litheraSo. Two weeks in and where are we at?
Mondays:
Heroes - Starting off better than last year for me but still, there are a few problems I'm having with it. There seems to be a lot of ... people doing silly and amusing things for plot contrived reasons. I'm hoping that there are deeper reasons for them later but so far, I'm pleased with the show.
Journeyman - A lot like Quantum Leap but serious and dark. I like this show but I can easily see where a lot of people would not. It has the dangerous potential to fall too deeply into the 'my life is a wreck and I'm trying to save it' melodrama week after week.
I'm thinking about adding Chuck because I've heard decent things about it.
Tuesdays:
House - Still House. I like the new people so far.
Boston Legal - Still Boston Legal. Not much different here.
Wednesdays:
Kid Nation - I like this. I really like this. I like seeing kids get responsibility and make good decisions with it (for the most part). Still, I'm thinking of replacing with Pushing Daisies for a week or two.
Bionic Woman - If I keep watching this show (and right now that is a whole lot of if) it will be for the beautiful job Katee Sackhoff is doing. She plays crazy so nicely. Such pretty crazy. I can't even remember anyone else's damned name in this show, if that gives you any idea how little I have invested in the rest of the cast.
Thursdays:
Smallville - Ugh. Drama land. Please call me when we get back to doing some actual interesting hero stuff, okay?
Grey's Anatomy - I don't buy George and Izzy. I don't buy them at all. I'm about done with this too, sadly, because I love Sandra Oh. Even still. And I actually like Meredith's little sister.
Fridays:
Moonlight - Oh. My. God. This show is so bad, I don't even know where to start. It really feels like someone has some specific stories they want to tell but they don't want to take any time to get to them. In the first two episodes you've had the girl learn that the guy is a) a vampire, b) saved her when she was a kid. The vampire mixes his noir and vampire metaphors liberally to awful effect. I also wonder if they have any sort of a shooting budget at all because every time they drive any where, it is obvious they're on a soundstage.
So. Has anyone found anything /good/ out there? At all?
