Fall TV Thursday
The fall television schedule has got some winners. And some real losers. Sort out the ones to see - and the ones to flee.

Big Shots 10 p.m., ABC, debuts Thursday (9/27). Showbiz shorthand: Sex and the City for those who see Donald Trump as a misunderstood, magnetic soul. My take: When ex-Practice star Dylan McDermott plays sexy, troubled and powerful, he comes across as a self-centered, pouty jerk. So McDermott, Alias alum Michael Vartan and comic Christopher Titus - with nerdy Joshua Malina - miss as a quartet of successful, wealthy buddies bonding over personal problems. Given how good these characters have it, shlubs in the audience will have zero sympathy. TiVo or Ti-No? Considering that a major plot point revolves around McDermott squashing news that he slept with a woman who was a man, I'd say Ti-No, with a serious shudder.
