New TV series Boom or Bust?
« on: September 30, 2010, 08:02:09 AM »
I DVR'd The Event and finally decided to watch it after I logged last night.  The previews looked good but UGH.  That's some of the worst acting, writing, and special effects, I've ever seen.

What shows have lived up to or exceeded your expectations and which ones make you wonder why you pay for cable or dish television?

dr. who has consistantly impressed me.

 i used to REALLY like farscape, and was pretty pissed when they took it off the air.

 way back when, i liked lafemme nikita. i thought it was another good show. recently, they've remade that series, calling it nikita. so far, it's not too bad, although the acting isn't living up to other series.

The real problem is anyone should feel like they can come to this forum and make a wish without being treated in a derogatory manner.  The only discussion should be centered around whether it would work, or how it would work and so on always in a respectful manner.

 :aok :aok :aok :aok

If you just read the premise you're like,  :huh :huh :huh

But then you actually watch it, and you're like  :x :x :x

It's like every nerd fantasy got tossed into a blender and pureed into one big geekgasmic smoothie.

I wouldn't call those posers Italian. Can they speak Italian? were they born there? then they definitely aren't Italian.

Good Acting?  Ummmmm, not so much...

But they do have Yvonne Strahovski, so I'm game to sit through it.

Southland is the best show I've seen in a while.  It ran on NBC for 6 episodes with good critical acclaim, but they cancelled it over the summer.  TNT has picked it up, and showed the second 6 episodes.  New season starts in January.  Unfortunately, you can't catch them online anymore, but we'll see if they post them again as the new season gets closer...

I think part of NBC's problem is that they HAVE aired quality, thought-provoking and unique programming, (Southland, Chuck, that one with the actor who played Winters in BoB that only lasted something like 5 episodes) but people just want to watch reality garbage like American Idol, Dancing with the Has-Beens, and Survivor; run of the mill procedurals; and repetitive sitcoms.

Raising Hope on FOX is great. Funniest stuff I've seen in a while.
