As midseason begins, TV networks are promoting their new series. CBS has dropped the first look at "The Odd Couple" remake, while The CW has unleashed the sneak peek for "iZombie" based on DC comic book series.
"Odd Couple" stars Matthew Perry as sports writer, ladies' man and famous curmudgeon Oscar Madison, who enjoys his bachelor lifestyle in New York City. One day, his college friend Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon) shows up at Oscar's apartment having just been dumped by his wife. Felix is extremely neurotic and fussy in contrast to the slovenly and easy-going Oscar.
"iZombie", meanwhile, is a drama thriller centering on Rose McIver's Olivia "Liv" Moore, a rosy-cheeked, disciplined, over-achieving medical resident who was suddenly turned into a zombie. She now works at a coroner's office so she can eat brains so she can survive, which gave her a useful ability to get the memories from said brains to help solve homicide mysteries, while hiding the truth from the man she loves.
"The Odd Couple" debuts Monday, February 19 at 8.30 P.M. on CBS, and "iZombie" premieres Tuesday, March 17 at 9 P.M. on The CW.
