As a HUGE Kolchak fan, I am disturbed that I was not pinged. :)P
Well, anyway. I watched last night (after the season premiere of SMALLVILLE). I wasn't expecting much, to be honest, but it was slightly better than I had hoped. The review is correct in that Stuart Townsend--although he isn't bad-- doesn't seem to really have the screen "presence" or biting wit that fans would expect for such a role. The interplay between him and Gabrielle Union was pretty good. Didn't see enough of the guy playing Tony Vincenzo to form an opinion. On opposite CSI, I'm sure it'll struggle to find an audience. But I'll keep watching.
And as someone else said...coming Tuesday...
I watched it. I too didn't expect much and got slightly more than I expected. The only actor who impressed me was the guy who played the kid photographer. Gabrielle Union is pretty, though. For me, the show has no soul. I'll keep watching, though.
For those of you who were fans of the old show, but haven't seen this one yet: this is a completely different show.
I did order the DVD set of the old series. I hope it's as good as I remember it. I already have the DVD of The Night Stalker / The Night Strangler TV movies. Those movies hold up just fine for me. :)
