This show is very quotable and the situations are relatable to viewers.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n At ABC, viewers have expressed interest in Last Resort<\/em> for its “strong cast and crew,” Networked Insights noted, and in the Lionsgate-distributed Nashville<\/em>, set against the backdrop of the country music scene.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The CBS shows that are expected to fare well include the Sherlock Holmes-inspired Elementary<\/em> and the period piece Vegas<\/em>, where the “star-studded cast, particularly Michael Chiklis, is the draw.”<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The Carrie Diaries <\/span><\/span><\/em>is generating buzz for The CW; the series is a Sex and the City<\/em> prequel, focusing on a teenage Carrie Bradshaw in the ‘80s.
