SERIES PREMIERE: Last year, the CW gave us one of the best new shows of the season, somewhat unexpectedly, with Jane the Virgin. This year, the CW introduces only one new series for fall, but, once again, it’s hit the ball out of the park. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, premiering tonight, stars Rachel Bloom as a young, Ally McBeal-ish lawyer who impulsively moves to a Los Angeles suburb to be near a former teen crush whom she just encountered on the street in New York, and who mentioned he was moving to West Covina. It’s a very funny show, with executive producer Aline Brosh McKenna from The Devil Wears Prada and Bloom examining another take on what it’s like to be twentysomething and single – but a very different take, because occasionally, they do it with music. To hear a sample, and my review, visit the Fresh Air website. And for a full review, see Ed Bark's Uncle Barky's Bytes. But in any case, watch Crazy tonight. You’d be crazy not to.
