Week 1 Television

S
SoupNazzi

Ok, so week one is almost over, and most of my shows have been recorded and / or watched.  Here's my thoughts on the shows I've watched so far:

1.  Kid Nation - ARGHHH!  Yeah, I watched the 1st episode replayed on Saturday.  Yes, it was very interesting, and I would recommend it.  No, I will not continue to watch it.  No reality shows.  None.

2.  Dancing with the Stars - I'm a big pussy?  Yeah, when it comes to a show that's on in the evening that I can watch with my daughter (and isn't Disney or Nickolodean), I'll watch it.  Besides, the female dancers are frigging HAWT.

After the first week's episodes, I'll make a prediction.  Sabrina is going to win.  Here's why:  1.  She knows how to dance.  She was near perfect on her first dance of the season.  High energy, great footwork, and just fantastic to watch.  2.  She has a Disney fan-base.  It'll help with the fan vote.  3.  It's time for a woman to win.  The men have won the last 3-4 seasons in a row.

Her main competition will be Helio Castroneves, Floyd Mayweather, and Albert Reed.  I honestly don't see any of the other women competing, nor any of the other men.

Oh, and Mark Cuban will be the next one voted off.  I like Mark, but he can be such a tool sometimes.  And his "Maverick" act won't go far on the show.  I mean, all the men, except him were wearing black for their first dance.  His brown suit with patches looked horrible.

3.  The Unit - Excellent first episode picking up where last season's season finale ended.  Hopefully will be another solid year for this series.

4.  Reaper - I haven't watched the entire episode yet, but what I've seen so far had me laughing.  A lot.

5.  Life - I loved the first episode.  This isn't your typical Cop serial that you are used to.  The main character is back on the police force after serving 12 years of a life sentence for a crime he didn't commit (he was exonerated).  $50 million rich from a lawsuit settlement, and now a detective, Charlie Crews is a very changed man.  In fact, he is probably somewhat crazy.  His new foundation is based on Zen, yet, some of his actions are very un-Zen like.  This show has potential.  I just hope it doesn't get cancelled before it realizes its potential.

That's all I've had time to watch with Halo 3 being released.  Here's what I have yet to watch:
1.  Heroes
2.  Pushing Daisies
3.  Dexter - Premiers this Sunday
4.  Lost - Yet to Premier
5. Jericho - Premiers in January

The wife also has:

Private Practice and Grey's Anatomy recorded.  Oh joy.

You should watch Kid Nation - 2nd episode they kill a chicken and you get to watch cause they show it.

I'm off tv now. The only show I watched was Lost and House. But I doubt if I even watch that. I just download Smallville onto my pc every week and watch that show when I can. You can't argue with the hot women they have on that show. Clark must have had a super hard-on all his young adult life.

I'm with you on Life, the first episode intrigued me. Great character, hopefully the show makes it, too many reality shows on for my liking.

Dude, you need to add Bionic Woman to your record list. The premier was pretty good. Created and starring some of the Battle-Star Galactica people. Also finish watching Reaper it was really good. Both funny and dramatic and some action. It has a real Buffy The Vamp Slayer feel to it. - BAT
