The New Season
Sep. 19th, 2004 06:39 pmWith the demise, last year, of "Angel" and "Wonderfalls" and the failure of "Tru Calling", I'm down to three shows that I regularly watch: "Everwood", "Gilmore Girls", and "Joan of Arcadia". So, I'm looking around for replacements. The new season doesn't look all that promising; there are only three shows that look at all appealing to me.
The first, "Jack & Bobby", has already debuted. The first episode was moderately interesting, although I don't find any of the characters particularly appealing (with the possible exception of Courtney). It's a gimmick show, and the gimmick worked fairly well in the first episode; I'm not sure how long they can keep it going, though. For the moment, I'll keep watching, but it's definitely on probation.
The other two newbies are "Veronica Mars" and "Lost", both premiering on Wednesday. We shall see.
The season's first episode of "Everwood", last week, was good, not outstanding. Notable scenes included the fight between Harold and Andy (ostensibly over office renovation), Andy's smackdown for arrogance at the hands of a complete stranger, and Amy's (utterly out-of-character) moment of maturity at the end. The sugar scene was pretty good too, as was Harold's nostalgia-induced freakout. And then there was... Oh, heck. There were plenty of good scenes, but nothing to match the best this show is capable of.
But it's GG and JoA I'm really looking forward to. The season-ending crises (not exactly cliffhangers) will take some time to resolve (especially in the case of JoA). This should be a good week.
