TV: What I am watching... PART 1
Well here we are running into the November sweeps and all the new shows are falling in to line. But what am I watching this year?
MONDAY NIGHTS
Prison Break (FOX) Season 2 - Last year this was a show that had me wondering where they could go with it once they get past the actual breaking out of prison. Well after the disappointing finale which left me with a bad taste in my mouth the second season has picked up alot of the slack, offering the gutwrenching cliffhangers which the first season lived on. Introducing new characters whilst finishing off some familiar faces.
Now we are a couple of weeks away from the forced Fall finale (show returns next March), the Burrows brothers are without their money that they planned to have and are know being tracked by a drug taking Marshall (William Fitchner). It is still hard to see how FOX are going to keep the twists coming, but they have managed it for over 5 years on 24. So let us enjoy the ride for now.
Heroes (NBC) NEW SHOW - A show that is quickly closing in on Lost for the amount of weekly anticipation that it causes in me. My inner, and outer, geek are loving every minute of this great new serialised drama. My initial fears that the theme of the show would lose alot of the audience have been allayed as the show is getting the best ratings of any new show on TV this year.
But even if you aren't a comic book reader this show has enough drama and character to involve you.
Also on Mondays: How I Met Your Mother (CBS) - In it's second season and still very funny.
TUESDAY NIGHTS
Veronica Mars (CW) 3rd season - Gotta love me some Veronica. Now that I've kind of gotten over the horrific changes to the title music and credits this new season has picked up well. The move away from the location of Neptune High to the college reminds me of Buffy's move over. It gives the show a slightly different which at first was unnerving but it has grown on me.
The shame of the whole thing is that in ratings so far this year VM is only beating one or two shows on it's own network. Which could spell trouble come the next season when they'll want to run a few new shows. I just can't understand with the talent and writing behind this show as why it remains largely unwatched. It is just a travesty.
