Because of both my schedule and space limitations in the paper, I've had to do some triage on the fall shows, and not every new series is going to get a full review. Today, for instance, I was much more interested in reviewing the "House" season premiere than I was in devoting a whole column to "Accidentally on Purpose" (tonight at 8:30 on CBS), which is one of the season's most grating rookies. There was a time in the early days of "Dharma & Greg" when Jenna Elfman (who plays a newspaper movie critic who gets pregnant after a one-night stand with the young guy on the left, played by Jon Foster) seemed like a loose, natural comedienne, but she's trying way too hard to sell the jokes here - possibly because she knows no one's going to buy them without a whole lot of help. Avoid if you can.
