Well, fall is officially here. You know what that means? Time to lose yourself in all of the new TV shows and waste away your evenings. There are quite a large number of new shows this season, and me and my wife are trying to figure out which ones we want to stick with. We already watch "Survivor", "The Amazing Race", "LOST", "Numb3rs", "The Office" and "House". Well, "The Office" and "House" we don't watch as much because it is recorded upstairs, and we really don't seem to be up there all that often except to sleep. We have quite a bit of "The Office" to catch up on (still have some of last season to watch.) Looking at our current list of shows, we have our reality, drama and one comedy. So I am looking into more comedy relief. Now that "Friends" and "Joey" are gone, we haven't found anything worth while.
I decided to record "The Class" last night to see if that would fit the bill. I downloaded the first episode... No wait, did I say download? I meant recorded last week. We watched it last night, and we aren't quite sure about it yet. It had it's moments, but there are a number of characters to adjust to, it's difficult to really accept it from a single episode. I will keep recording it and see how it pans out.
Another show that I recorded is "Studio 60". I don't know if we are even going to get into this one. I haven't heard too much about it, but I enjoy Matthew Perry so it may be worth it.
Oh! We also caught the premiere of "Heroes" last night. Very interesting. That is definitely one that we will keep watching, hopefully something that will continue for seasons to come.
Speaking of seasons to come, I got into 2 other shows last year that were canned: "Surface" and... Darnit. I can't remember the name. It's the one about the alien presense that is taking over people. It started out on a battleship or something like that and it is spreading. Carla Gugina (I think that is how you spell it) is in it, as well as 'Data' from Star Trek. Anyways, I guess the name isn't that important since that one got canned halfway through the season. "Surface" had some potential, especially during the beginning and middle of the season. Unfortunately, it kind of tailed off, and was kind of anti-climactic in the end of the season.
There was one pilot that I watched on You Tube, and I found it very refreshing, funny and entertaining. For some reason, the pilot was rejected and the show didn't see the light of day. I am trying to think of the name of it, but it isn't coming to me. I am going to have to search through You Tube to find it. It was based on a couple of guys that were hired to make a TV show and basically live on the set.
Since I am talking about You Tube, I admit it. I watched all of the 'lonelygirl15' video blogs. If you haven't heard about it, there were a number of video blogs supposedly published by some girl chronicling her life with 'Daniel' and her struggles with her parents. It got quite a following until it was learned that it's all fake and they are just actors. http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=lonelygirl15 Still entertaining.
