The Fall Season’s slowly creeping its way upon us, and since Fox has been good enough to start up early, I’m living up to an earlier promise to post my reactions/impressions of the new season.
Prison Break: For those living under a rock, or who don’t own a TV (you know who you are), Prison Break is a Fox series about, guess what, a prison break. This is its second season, and its been much better than its last. I know a lot of folks enjoyed season 1, but I got tired of all the “prison” stuff. This season, they’re out and on the lam. So far, I’ve been enjoying it: good action, good drama.
Vanished: Fox’s (and the season’s) first new series. It’s a pretty ho-hum show. I watch it because Ming Na is in it, and I’m a big fan. However, the show has potential (lots of secrets under the covers), and could get better. I’ll keep watching and hoping for now (at least until the competition starts).
Standoff: I shudder at the idea of a hostage situation each week. Seems like a lot of tension. So far, the show seems okay. I’m not too hot on the romance between the two main characters. It’s okay as “back story”, but I hope they concentrate on the crises.
House: I don’t watch it. I know, I’m a communist. I find it boring.
Bones: Second season for this show. Dr. Brennan is still as asocial as last season. She’s interesting to watch, since she's a “geek’s geek”, and displays all of the anti-social behaviors stereotypically common to the genre. Yes, I said “all”. There’s no way a real person could function the way she does. Once you realize that, the behavior goes from “annoying” to “entertaining”. She has a new boss this season who’s a much better foil for her than last season’s boss.
Justice: I think of this show as “Just Ice”. It’s extremely superficial, with no real drama to the cases. If you like to watch naive lawyers fooling themselves and slimy lawyers, you might like this show. Might. I’ll watch it until something better comes along, which will be any day now; it won’t take much.
Fashion House: My God! The show looks like porn! I don’t mean the explicitness (though they sure take every advantage to show women running around in their underwear), the production quality is so cheesy that it really does look like (clean) porn! The acting is not as bad as daytime soaps. It’s not holding my interest, though.
Desire: This is the other My TV Network show (5 days a week, with a sixth recap show). After my Fashion House experience, I don’t think I’ll even bother with this show.
That’s it so far. 2 weeks to the big premiere week.
