing and I like her receptionist friends. I'm not sure where the blonde chick with the daughter fits into this, but we'll see. And a big LOL to someone immediately falling in love with/finding Bill Hader attractive.
So far the only new show we've watched was Ben and Kate. It was good enough I'd keep watching. Ben reminds me of a cross between Andy from the Office and Will Farrell, depending on the scene.

I really like Go On. It reminds me of the first season of Community, when that show was really good. I also enjoyed the Mindy Project. I've DVR'd a bunch of other stuff, but haven't watched it yet.

I've only seen Mindy Project and Vegas. I liked both. I thought Mindy Project was hilarious. I didn't feel she was desperate at all. I found myself relating to her character a lot. Especially the whole date scene.
I watched Partners last night. I like both Michael Urie and David Krumholtz so I wanted to give it a chance. I didn't think it totally sucked but I don't see it lasting very long either.

Mindy was awesome. Perfect for me, not for everyone. Go on is lame New normal is lame Couples (some name like that with one tree hill girl) dumb I am planning to watch Elementary Mob .doctor is okay Maybe I will catch up on Revlution. It seems like the kind of show that will be cancelled. I realize this year I am not that open to new shows. I am sick of being cancelled.
I really liked Go On. I didn't think I would, but it's pretty funny. I kind of like the New Normal. I will probably keep watching.
I haven't watched The Mindy Project yet, but I hope to love it. I can't wait for Elementary either, liveintheville!
And not new, but I agree with the pp that I am ready for the next season of Revenge.
ETA: I thought Revolution was terrible in the pilot episode. Until the end, and then I was all WTF now I have to watch to see what happens and shook my fist at the tv.
So far I moderately like Go On, and I will watch a few more episodes of the Mindy Project before deciding. I like some things about Revolution, but I think Charlie kind of sucks. At least her uncle agrees with me.
I've only seen one of the two episodes of The Mob Doctor, but I think it has potential. I also liked the pilot of The New Normal, but my H was less impressed. We haven't watched Revolution or The Mindy Project yet.

H and I said the same thing about Ben.
I thought Ben and Kate was okay. Ben bugged me. I laughed a couple times, but I was annoyed at certain parts too.
I think The New Normal is hilarious. It might be too out there though.
I just cannot get behind Elementary after loving BBC's Sherlock. The writing for that show is brilliant and I'm not sure how any other adaptations will fare.

I liked Mindy more than I thought I would. I was trying to figure out why I hate Girls so much but I didn't mind this. Both are about spazzy single girl train wrecks. I don't know if I'll watch regularly, though; a little of her goes a long way with me.
We are enjoying The New Normal and Go On, but they're not phenomenal or anything. Ben and Kate was cute, but I'm not sure how they'll make the "responsible one vs. wacky one" premise feel original.
We will probably watch at least a few minutes of The Neighbors tonight because it's on between The Middle and Modern Family. But the premise is so dumb that I'm not expecting much.
I was going to give Partners a try despite it not looking great because I loved Marc from Ugly Betty, but I forgot to DVR it. So I'll catch it at some point.

That is why we are excited.
Sorry, I don't follow. You are excited to see how it compares to the BBC version? (because you either liked it or didn't like it?)
