What Ever Happened To Fall TV Shows Being Good?
May 27th
Alright, maybe this is a result of me getting old….(which is a completely different complaint)
But do you remember when networks would release their Fall lineups after finale season and you were generally excited to see all of the new shows? Well this year’s look terrible (and that’s me being nice). ABC, NBC, CW and CBS seemed to have flushed all of their good ideas straight into the can and come up with an armful of garbage content that we can only hope will grow on us. Seriously, this gripe is justified if you watch some of the promo clips below:

JJ’s Undercovers
Jan 14th
Ever wonder what Mr. & Mrs. Smith would have been like if JJ Abrams was at the helm? Then, instead of a feature film, if it was a TV series? Then what this TV series would be like on a network like NBC? Wow, that’s pretty specific I guess, but in any case, you’ll get your answer soon as JJ and Co have just cast their leading lady for their pilot Undercovers.
In case you haven’t heard much about the pilot (there hasn’t been a ton of press lately) Undercovers is being described as Mr & Mrs Smith meets Bourne Identity. Apparently it More >
Heroes… The New ER
Sep 25th
Sometimes there’s a show that is just so amazing in its first season that the only direction it can go is down. Currently the best example for his is Heroes. I like to call this the, “ER Syndrome,” or a show that overstays its welcome in prime time. ER was amazing in the early to mid 90′s. The cast was great with Clooney and Julianna Margulies, a young Noah Wyle and the resurrection of Goose‘s career. It had an amazing amount of drama, took great chances in terms of story telling and the characters were so well established that as audiences we all More >
NBC’s Yo Teach!!!
Aug 12th
If you haven’t seen Funny People yet, then you really should. If not only to see Adam Sandler in probably his best role, but to actually understand the brilliance of the following videos. The scary part is that if NBC actually produced and aired Yo Teach, I would probably already be TiVo’ing it and waiting for the DVD to drop so I could watch all of the special features. Check out some of the clips below.
Pure Awesome.
Heroes Gets T-Bagged!
Jul 30th
As a loyal fan of Heroes I’ve had to endure some terrible episodes, bad writing and tragic excuses for acting over the years, but for some reason I keep coming back. I sometimes feel like that guy who just can’t get enough of rehab. Anyways, NBC dropped this promo a few days ago to reel in sad folks like myself. When Heroes shut down for the season earlier this year, a lot of people (myself included), really felt that the run they had in season 1 had finally run out of steam. They can no longer live off of the phenomenon and More >
