New TV Season Review/Preview - What Have You Seen, What Do You Want to See

Posted: 9/6/06 at 12:00am

The Ron Livingston show sucked ass. The one after House? About the hostage negotiators? How soon will those storylines die out and get tired? Oh, that's right....alreayd happened.


Studio 60 - Of course. Even though Amanda Peet's unibrow scares the bejeebus out of me.

Six Degrees - Looks cute.

Brothers & Sisters - Ally Mcbeal's comeback. Could be good, could totally suck.

Definitely Studio 60. This Wingnut is hoping that lightning will strike twice.

The female lead on Standoff is a bore. She and Ron Livingston have absolutely no chemistry together. Isn't that his real life girlfriend?

Justice is worth the watch. It's on tonight at 8 on Fox. Victor Garber is fun as a smarmy lawyer. Very stylish show.

New Shows:
Vanished - I'm hooked.

Justice - when it first began, the dialogue seemed a little choppy, but I liked the concept so I gave the rest of the episode a chance. Turned out OK for me and I totally got into it. I will definitely watch it again.

Heroes also looks interesting.

Returning Shows:
House
Lost
Nip/Tuck

Studio 60
The Class
Justice
Heroes
The Nine
Jericho
Kidnapped
Traveler

And I really enjoy Three Moons Over Milford and Eureka, cheesey as they are.


*4400 SPOILER*

As soon as The 4400 started taking the whole Jesus Resurrected route, it started losing me. It's just so juvenile. They couldn't think of anything more original, or even subtle? Jordan Collier (J.C. - get it? get it?) comes back and even has the Jesus hair and beard. Mysterious sightings of Jordan...cult following...disbelieving government...fallen angel who changes from good to evil...Come on!

Glad to know I'm not the only one with a fall viewing schedule already set up.

Vanished and Kidnapped have very similar concepts, but I much prefer Kidnapped. Just comparing the two pilots, it has more potential for good writing and definitely better acting- Jeremy Sisto versus Gale Harold is no contest. And, well, Vanished is on Fox. 'Nuff said.

I recorded FASHION HOUSE (or whatever it's called), but haven't watched it, yet. Otherwise, I only care about the return of SMALLVILLE and COLD CASE. I won't be checking out any other shows. I don't like television very much.

There are actually a number of new shows this season I think may really have some potential (all of which have been named), which is really pretty exciting since most seasons there is maybe one or two shows that look even vaguely interesting.

The trend this year seems to be towards serial television, the soap opera type continuing storyline (ala Grey's Anatomy). Unfortunately that can make for a big TV viewing time commitment. I'm gonna have to pick and choose a bit, because I just don't have enough time to get really involved in a ton of different series.

I don't know who that is, either. I watched FASHION HOUSE. Horrible, is a compliment. I'll not be watching again.

New Shows I will be watching:
Six Degrees
Studio 60

Very excited about both of those.

I will also be watching Grey's Anatomy and Gilmore Girls religiously.

I've already seen one highly illegal Internt copy of a pilot yet to come. It's on a few of your lists, too. :) I'm looking forward to that show.

Anyway, other than that, my TV viewing remains the same: House, Veronica Mars, and Scrubs. Why they all have to be in the same timeslot is a bit beyond me, but at least it makes Scrubs' relegation to midseason replacement a bit less galling.

Yes, the gal on STANDOFF is Livingston's girlfreind - at least, from thei red carpet interview at the Emmys, they indicated that they live together.

She had a small role in CINDERELLA MAN, which isn't surprising, considering she's Gentleman James Braddock's granddaughter.

She also has the worst nose on television.
