so by krycek08	Feb 13th, 2008 07:40:26 PM

Umm.Yay. by eggbeater	Feb 13th, 2008 07:42:14 PM
I gonna give Heroes another shot. And alot of people seem to like Life. I've seen a couple of episodes and it was pretty good. Chuck just kinda turned average.
Why? by Pipple	Feb 13th, 2008 07:48:12 PM
Who watches this stuff? Damn kids... check out some classics on the intertubes so you can become a man.
Thanks, Herc... by Pennsy	Feb 13th, 2008 07:49:17 PM
That be quick! :)
Can live with or without HEROES. by LoneGun	Feb 13th, 2008 07:49:34 PM
Preferably, I'd like to live WITH it, if Kring & Co. can tap back into the dramatic edge and momentum that the first season had. I'm definitely gonna give it another shot.
Is it wrong? by BLIND ALBINO PENGUINS	Feb 13th, 2008 07:51:49 PM
Is it wrong that I want to put it in Hayden Panettiere's butt?

Cool. by TattooedBillionaire	Feb 13th, 2008 07:53:47 PM
Good to see Heroes getting extended.
They just didn't handle s2 of Heroes well. by sonic3305	Feb 13th, 2008 07:54:28 PM
I get that they rushed the hell out of the story in order to have some closure before the strike, but they should have just paced the story as planned and stopped with a "cliffhanger." The second season already wasn't as good as s1 and the mega-rushed final few episodes really killed it for me.
What did we do to deserve another season of HEROES? by JackIsLost	Feb 13th, 2008 07:55:58 PM
Whatever it was, I'm sorry. Very, very sorry. No hit, NBC!
JOURNEY OF FUCKING MAN by PVIII	Feb 13th, 2008 07:56:10 PM
c'mon now NBC, take a risk.
Are the rumors about Boston Legal true?? by picardsucks	Feb 13th, 2008 08:00:15 PM
If it's canceled we need a Denny Crane spinoff show
Any chance FOX gives Journeyman a chance by NoodlesHahn	Feb 13th, 2008 08:01:01 PM
since it's a FOX production? I don't really know how stuff like that works. Oy, I can't believe I want a show to end up on FOX...
And speaking of shows changing networks... by NoodlesHahn	Feb 13th, 2008 08:03:49 PM
any chance Friday Night Lights ends up on Showtime? That female cast without the restraints of network TV would definitely bring in some viewers.
Journeyman should be at the top of the list. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 13th, 2008 08:08:20 PM
It's true, it's true!
refresh my memory here by waggy	Feb 13th, 2008 08:09:14 PM
Was 30 Rock already renewed? I thought I remember hearing the but am not sure. Hopefully FNL will get some slack on the awkward year and get a renewal, but from what I'm reading, most networks are going the opposite way on that issue.
Journeyman--best show ever cancelled by zacdilone	Feb 13th, 2008 08:10:26 PM
NBC sure didn't know what they had there.
glad for Life being renewed by smackfu	Feb 13th, 2008 08:12:06 PM
This show is underrated, even by me and I like it. I find it's one of those shows that when it's not on, you're not remotely interested in it, but the moment you're watching it, you're sucked in pretty deep for that hour.
And of course by ewokstew	Feb 13th, 2008 08:13:23 PM
No Journeyman. Typical...
Fox can't even keep their own qualities shows going... by JackIsLost	Feb 13th, 2008 08:13:30 PM
let alone those of other networks. Ahhh, "Arrested Development"... Fox had the greatest sitcom ever made and they flushed it down the toilet.
Looks like NBC folks DON'T watch "Heroes" by gnortsmra	Feb 13th, 2008 08:16:04 PM
Call me crazy, but last time I checked, there is no way to get BY CAR from the Dominican Republic (an f'in ISLAND! for crissakes) to the US. Maybe they should leave the press release writing to people that may have actually watched the show. That, or it was written without professional writers during the strike.
What really worries me.... by smackfu	Feb 13th, 2008 08:18:36 PM
is that there are enough mouth breathers in the country to get American Gladiators renewed.
Friday Night Lights by Tcal	Feb 13th, 2008 08:26:21 PM
Ugh! Between SciFi f'ing around with Battlestar Galactica, Lost taking 4 years between seasons (is this Sopranos?) and NBC "dropping the ball" with FNL and Journeyman, I think I'll start reading.

as long as you dont mind following me, its fine to want to stick it in Hayden Panettieres butt.
Peeps float across from Cuba all the time. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 13th, 2008 08:28:58 PM
Sure a car/raft trip from the Dominican Republic might take a bit longer than a trip from Cuba, but it isn't entirely impossible. Of course, if memory serves, Maya and Miguel, or whatever the hell his name was, started out in Venezuela or El Salvador. They spent the entire season driving north through Central America, and then Mexico, where they picked up Sylar and made it to NY in like 45 minutes...
Journeyman by tehgreekhammer	Feb 13th, 2008 08:30:38 PM
rocked by the way. stupid NBC. Really stupid. thank god we get to tune in @ 8pm to see what color bandana Hulk Hogan will be wearing though.
Wow by Jaka	Feb 13th, 2008 08:35:07 PM
Look at all the Journeyman love. I couldn't get into that one, and I really tried. And I guess I don't watch a lot of NBC, either. Because none of this means anything to me. lol Yes, yes. Bash away. It's true, I don't watch Heroes. I'm really hoping Pushing Daisies comes back, though.
GREAT NEWS! by Frank Black	Feb 13th, 2008 08:37:34 PM

Life is Unwatchable by ScooterKSU	Feb 13th, 2008 08:43:37 PM
If it takes a slot that should go to Friday Night Lights would be a shame.
Floating Peeps by gnortsmra	Feb 13th, 2008 08:45:54 PM
Point well taken. However, I still contend that NBC PR should have known that. As for Journeyman, I caught a few episodes here and there (just couldn't get into it), and NBC should have given it a fairer shake. It's not like they're flush with quality programming, and I'm sure they could have given up one hour of Howie or Dateline if they really wanted to.
Chuck means YVONNE will be back on my screen by chromedome	Feb 13th, 2008 08:47:43 PM

xiphos by gnortsmra	Feb 13th, 2008 08:47:48 PM
I thought it was a deleted and they were going to include it in the DVD release.
fuck fuck fuck by soup74	Feb 13th, 2008 08:47:49 PM
not like i didnt already know this, but i was lying to myself... its all about Journeyman. please..some other network, cut the budget if you have to, it was good enough writing to make due with half the special effects, just please pick it up. addendum: Life? Life? might be a good show, but who the fuck watches it? does it really deserve more of a chance than journeyman? if so, perhaps i should start watching it.
oh, and jaka... by soup74	Feb 13th, 2008 08:50:57 PM
im a hardcore journeyman fan (obviously) but im also excited about pushing daisies coming back.. it took a 3rd place for TV shows in my heart. (1-lost,2-journeyman, 3-pushing daisies) plus my girlyfriend liked it a bunch, so it was good we had a show to watch together.
yuck by slkboxrman	Feb 13th, 2008 08:52:47 PM
chuck sucks ...that should be cancelled and bring back journeyman and bionic...life is awesome too...im really not sure how people watch chuck....its really quite bad, but maybe all the simpletons of the world can follow it cuz it is for simple minded dumb people....makes sense in this mtv real world, brainless show loserfest the world seems to be stuck in the last few years....any shows that are deep and u have to actually pay attention to get lost in the shuffle.....sad sad sad
Herc, anything on Terminator? by Judge Briggs	Feb 13th, 2008 08:54:45 PM
Show is actually good! Anything?
I don't remember that, Xiphos. by Pops Freshemeyer	Feb 13th, 2008 08:56:51 PM
I recall that the twins and Sylar crossed the border, then stopped at a hotel overnight. Then they were in NYC at Isaac's loft. I just figured they hotwired Wonder Woman's invisible jet or something.
Heroes needs by Onset	Feb 13th, 2008 09:01:51 PM
1) bring back Claude 2) more Elle 3) put a limit on the healing blood (no raising the dead). should need a fucking transfusion to heal burn scars, not a small injection. 4) no more "future" threats.
you know NBC should do... by soup74	Feb 13th, 2008 09:07:39 PM
they should being back journeyman. (YEAH!!! IVE BEEN WAITING A MONTH TO RE-USE THAT LINE!)
Xiphos and Pops by gnortsmra	Feb 13th, 2008 09:08:41 PM
And here I thought I was being mildly clever with my sarcasm. Pops-- I'm guessing they hired Endo (not Ando) to kidnap Hiro, strapped some jumper cables on his nipples, and used his power to get to the City double quick. just a thought...
STAR TREK delayed until May 09 by JackIsLost	Feb 13th, 2008 09:16:51 PM
I'm guessing the script needed rewrites. That and the fact that no Trek movie is going to win Oscars, so why bother releasing it at Christmas.
3 shows I won't be watching... by Zardoz	Feb 13th, 2008 09:21:11 PM

I actually look forward to Chuck more than Heroes by commiepinko	Feb 13th, 2008 09:23:00 PM

soup74 by chiahead	Feb 13th, 2008 09:26:06 PM
Yes, Life is a great show. I enjoyed both it and Journeyman thoroughly and surprisingly, both for the same reason. They were both shows whose core concept was nothing I hadn't heard of before and enjoyed in the past, but their main characters were so well drawn and so well performed that it almost seemed like a wheel was being reinvented. It's a shame about Journeyman. I'm glad they got to at least air the 13 odd episodes they made though. Really satisfying ending.
Oh Geez.... by Merlox	Feb 13th, 2008 09:27:00 PM

Jaka, Pushing Daisies is coming back... by Pennsy	Feb 13th, 2008 09:29:19 PM
there's a talkback on ABC's early re-ups for 2008-09 which is about to disappear from the main AICN.com page (but can be found if you click Coaxial).
The good thing about the strike... by Funketeer	Feb 13th, 2008 09:33:42 PM
is that these abbreviated seasons could easily be repromoted over the summer to help some of those bubble shows earn an audience. That is, if the networks ever thought that way.
PINEAPPLE! by smeagol2	Feb 13th, 2008 09:47:00 PM
Love Chuck. Very happy about the renewal. I will watch Heroes but I just hope they work out a really good ARC for these characters. Season 2 will not be on my DVD list.
Happy for Life sad about Journeyman by aversiontherapy2	Feb 13th, 2008 10:26:28 PM
I thought both series were equally interesting and creative within their genre. Still, usually everything I like gets canceled so this is a bonus.
5 reasons why Chuck... is... AWESOME! by expert_40	Feb 13th, 2008 10:45:10 PM
Reason No. 1 is the blonde. Reason No. 2 is the hot sister. Reason No. 3 is Adam Baldwin. Reason No. 4 is CAPTAIN AWESOME! Reason No. 5 is the possibility of more Rachel Bilson.
WHERE THE FUCK IS JOURNEYMAN?!?! by DustoMan	Feb 13th, 2008 10:49:27 PM

Celebrity Apprentice and...... by closeencounter	Feb 13th, 2008 11:07:57 PM
American Gladiators?...tsk...tsk. While shows like Journeyman go to the brink of oblivion (and Bionic Woman just dies, sorry). The wants of the many outweigh the wants of the few (with better taste). Oh well, back to my Angel DVD's!
Oh and good for.... by closeencounter	Feb 13th, 2008 11:09:09 PM
Chuck and Heroes.
Is it wrong for me to want to.. by CeejayNightwing	Feb 13th, 2008 11:17:47 PM
Put it in Sarah Lancaster's butt (CHUCK's Sister) right after i take it out of Hayden Panetiere's? Seriously though, Journeyman was the best new show of this season and if these suits actually watched TV instead of playing system analyst all day, then they'd realize viewing figures does not equate quality; sometimes people just don't get a chance to see a gem because of the crappy schedule it gets. Like being pasted against Monday night footbal for example! I;m glad Pushing Daisies is coming back because it's truly unique TV, Chuck deserves its 2nd season but i hope REAPER gets a 2nd chance to shine too, its just as cheap as Chuck but is the most entertaining show on the box!

Fuck Ben Silverman!!! by Ziggyaaron	Feb 13th, 2008 11:27:58 PM
What a douche!! Friday Night Lights has more class in a single episode than this douchebag will come to know in his entire life. The next original thought he has will be the first. Case in point: Before he took over at NBC his claims to fame were The Office and Ugly Betty, both ripoffs of well established foreign television shows. Since his take over his claims to fame have been: American Gladiators, Knight Rider and Celebrity Apprentice! He wouldn't know original or quality if it bit him in the ass. FUCK I hate this guy. He is turning a once quality network into Fox of the early 90's. It's only a matter of time before we are seeing America's Dumbest-Mindnumbing Police Chases, When Animals Attack Transexuals and anything else he can copy.
Oh yeah, about Terminator - Sarah Connor by Ziggyaaron	Feb 13th, 2008 11:32:30 PM
Don't get too attached. It's done after the last 4 episodes if history is any guide. Fox would have pulled the plug long ago if it weren't for the strike. Expensive hourlong dramas that don't perform with big ratings on Fox get axed. They'll show the last four but no way they bring it back with the ratings it gets. Case in point: Fastlane, Drive and many more.
slkboxrman... by xsi kal	Feb 14th, 2008 12:00:45 AM
The fact that you're championing Bionic Woman while denouncing Chuck for not being 'deep' does more to defeat your own argument than anything I could post here.

Although just an okay show, Bionic Woman had potential to grow into something great with some solid writing and a few less producer changes.

Chuck, meh. Heroes, hmm. Life, sweet, Journeyman, RIP by tehBIGIvan	Feb 14th, 2008 04:20:07 AM
IMO. Chuck's writing has good characters but plot and dialogue has been lackluster (I end up watching funnier Big Bamg Theory instead). Heroes S2 had major pacing problems, but I'm willing to give it another shot. Life consistantly delivered with good well developed character based drama. And Journeyman was a treat and very smart(which made viewers feel dumb). Journeyman's biggest flaw will make it a great DVD release; that flaw of cours was its ginormous music budget(they cleared the rights for every song used for the DVD).
And Now rumors of NBC suing over Golden Globes by MGTHEDJ	Feb 14th, 2008 04:31:38 AM
crazy rumor going around that NBC wants to sue the WGA because the strike ruined the Golden Globes show. These NBC executives are idiots. The Golden Globes have no real respect in the industry. The voters are 30-50 freelance writers who just sit at home and watch TV, which explains why there TV nominations are actually pretty good, because they are the only people in L.A. who watch primetime TV Mondays-Saturdays. Everyone else in that city has to work those days. Glad "Chuck" is coming back, hope the girl from "Bionic Woman" just banked her checks. If she did, she can now be more selective with her next project. The girl does have talent and is easy on the eyes.------later------m

Bionic Woman by photoboy	Feb 14th, 2008 05:13:05 AM
I kinda wish this wasn't so cancelled, it had a piss poor start and the revolving door of producers clearly fucked things, but it did seem to be getting interesting when it got cancelled. Still, I'm glad Chuck is back, it's probably the best new show of the season. I just hope Prison Break isn't cancelled... even though I'm still pissed they killed Dr Sara off. :(
the bowl winder that was Bionic Woman by gotilk	Feb 14th, 2008 08:39:23 AM
THE ONLY thing interesting about Bionic Woman was Michelle Ryan. Her better work was in Jekyll. Well, actually Miguel Ferrer is pretty damned cool. Just not on Bionic Woman. Matter of fact, I'm wondering if he maybe has a coke habit now or something, or a gambling debt. Cause he was slumming.
On one hand... by BLIND ALBINO PENGUINS	Feb 14th, 2008 08:50:00 AM
I wouldn't mind Heroes coming back for a third season. I liked the first, and was ok with the second. On the other hand, a potential cancellation could motivate Kristen Bell to opt for Playboy if she's strapped for cash. Girl's gotta eat!

itchy "enter key" finger by Steve_Dooku	Feb 14th, 2008 09:29:55 AM
More like NBC couldn't find the audience that watched Journeyman since they actually did exist. You'd think that the Jericho thing would have shown the Networks that their old ratings gathering methods are outdated. Pfftt....American Gladiator. The chicks look like juiced up dudes with make-up. Yuck.

Yay for Chuck! by mymonkeysnameisjennifer	Feb 14th, 2008 10:18:32 AM
After a shaky start, this show really came into it's own, so I'm psyched to see it getting picked up! Same for Life. Couldn't care less about Heroes anymore. But I totally agree with all who said Journeyman should come back - amazing show! And where... is the Reaper? He's at home, washing his cancellation!
Fuck Journeyman, LIFE rules! by HarrysNemesis	Feb 14th, 2008 10:27:41 AM
Sorry guys... I watched every show of Journeyman and liked it... wish it had been renewed... but I think it's about time you guys get over it -- it is NOT coming back!! Thank GOD someone at NBC has half a brain to stand behind LIFE -- the best written show on Television right now besides the wire (and soon to be the best, once the wire is done). Best dialogue on network TV right now. Period. I just hope they put it in a better timeslot to give it more of a chance at better ratings.
Bionic Woman is the example that Refutes those by chromedome	Feb 14th, 2008 10:34:37 AM
who think that only a show's "creators" are worthy of residuals: They had the concept, the premise, the basic structure, the cast--but the writing and plotting was pure excrement. Bad Writing killed that show. Bad WritKring almost took Heroes down in S2. Chuck, on the other hand, has a pretty silly concept, but has great casting and GREAT writing--it is back, BW is not. Here Endeth The Lesson.

Journeyman is worth more investment. I'm really disappointed that NBC is only choosing to look at numbers with that one. The time slot was not good, and not helped by a poor season of HEROES. Frankly, Journeyman is the ONLY show they have worth a renewal. Oh well, my TV goes back off. Nothing to watch.

Good to know Life will be back by Big Jim	Feb 14th, 2008 01:07:10 PM
I've also enjoyed Chuck, and hope to be more entertained by S3 of Heroes than I was by S2. But NBC is on my shit-list for cancelling Journeyman and (possibly) Friday Night Lights. What happened to quality television? Oh, right, the networks decided to pander to the fickle, ADD afflicted masses by airing programs that are the equivalent of shiny beads. "Look at how preety they are when they catch the light. Ooooh!" It's like the networks are just holding up their keys and rattling them. "That'll keep them distracted for the hour". But what NBC fails to realize is if they go after that audience, that's what they will be stuck with. The rest of us who require substance will be forced to move on to greener pastures. If NBC wants to become the gameshow network, go ahead, those of us that want something more will watch ABC or even CBS. And when the easily-entertained masses begin to wake from their NBC crapfest comas and look around to see nothing but a plucked peacock, they too will leave in search of something more. So good luck NBC in your desperate attempt to get as much cash as you can flooding your schedule with primetime gameshows, it will be the death of you.
Journeyman was the best in the fall lineup by cromulent	Feb 14th, 2008 01:11:49 PM
It was ok at the beginning, then it starting getting good. Then towards the end, it starting getting really good. Just add it to the list of shows that were too good for primetime television.
Adam Baldwin gets a second season on by skimn	Feb 14th, 2008 02:14:51 PM

Okay, I'll say it: I love Life. by AnnoyYou	Feb 14th, 2008 02:19:49 PM
Although in the past I've hated Damian Lewis in his British incarnation, as thingy, Crews on Life he has this weird Steve McQueenish thing going on (his is the best American accent outside of Jonny Lee Miller, Jamie Bamber and Anna Friel) and I sort of dig him. The story arc is weird and unsettling, he has this bizarre push-me-pull-you dance going on with his Hispanic/Arabic partner, and...I just like him. I so wanted to love Journeyman, and instead I end up loving Life. Go figure.
USA Today has a rundown of shows that by skimn	Feb 14th, 2008 02:25:46 PM
are picking up production, and adding additional episodes due to the end of the writers strike (did anyone think it would last longer than the Oscar telecast..?), and Reaper is not on that list. Too bad. Hopefully Ray Wise will be remembered this summer for the Emmys.

but after a few episodes, I lost all intrest. jamie leading a double life unbeknownst to her little sister gets old real fast.You would think she's Spiderwoman or something.The supporting characters aside from Miguel ferrer, isaiah washington and the Starbuck chick were boring. not too mention lack of fembots, I was hoping for a more hardcore BW who performs rescue missions one moment, then assassinations the next. Instead the producers are sticking to the original premise from the 70's series. Wasted potentual indeed.
Journeyman Haters by Furzee	Feb 14th, 2008 04:29:43 PM
Granted, this show started off as a Quantum Leap rip-off. A weak one at that. But I gotta admit this sucker grew on me towards the end. The stories got darker and more mature, and the time travel actually started to make sense as it was explained. Too bad NBC, you really should have stuck with this one 1 more season. Life...Loved it, Crews is a cool cat and I can't wait to see him get darker next season.
I want Journeyman renewed, and new Heroes writers by Drath	Feb 14th, 2008 04:44:51 PM
Fire every writer on Heroes and hire the team from Mutant Enemy's shows (I know Herc would support that), or somebody who can deliver strong characters AND good action/suspense AND humor. They've got a decent set up, by the need a whole new show runner to make something out of it before it all goes to shit. One more shit season and this show will be in the crapper. Journeyman however was good, it will be the biggest loss of this season if it doesn't get renewed.
Reaper is a CW show, guys by Drath	Feb 14th, 2008 04:49:20 PM
I haven't heard if it's cancelled, being a CW show it probably won't get much support from its network, but this article is about NBC shows so I wouldn't be upset that it isn't mentioned in here.

Why do they keep calling Chuck a drama? by TruPhan	Feb 14th, 2008 06:58:20 PM
Is it because it gets no laughs?
That was mean by TruPhan	Feb 14th, 2008 06:58:57 PM
I actually enjoy Chuck, but the setup couldn't be passed up.
big jim by slkboxrman	Feb 14th, 2008 07:43:35 PM
so am i understanding correctly that u think CHUCK is a quality show ? u musta said that for laughs..chuck is for the brain dead mtv generation, im really not sure how anyone can get thru one whole episode without cuttin their wrists or strangling themselves with a plastic bag. ..and for the 'turd that said "EACH MOMENT IS MORE INTERESTING THAN THE LAST" are u kidding ?? give me whatever drugs ur doing or just STFU.......... life was worth bringin back and so is journeyman.....i still like bionic, i still feel it was gettin better as it went...im glad the internet wasnt around when star trek next gen came out, otherwise u crying babies woulda cried for 2 yrs, thats how many seasons it took for that show to hit its full stride, it lasted for 7 yrs.

Xiphos, that is brilliance! LONG LIVE JOURNEYMAN!!!
skimn, you watch Ninja Warrior too? by Pennsy	Feb 14th, 2008 08:57:33 PM
I don't believe I'm saying this, but that's a guilty pleasure; especially hearing the actual Japanese TV-Asahi (?) broadcast. So, so fun.
Thanks for Chuck but by ctrlbuild	Feb 15th, 2008 01:25:51 AM
Come, a little Journeyman. Really, did you expect more than 3 to 4 million a night in that time slot with the way you were marketing that?
Xiphos / Pennsy by IAmMrMonkey!	Feb 15th, 2008 05:18:15 AM
To answer your question Xiphos - busy, dude! Got myself a smart new job that takes up a lot of my time but also pays me almost twice as much as before! So all is good. Oh and I've been getting drunk a lot which is also good. Pennsy - they're dissing K.Bell? What on earth for?! I shall roll straight over and take a look!
Xiphos, M-O-M got that wrong by Lost Jarv	Feb 15th, 2008 05:35:49 AM
seriously, Listen to me: "Taking A piss" means to go to the toilet. "Taking THE piss" is to tease/ take the mickey/ insult. I don't mean to be a grammar nazi, and I meant to correct him at the time, but never, ever, listen to the little prick about anything.
Journeyman is the BEST show you dont know you have by Mr_X	Feb 15th, 2008 08:37:01 AM
for goodness sake theres a love here for this show and the thing is its everyone whos saying it, theres people who normally wouldnt watch who love it. this is a grower that needs a person to run with it and see that it has the potential to be your biggest hit. for goodness sake give it another shot. those writers have gotten there rhythem sorted, they will pull out the stops and we'll all watch. I cant belive you did relaise this on dvd already. do it, and see how many people buy the godamm season. http://www.savejourneyman.net
Chuck surprised me by nicegoogly	Feb 15th, 2008 10:04:58 AM
I wanted to hat that show, but my wife insisted on watching it before Heroes and Journeyman. I enjoyed Journeyman, but it needed to pick up a bit. Once I realized Chuck did not take itself as serious as Bionic Woman and how sharp the humor and cast was, it really took me in. I won't shit on Lost as I simply have not watched the show, but there is so much crap. I love CSI, but the two spinoffs are off in a totally other dimension. Bionica Lewinsky could not get off the fuckin' ground. Miguel Ferrer needs a better vehicle and put his shit out front. Heroes was simply insulting. The only thing good about Season or Chapter or Volume 2, whatever, was that the shitty Ali Larter storyline finally fuckin' ended. DL gets shot (believed to be dead) at the end of season one, only to come back, be a cooler, more heroic character, to get shot...again...saving Ali Larter from her third, unseen personality, that was not mean and superpowered, but slutty. What a great turn for a SciFi/Fantasy show...other than Chuck, there was not much to speak about on Network TV. A censored Dexter is on its way, which is great, but censored. Dexter was the best show this season and last season.
Journeyman is (was) different than Quantum Leap. by tehBIGIvan	Feb 15th, 2008 10:09:31 AM
Quantum leap was about a man traveling through time, changing the past. Journeyman was about happens to the modern day life and loved ones of a man travels through time, and aside from like two episodes, Quantum Leap never covered that subject.
I had to come around to Chuck too by _Maltheus_	Feb 15th, 2008 11:26:24 AM
There was something about the pre-air that I hated, but I still gave it a chance and ended up really enjoying Chuck. Ideally though, I'd like to see NBC maintain its entire Monday night lineup, Journeyman included. Mondays are so depressing that it was nice to have three shows in a row that I could watch. Heroes needs to nail the next season premiere, dispensing with any slow build. I still think it's a good show, but you can't leave people with the taste of crap in their mouths for so long and not expect the numbers to take a big hit. This was the real problem with the Lost S3 6-ep mini-season, followed by a long break. The long break wouldn't have been an issue had those eps been good. Heroes was well loved, until people had time to discuss that bad S1 finale. Following it with a short season that didn't really go anywhere just multiplied that effect. If Kring is clever enough to realize this, then we should be in for a good start next fall. Otherwise, I'll have to stop giving that show the benefit of the doubt.
slkboxrman, I would classify Chuck as quality by Big Jim	Feb 15th, 2008 12:32:37 PM
programming over shows like American Gladiators or Celebrity Apprentice. I don't know what you expected from Chuck, maybe you were hoping for Bourne: The Series? For me it was exactly what I thought it would be: light and cartoonish. Certainly not the best new show but certainly not the worst either. "...im really not sure how anyone can get thru one whole episode without cuttin their wrists or strangling themselves with a plastic bag. .." I take it, since you are still with us, you never did watch an entire episode. I have to disagree with you. Not a perfect show by any means, but much better than you would have us believe. But then again, you thought Bionic Woman was getting better, while I thought it was getting worse. So obviously we see things differently.
What's good about chuck, journeyman and life by HarrysNemesis	Feb 18th, 2008 10:10:56 AM
Is that they all have quality character development. Chuck's characters are more vivid, vibrant and energetic. Journeyman's so morose and worrying. Life's characters are all mysteries and paradoxes. All 3 are procedurals but with strong character driven story arcs. It's kind of a 'what flavor fits your personality' sort of thing. I think of the 3, Journeyman got cancelled because it had the least potential (at least in exec eyes) to grow the audience beyond the hardcore fanbase. Look at it this way tho... at least it got cancelled before it started going downhill and the networks had a chance to totally fuck it up by 'trying to make it more interesting.'
FNL & Reaper by My Pretty Pony	Feb 19th, 2008 05:34:21 PM
It would be a big mistake for NBC to cancel "Friday Night Lights". It's the best drama they have, and I hear it's inexpensive to make and very efficiently run. What they should do is actually promote the show and promote it well. As for "Reaper", The CW did order more episodes for this season. Therefore, it's still being considered for renewal.
The kid from Reaper should be Spider-Man by TruPhan	Feb 20th, 2008 12:56:43 PM
That's all I think when I see him.
