Summer 2011 TCA Press Tour Highlights and Lowlights

Where did 'Playboy Club,' 'American Horror Story' and Zooey end up?

Lowlight: Discombobulated 'X Factor' panel fails to convince

Simon Cowell was available only via spotty satellite.
 
Nicole Scherzinger seemed nearly catatonic. 
 
Paula Abdul started off cogent and became Paula Abdul.
 
And Steve Jones failed to instantly win over the room of critics.
 
If FOX was trying to shift "The X Factor" to underdog status, that mission may have been accomplished, but very little excitement came out of the panel for one of the network's huge fall gambles.
