attack of the fall schedule!!

we started to try and watch a few of the new fall TV shows and i thought i'd jot down my thoughts on some of the ones i've seen so far...

x-tina applegate ("married...with children") and will arnett ("blades of glory")

 first up is the new baby-comedy on NBC called "up all night".  i thought it was a pretty good look into what the show will be mostly about, that being 2 former party people trying to cope with life after a new baby.  will arnett, christina applegate and mya rudolph star...and that's a pretty solid cast.  the first episode was kinda funny and i would like to see more from the show but i  don't think i'm gonna have to tune in every week to watch the exploits.  all in all, not a bad start.

hank azaria (voice of everyone on "the simpsons") and kathryn hahn ("crossing jordan")

 next up is "free agents".  this show is one that i had NEVER heard of.  not a peep anywhere.  i had no idea it existed.  it is also the one that surprised me the most.  it was funny and hank azaria is really funny...i've always liked him.  the other surprise is that their boss is GILES from buffy!!  

kat dennings ("house bunny") and beth behrs (nothing really...)

and now the last comedy on this list: "2 broke girls".  kat dennings and some girl from one of the american pie straight-to-DVD flicks star and it's pretty entertaining.  i won't watch every week...but i'll tune in to see what's up.

maria bello ("coyote ugly")

 now for the meat and potatoes part of the list.  the much hyped "prime suspect" is not your typical cop procedural drama.  it's more of a character piece centering on a female cop trying to make it in an all male precinct that are under the impression she slept her way to the top.  things get worse for her when she asks for a recently deceased detectives case.  needless to say, she ain't that popular.  it's not a bad show...but i just didn't fee compelled to come back to the next episode.

jesus christ (jim caviezel) and creepy ben linus (michael emersom)

 and finally, "person of interest"...another show i heard almost nothing about which is odd considering that it's created by johnathon nolan (brother of chris nolan and co-writer of "the dark knight") and executive produced by j.j. abrams.  i'll start off by saying that it's an interesting premise that i kinda boil down to this:  it's sorta "early edition" meets "the equalizer".  ben linus from lost and jesus christ team up to prevent people from violent crime before it happens via a machine that ben (mr. finch) created after 9/11.  it's a complicated idea but basically the machine asses risks that could take out large groups of people that they government can then try to stop.  but it also asses risks of posed to individuals, however; the machine deletes the list of indiviuals at midnight every night.  dr. finch , who no longer works for the government, didn't like this so he had the list sent to him.  jesus, mr. reece, is former military presumed dead that mr. finch convinces that his life needs direction.  so, mr. reece decides to take on the job and save people.  it wasn't a bad show despite the complicated plot and i'll definitely try and what it again.
