Ride-Along: coming to Sky1
Sky1 is adding four new US shows to its lineup this autumn, to help fill scheduling gaps created by the loss of 24 and Lost. The broadcaster has acquired family comedy The Middle (rather belatedly, as season 2 starts in the US soon); the comedy Raising Hope, about a man who had a child with a fugitive; the Chicago-set cop drama Ride-Along from Shawn Ryan (The Shield); and Lone Star, a family drama about a con man living two different lives.

Will you be tuning into any of these? I've heard good things about Ride-Along and Lone Star, but I'm not sure either are the kind of shows I'll find myself investing in.
