seichanDidn't watch any tv shows over the summer. I decided to try a few this fall...
Heroes on NBC is X-men without the brand fee and corny nicknames...yet. A bunch of people find they have powers. Throw in a politician, upcoming disaster, an evil scientist-y father and I'm sure romance and hm...where's the originality? The cast includes a superman-ish (hey, red hoodie) nurse man, his politician brother (both of whom may have the flying powers), a painter who can paint the future while high on drugs, an indestructible cheerleader (yes, very scary) whose dad is the evil dude, a japanese salaryman who can bend time, a stripper who has an evil twin and a genetics professor-turned cab driver who is researching these people and maybe seeking revenge for his dead father. In the next episode, they get brought together by a comicbook! Yes, the gimmicks! Anyway, it was mildly amusing to the level of Smallville. NBC hyped this show by cutting some commercials and making the first episode available online at their website.
Jericho on CBS is about a small American town whose residents' lives are changed when some bombs go off isolating them from the world. Are they alone..oh no? The first episode was predictable all the way through. Skeet Ulrich (who I liked in Miracles which was cancelled pretty quickly) plays the loser-son of the mayor. There's his ex-girlfriend, his goody-two-shoes brother, a teacher, a broken down prison bus and some other townspeople that make up the cast. The only thing that would save this show is if there are aliens involved. I'm not too interested in the terrorist and/or accident and/or government conspiracy angle..nor am I interested in seeing people helping each other survive...haha.
House MD on FOX comes back with the same great dialogue and interesting stories. ♥ My only hope is that the Australian actor gets a new haircut.
What else...Katie Couric's evening news tries to be too hip and it comes off flippant. I miss watching sitcoms, but I can't say any of the new ones interest me.
