Television Review

Well, another fall TV season is upon us, and yet again, there is a plethora of new shows that will suck, break even, and possible rock.  Here's my take on some of them:

Sundays
Tell Me You Love Me (HBO - Sundays) - Dropped.  First episode took it to the limits, but I lost interest quite quickly.  I'm dropping HBO now that The Sopranos is over and there really isn't any other shows I'm interested in.

Dexter (Showtime) - Hell yeah!  First season rocked.  Books were great.  Gonna be a good season!!!  Premiers - 09/30/2007

Shows - 1

Mondays
Prison Break (Fox - Mondays) - I'm done with this show.  It'll probably still be a decent show, but it's gotten old for me.  What?  They're breaking out of Prison... again?  Sorry, one time was enough for me.  Season Premier - 09/17/2007

K-Ville (Fox - Mondays) - Pass.  Although I enjoy Anthony Anderson, I'm not really interested in another cop drama with the same ole stereotypes.  Season Premier - 09/17/2007

Chuck (NBC - Mondays) - Probably not.  Although it looks interesting, I'm not interested.  Premiers - 09/24/2007

Heroes (NBC - Mondays) - For sure.  In like flynn.  Hopefully no Sophmore slump.  Premiers - 09/24/2007

Shows - 1

Tuesdays
Cavemen (ABC - Tuesdays) - Hell No.  Premiers - 10/02/2007

The Unit (CBS - Tuesdays) - For Sure.  Premiers - 09/25/2007

Reaper (CW - Tuesdays) - Yes.  This will be my first CW show I've watched.  Kevin Smith directs.  Premiers - 09/25/2007

Shows - 2

Wednesdays
Pushing Daisies (ABC - Wednesdays) - Yes.  Saw some of the pilot that leaked.  Looks interesting.  We'll see.  Premiers - 09/26/2007

Bionic Woman (NBC - Wednesdays) - Meh.  I saw the pilot.  Wasn't impressed.  Premiers - 09/26/2007

Lost (ABC - Wednesdays) - Yes.  Should be another interesting season.  Premiers - 2008?

Life (NBC - Wednesdays) - Yes.  One of my favorite actors (Damien Lewis - Band of Brothers) Could be a good show.  Premiers - 09/26/2007

Shows - 3

Thursdays
Omg!  No shows that I'm interested in!

Scrubs (NBC) - Meh, I just don't watch anymore.  Used to be really good.

The Office (NBC) - Waiting for video.

Grey's Anatomy (NBC) - The wife gets this one.

CSI (CBS) - Meh.  Can only suspend disbelief for so long.

Shows - 0

Fridays
Friday Night Lights (NBC) - I'd like to watch this one, but just don't have time.

Shows - 0

Saturdays
Nothing.

Football.

Total Shows - 7

Hours - 7

Ick.  Too many hours.  May have to cut some shows, and most likely it'll be the new ones.

Thank God for TiVo!

Bionic Woman wasn't any good? That's too bad...I've got the pilot set to record - but my expectations aren't too high. I wish they'd bring back Dark Angel! As far as ass-kicking Sci-Fi women go, that was one of my favorites.

Add Journeyman to your Monday list. It's kind of a Quantum Leap re-envisioning with a more personal approach. It's coming on right after Heroes. I watched the pilot and it was very good.\r \r Kevin Smith only directed the pilot for Reaper. Show should be good anyway. I am glad they replaced the female lead from the pilot. She didn't match the show.\r \r I wasn't impressed by the Bionic Blahblah pilot either.

Life should be a good show.

Not interested in Journeyman. I see it as a remake of Quantum Leap.\r \r Sorry, I'm done with \"Reality\" shows for the most part.\r \r No more Survivor, Amazing Race, etc...

Prison Break was good, it looks to be a different spin on the break out since this prison has no guards... and the 5 guys in.. have to work together to get out..\r \r KVille pilot was ok.. it has potential tho.. Anthony Anderson wasnt the \"Black Cop\" as expected.. but has potential.. I hope it works.. interesting premise taking place in NO,LA 2 yrs after Katrina..

Oooh oooh oooh....what about that show where the parents kick their kids out of the house and send them to an abandoned town where they have to fend for themselves.

Lol... I never watched Smallville, and I hate picking up a show in the middle, so it'll have to wait for DVD.\r \r Kid Nation. Nope. No way.

What was wrong with Quantum Leap?! Jeez. It wan't that bad...usually...mostly...meh.\r \r I can drop both HBO & Showtime. The internet feeds for both are much better than my cable (and cheaper). Its too bad both don't hook up with Apple for iTunes.
