Oh Fall lineup
May. 20th, 2009 10:39 pmSo, I did some looking and there are a few things that I am willing to take a gander at, none of which, I think, will survive to a second season. La! That is the mO of things that I enjoy. Besides, most of them with maybe one exception look like they aren't especially good or I will get bored very quickly.
Glee -- Adorkable, but I can already see myself boring of this one.
V -- WTF?! I can't pass it up. I LOVED the mini-series from back in the day. Plus, Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk. I can kinda see it being interesting but getting canceled pretty quickly a la Invasion.
Happy Town -- This would be my one exception. It looks actually really good.
Flash Forward -- I predict that the "Lost"-ishness of the plot will drive me out of my tree and that I will give up.
Day One
Parenthood -- I will watch an ep or two purely for the pleasure of Dax Sheppard, but I don't see myself lasting. I LOVED Brothers and Sisters and still couldn't make the commitment.
Eastwick -- Despite the cheesy horror of it all.
Cougar Town -- Which might actually be my other exception.
Vampire Diaries -- Will undoubtedly keep my initial attention through the sublime prettiness of Ian Sommerhalder. Although that, too, is no guarantee. I gave up on Smallville season one because Tom Welling was so distractingly pretty that I couldn't follow the plot.
Of the things that survived the cuts, Medium (Which is moving from NBC to CBS. I do not watch CBS AND it's on a Friday.) and Castle (That is entertaining but predictable and is already beginning to lose the shiny brought on my love of Nathan Fillion). Then there is Dollhouse that is so convoluted that I just don't know. Plus ... still not loving the format. BUT, like Fox, I am willing to give Joss the benefit of the doubt. With the exception of Firefly it took a good season for him to find his legs with his other shows.
How. Sad. But maybe all of this non-tv watching time will be devoted to making my 50 book goal. There's the silver lining.
