The fall season is here...

Question:
Out of the upcoming new fall shows, which are you most looking forward to?

Choices:
Men In Trees
The Class
Studio 60 On The Sunset Strip
Smith
Jericho
Kidnapped
Six Degrees
Shark
Brothers & Sisters
Dexter
Runaway
Heroes
Help Me Help You
Ugly Betty
The Game
Friday Night Lights
The Nine
30 Rock
20 Good Years
The Knights Of Prosperity

 

Six Degrees looks like it has a pretty dynamite cast, and J.J. Abrams has created two of my favorite shows in recent years in Lost and Alias.

Based on premise alone, The Nine and Heroes look interesting.

The comedies all look pretty stupid, with the sole exception being 30 Rock.

Everything looks like total shit except for 30 Rock which will probably suck but might not if Tracy Morgan is on screen enough.

I'm a bit excited for 30 Rock mainly because of Alec Baldwin. I think he's one of the most underrated comedic actors around.

30 Rock 'cos of Tina Fey. She is sooo hot.

Combine Tina Fey's writing (Mean Girls was very funny) and Tracy Morgan (I pretty much laugh every time he talks) and Alec Baldwin (easily one of the funniest SNL hosts still kicking) and 30 Rock could be really good. But, since it's a network sitcom, it could also be really, really lame.

30 Rock all the way. It has to be good if Tina Fey is willing to give up "head writer" status at SNL. Alec Baldwin in a sitcom??? It must have something great going for it.

Apparently, it's already got problems. According to Rob Sheffield's piece on the show in the new Rolling Stone, they've already dumped Rachel Dratch (who is funny) in favor of Jane Krakowski (who is not), formerly of Ally McBeal fame. It doesn't bode well when stars are switched mid-stream, and Dratch was a long-time comedic partner with Fey even before SNL. Retooling a show this late in the game is usually not good news...

The only new show I'm really anticipating at all right now is Shark. And that just because James Woods' performance looks so compelling.

There are a few others that seem like they could possibly be good. 30 Rock could be funny, but I don't trust anything where the head writer for the last few years of Saturday Night Live is involved. (Heck, anything from Saturday Night Live post-Norm.)

Then there's that 'Smith' show that strikes me as a 'Could possibly be great, will probably be weak'.

And 'The Class'. I don't know. Friends had good comedy writing, but it got way too repetetive and soap opera-ish with it's story arcs. Characters getting together, breaking up, getting together again, breaking up again, two main characters who are total opposites suddenly being madly in love...and I'm worried it'll go too much in that direction.

Then a few new episodic shows that seem to be trying to reproduce the CSI/Without a Trace feel, or serials that are trying to be like 24 and Prison Break. I guess we'll just see.

Heh...I don't know if Studio 60 will be a good show yet, but the first ten minutes ROCK.

He basically said about Saturday Night Live what we all pretty much think.

I have been waiting very patiently to hear something about Surface coming back into season. Im a fan of alot of shows and this one is one of my favorites. So when is it coming back?? Can't leave me hanging this show is as exciting and suspensful as Prison Break. Please dont tell me they decided not to finish the season. I notice that the boy from the show Surface made an appearance on CSI Miami. Hoping they have plans on still making him the star of Surface. Let me in on the bizz with Surface.

Jericho: i believe this because my AP teacher taught someone who is writing on this show. So far it is very good. Maybe watching the show before u call it crap or elsewhat woud have a better affect.

Hmm. 2 posts, both about how great "Big Day" is gonna be. Nobody's that excited about a sitcom. Especially one that got really lousy reviews. I smell a street teamer....

Two street teamers (or one using two accounts more likely).

Either way, buh-bye. Good catch, e.

Has there ever been a street teamer for a TV show here?

Mostly just MTV and TV shows on DVD. Not so many for shows that are currently airing.
