Warming up for the fall TV season
I've been re-watching season 1 of FNL in preparation for the new season, and god, I'm still just in awe at the character development and storytelling. So much is done with so little - a glance here, a throwaway line there - it's the details raise this show from the level of a mediocre family drama to something truly extraordinary.
I've been unspoiled this summer and don't know anything about what may or may not happen (and would like to stay that way, so please don't post spoilers to my journal). But I'm very excited about the potential, and nervous about the possibility that this show I love so much won't be able to clear the bar it's set for itself. I do hope it's able to find a wider audience this year - I'm afraid NBC will pull it pretty early on if the numbers aren't better. And that would be heartbreaking.
I'm also pleasantly surprised at the promos for Moonlight I've been seeing. I haven't read spoilers for that, either. But I find the main character, Mick, much more engaging in those promos than I expected to. So maybe it won't be an hour of waiting around for Jason to show up on screen.
Anybody planning to watch Dirty Sexy Money? Heard anything good about it? I love Peter Krause from way back in his Sports Night days, and am so glad he's returning to network TV where I can see him. We dropped HBO/Showtime after the first season of Six Feet Under, so I never saw most of that.
Only about two weeks til things get started - I've been clearing the old stuff out of my DVR (including season 3 VM, bye bye) in preparation. Pass the popcorn.
