So its been awhile. I'm here in my lonesome in San Diego for two months, yet all i can do is watch TV, besides cleaning house (and talking to bureaucrats and filing paperwork - which I am now mentally blocking)! I think being here in the States during September Premiere week is so much fun. You can watch all the shows and form your own opinions. If I was abroad, I'd be reading reviews first before committing to aquiring all the shows.
So far, after three or four episodes into the new season (and I think I actually managed to watched all new pilots!) I've formed the following opinion:
Monday nights:
Watched: Chuck, Heroes, Aliens in America, Samatha Who?, Journeyman, and even Dancing With the Stars. The last was only because I was curious why it was the most viewed show. Sorry, thought it was boring and cheesy and the dancing was awful (So You think You Can Dance was so much more enjoyable).
Heroes is the only returning shows i'm watching, and I must say, I wasn't a real fan last season. It's slightly better this season as it has less of Ali and Co., and more Hiro and Horn Rimmed Glasses Guy. The Twins are Annoying even more so than Claire (am I the only one in the fansites who doesn't think she's the best character - ugh!). Even I find Molly more mature and sensible! If I was abroad, I wouldn't bother...
Chuck has surprised me after the first not-so-great pilot. Its getting better with each new episode. Its pure camp but not cheesy! Its suprisingly fun!! (Good thing to, my angst quota is full from BSG spoilers and minisodes). I am hearting Casey! If I was abroad, the sypnosis wouldn't have gotten me hooked at all...
AiA has good writing, but will it last? I sure hope so... Samantha Who just started, but it had a good start.
Journeyman ..... ai! Yuck! Just explain it already, because I really don't care about any of these people. Not the wife, not the financee, not the brother, maybe the boss, and slightly less than the main guy. It's not fair that the show has no real competition against it so that I still watch it in the background..... What a waste!
