I'm really looking forward to trying out a bunch of new shows this year. I thought I'd share with you! I'll start with an obvious one if you know me . . . or read the old blog part.
I would give this a try even without knowing anything about it other than that it has Jorge Garcia and J.J. Abrams in it. But, I do know more and it sounds cool. 50 years ago all the prisoners in Alcatraz disappear . . . now they are coming back . . . but why? Watch the Trailer.
This is a cop drama . . . mixed with Grimms fairy tales. I love fairy tales! Particularly the original dark Grimm ones. They say it is going to be dark. I'm excited. I don't really know any of the actors involved, but I'm all for high concept shows. Apparently it will show of Friday at 10 - which is a icky spot . . .
This one has a lot of hype lately, that makes me nervous. But, it also has Jason O'Mara in it . . . yay! It will supposedly be on Mondays at 8, which is a much more acceptable time. It is the story of the future where we killed the earth and so we . . . time travel back to prehistoric earth . . . that bit bothers me a bit . . . I'm actually more cool with alien planets . . . but I'm willing to try.

Another sci-fi cop show. With Jason Issacs. So, there is this fatal car accident . . . that results in split reality for or lead (either his wife or teenage son has died). I think it has similarities to Life on Mars . . . which got very sadly canceled. I hope they have better luck.
So, Darling Ben from LOST is a computer genius who invents a computer program that predicts future crimes . . . he picks up a partner and tries to stop the crimes.
Another fairy tale show! This one is a bit more . . . in your face fairy tale. The fairy tales are an alternative world and the characters are stuck over here having forgotten who they are . . . I don't have as much hope for this one . . . even if my beloved Robert Carlyle is in it.
A new comedy about a girl who is terrible with men and ends up living in a house full of men . . . who try to help her. Not my normal type of show, but I do love Zooey Deschanel. She is just too cute. I hope it is actually funny. The preview did make me laugh.
As you can see, I have a bit of a show type. It is really just that I'll fit in this stuff. I already have a medical show and a crime show etc. I'm pretty excited.
Cool...looks like interesting things, not the same old, rehashed reality tv. (Lurker from maangchi's site.)
ReplyDeleteThe only reality tv I watch is so you think you can dance and it is competition so I think it only kind of counts. Also, this two comments I think you qualify as a non-lurker
