so i finally looked up the fall preview guide here

The following is based on my desire to see the pilot (anything not listed is in the no way in hell pile)

yes pile - grimm, person of interest, prime suspect, ringer, terra nova

maybe pile - alcatrez, awake, unforgettable,


yeah slim pickings, a bunch of cop shows and one SF. I expect nothing of ringer other than to turn it off mid-hour. Probably the same for most of these

You're more optimistic than me. The stuff on tv has been so bad lately, I don't even bother to look at new series unless someone I trust recommends them to me, unless there happens to be an actor or actress in it one of the new ones that I really like, in which case I'll give it an episode or two to see if it's decent. I have to say, the commercials I have seen for the new offerings this season have looked exceptionally bad.

most of what I watched is off the air now so I went looking. I'm only bothering with Ringer because of Sarah Michelle Gellar and Person of Interest has Jim cavaziel so that should be well acted

Ringer was actually much better than I expected. Very plotty and charactery which is a nice change.

I saw a brief preview of Grimm and what I saw intrigued me so I'll probably catch that as well.

I think Grimm is a Friday show because I remember it being the one night when there wasn't anything on that I usually watch.

I'm really on the fence about Terra Nova. On one hand, SF, on the other, I think the premise sounds kinda dumb.

And I didn't pay attention to when Ringer was starting so I missed all but the last 15 minutes. I'll have to catch a rerun to see if I'm watching.

yeah apparently I missed Ringer too

I hear you about Terra Nova I mean why go back to the dinosaur time period, why not AFTER the ice age when man was first starting out.

Exactly! The whole idea apparently is to restart mankind or something? So they go back to a time when they know there's a massive extinction event on the horizon? IDEFK.

exactly. so i'll give it a shot but man someone didn't think this through or more likely saw the success of Primeval and decided hey people like dinosaurs

LOL, yeah. Because Jurassic Park wasn't a big enough hint.

yes but that's OLD (seriously I have students who have never heard of it it's that old) Primeval is new (too British for Americans if Hollywood is to be believed)

This makes me weep. And feel ancient.

I was worried about being underwhelmed by Ringer but it turned out to be very twisty and turny and I like it so far. Hopefully it stays as unpredictable as that original episode last night.

a remake of prime suspect just seems so wrong and unnecessary to me. Is it good? Who's in it?

glad to hear good things about Ringers.

frankly i feel the same way but it's a female cop and they showed her with her face swollen to hell and back, you know like she WOULD get in a fight but how do you outdo Helen Mirrin?
