TV Talk

Okay, I know I haven't seen everything I have wanted to yet, and that tonight is the office, but I think I can assess some new shows for everyone.

Bionic Woman - I almost turned it off, the acting and dialog's were that bad.  Special effects were only a little better.  Why on earth would someone be pissed off that their life and way of life had been saved?  "You almost died.  We had to amputate your arm and your legs.  Did you want to be in a motorized wheel chair?  Because, we can take back all the bionic stuff."  Why didn't Starbuck get the lead?  She is a way better actress. 

Journeyman - I liked this more than I thought I would.  It channels The Time Traveler's Wife a bit, but that isn't really a bad thing.  The jury is still out.  I don't really like formulaic shows though.  If it becomes a save a person a week type show, I think I will just watch Quantum Leap reruns. 

Prison Break - They are just going to put Scofield in multiple prisons and have him escape from them every season.  The show has always been ridiculous and this year doesn't look to change the formula.

Heroes -  New plots abound.  My question is still what happened to Sylar.

Chuck -I thought this show was going to suck, but it doesn't.  It rocks.  It is witty and charming.   You can't help but like Chuck and hate Captain Awesome.

Kid Nation -  The premise of this show was supposed to be about how kids would run the world if they were in charge.  Unfortunately this is restrained by the amount of rules imposed on them.  They have to be on teams, they have to compete in a challenge, and said challenge dictates a class structure.  The class structure has the upper class get paid the most for doing nothing.  They don't even allow a free market on the show.  Last night they did kill some chickens; that was pretty cool.

The Ultimate Fighter - Same show, different weight class.  I already hate several people on the show.  This show perpetuates the stereotype that all fighters are idiots. 

I have not seen Reaper yet.

TV Talk

Wow, summer is upon us.  That means time to catch up on stuff I DVR'd like House, Painkiller Jane,  Smallville, and the Tudors. 

To wrap up the tv season: Lost rocked, Heroes did too.  Supernatural started slow but knocked it out of the park.  Prison Break (huge in Korea now for some reason) was circling the shark tank on the motorcycle, but they have been doing that from the beginning.  Everything else that was good got cancelled.  Jericho was brought back thanks to some fan sending the studio nuts.  I hear they are trying this trick with Veronica Mars using Mars bars.

Summer seasons are now showing new programming. 

Here is what I will likely watch:

Last Comic Standing

Hell's Kitchen

Who Wants to Be a Superhero

Dr. Who

Drive (final two episodes)

I would watch 4400 but they need to have a marathon that I could see the entire 2nd and 3rd seasons in order to catch up.

I will also probably finish up The Prisoner Series that I have borrowed for quite too long.
