The new prime-time TV shows are out!
OK, it's only been a week or two already. But I want to guage FR opinion. I know many of you are not too keen on network TV and that's fine - but there are a lot of us who do watch regular TV on occasion.
What do you like (or dislike) for the new shows?
Like I said, it's early but my favorites are:
"The Unit" - carried over from last year
"Jericho"
"Shark"
Well, tell me what you think!
The new Wife Swap's are a riot!!
We like "Kidnapped" but can't wait for "24" to start up again.
I watch college football on Saturdays.
As for the rest, CLICK!
We just watched "The Unit" last night for the first time. Pretty good, and something for the guys (exciting action) and the gals (soapy home front). Shark was OK too, but it really is just James Woods so far, the supporting cast is not like the one on "House" for example, which remains a fave. We also watched "Smith" last night and that was pretty OK too, although it is hard to root for the thieves.
Patiently waiting for Lost to come back on.
Only TV I watch anymore seems to be the golf channel. I can tell you it was no fun watching the Eurotrash cream our boys. That Sergio Garcia should be buried alive I hate him so much.
I like: "Vanished", "Kidnapped" (see a trend here?)
I suffered throught the first episode of Studio 60 and absolutely thought it was the lamest thing I had seen in a long time.
I liked Shark, but I'm waiting to see if it can hold my attention. My hope is that James Woods (who I really like), can pull off a 'House' curmudgeon, but with a more diverse story line.
The Unit is great, I started watching it last year and liked it.. Reminds me of the old 'Mission Impossible' with some added soap.
I liked the first Smith, but the verdict is still out. Ray Liotta is great, but maybe too strong for TV. Not a show for the kids.
I watch CSI (the original) and I, and Mrs tje, watch CSI: Miami, but we're not entralled with that.
I still like NCIS, even though it's somewhat 'hokey'.. (Smith is not).
We also like Survivor.. this year especially as the Mrs and I have spent time in the Cook Islands. Roratong and Aitutaki. It was a wonderful place with no TV and the Maori's were wonderful people.. We will never forget that place..
You can also add Eureka to the list. I don't watch network TV anymore.. sorry.
Not sure where I stand with Studio 60.
Bones is OK, Never miss Denny Crane,
But my favorite night is Thursdays, The Office and Earl.
The Amazing Race
Survivor
The Office
"House" and "Dancing with the Stars". Don't really know why about House but DwtS because of Sara Evans. Hope she lasts a long time in this competition.
Love "The Unit". "Shark" was terrific. Haven't seen Jericho. Kinda like "Eureka", but still on the fence...That's on SciFi - does that count?
All things "reality" are detestable in my view.
Regards, Ivan
"The Unit is great, ... Reminds me of the old 'Mission Impossible... "
I was thinking the very same thing after last night's episode...
I liked "Shark".
