ABC still loves J.J. Abrams

J.J. Abrams (“Mission: Impossible 3,” “Lost”) may have defected from ABC Studios to Warner Bros. TV last year, but apparently the network still adores the wonder boy producer-director.
ABC just picked up another pilot from Abrams’ company, a one-hour dramedy called “Boundaries.”
This will be the fifth collaboration between the two A’s: Abrams also produced “Lost,” “Alias,” “What About Brian” and “Six Degrees” for ABC.
And to add further to the show’s pedigree: It was created by former “Six Feet Under” writer Jill Soloway.
But here’s the worrisome news: the show’s premise. “Boundaries” is reportedly about a psychologist with a failing cable-access show, who takes a job as a notary to get her groove back.
Eek.
No offense to JJA, but I can’t help but think this sounds like “Men In Trees” meets “Boston Legal”—two shows I loathe.
But no matter.
If “Boundaries” bombs, J.J. ’s always got that “Star Trek” movie to fall back on…

JJ got the good stuff out of his system early and now he can’t repeat that success to save his life. Did you see Six Degrees? It was crap. Did you see What About Brian? It was crap. Boundaries already sounds like crap.
I’ll bet he could spruce up Bionic Woman, though.
