TV review: 'Crusoe' shows NBC's incompetence


Rip ’em, Mr. Goodman!

“Crusoe” is, thankfully, the last of its fall scripted series. That is, unless NBC has some other surprise bomb to drop. Here’s the dreadful tally of new NBC shows so far: “Knight Rider” (brutally bad), “Kath & Kim” (heinous), “My Own Worst Enemy” (yes, it is), “Crusoe” (insipid). By the way, three of those four are borrowed ideas: “Knight Rider” resuscitates the lame 1980s original, “Kath & Kim” ruins an excellent Australian series, and “Crusoe” does no justice to Daniel Defoe’s book. (More on that shortly.) And, really, “My Own Worst Enemy” is just a terribly muddied version of “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.”
