jeff_536 3 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Last year we were talking about shows like Life, Chuck, Pushing Up Daisies, Dirty Sexy Money etc.So what looks good out there this year?I caught the new FOX show, Fringe. Interesting, but a little silly at times. Could go in a lot of directions.The Mentalist looks interesting, as well, although it may be the worst name for a show I've ever heard.

Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I really enjoyed Fringe. X-Files meets Lost meets something else I lost since I just got a phone call.It had some flaws for sure but I think as time goes on it will get better.Dollhouse by Joss Whedon is on my radar (maybe Jan of 09)Caprica, the sorta spin of of BSG where they go back 50 yrs before the cylon war.Kath And Kim might be good as well.

Smacciemac 3 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Last night I watched the 2nd episode of the new Son's of Anarchy. So far it has me interested and I like it. Link to post Share on other sites

So far it has me interested and I like it.This is a really good show, granted I've only seen the first episode. Any information if FX will replay the second one some time this week?

LadyGrey 8 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Kath And Kim might be good as well.Nope. The original Australian version is funny, but the American version just took the plot but lost the characters and therefore the wit and humour. Link to post Share on other sites

Could go in a lot of directions.The Mentalist looks interesting, as well, although it may be the worst name for a show I've ever heard.Fringe has potential to be very good. I really enjoyed the 1st ep and look forward to see more as long as the network execs don't "note" it to death.The Mentalist struck me as a ripoff of Psych with a dramatic bent. I think I'm gonna pass until I hear some chatter about it.I really haven't seen much advertised as far as new shows, or if I have nothing tickled my brain enough for me to become interested. I'm looking forward to returning sophomores shows like Life and Chuck mostly. Link to post Share on other sites
SBriand 4 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Nope. The original Australian version is funny, but the American version just took the plot but lost the characters and therefore the wit and humour.Well it's more because my wife's high school classmate is in it.

Suited_Up 2 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Nope. The original Australian version is funny, but the American version just took the plot but lost the characters and therefore the wit and humour.I agree without having seen either one.I think it might be the worst casting job ever.

Piddle Duck 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Replaying the show again on Sundayhttp://io9.com/5047464/fringe-re+run-offer...er-of-sf-extrasEdit: oops wrong topic. This is for fringe. I will now go post it in the Fringe topic. Link to post Share on other sites
brvheart 1,768 Posted September 13, 2008 Share Posted September 13, 2008 Nope. The original Australian version is funny, but the American version just took the plot but lost the characters and therefore the wit and humour.I'll bet you think this about The Office as well.

Any information if FX will replay the second one some time this week?I see from the website that you can watch the episode online here..EpisodesI guess it is too late to look for the replay. I see on their schedule they have a replay of episode #2 now on Sunday at midnight. They probably had the pilot last week Link to post Share on other sites
