Whatever kind of show it becomes, it will definitely have at least one foot firmly planted in the world of CBS procedurals, and those kinds of shows are difficult to blog (heck, I have a hard time coming up with things to say about this show on my blog, and I only need a paragraph or two, not a full post). <br /><br />PS As a big <i>Deadwood</i> fan and a HUGE American West history nerd, I'm terribly excited about <i>Hell on Wheels</i>.Austin Gortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14281239771248780430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-59066345825741522172011-10-18T15:57:45.818-04:002011-10-18T15:57:45.818-04:00Because of time conflicts away from the TV, I'...Because of time conflicts away from the TV, I've only been able to see the the whole Pilot and snatches of the others, it's a bummer to hear this.<br /><br />Grimm sounds intresting, and if it gets shown on Sundays that will be better for me, but it will highly unlikley take me away from one of the 3 shows I Will Not miss, Supernatural.

The ...I am feeling about the same as everyone else. The pilot had me feeling enthusiastic and hopeful. Now, I am feeling a sense of dread that this show is just too episodic for my tastes, so I won't be able to hang in there for too much longer. So far this season has proven to me yet again that if I watch a new series one of two things is bound to happen; I will fall in love with it only to watch it be canceled after several episodes (My So Called Life and Freaks and Geeks; yes, showing my age) or I will be sorely disappointed in my picks for a new season of viewing (Ringer and Person Of Interest, so far this season). Hence, I rarely invest in a new show these days; I just wait to hear from blogs like yours, Nikki, to see which show makes for a good investment of time and obtain it on DVD or via streaming.<br /><br />By the way, I was fortunate to find out from my brother, a reliable source on TV, that Lost was awesome after it had only been on the air for about three episodes. I jumped on the bandwagon and watched it straight through from that point forward including the reruns of the early ones I missed. It hooded me immediately; Person of Interest is not even in the same league as Lost, IMHO.Suzannenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-4183044441015487112011-10-18T12:15:34.632-04:002011-10-18T12:15:34.632-04:00Count me among the unenthusiastic.

And right now, the only reason I'm gonna stick for a little while longer is Michael Emerson and Jim Caviezel. Although I agree that Emerson's character has become a little too Benry for my liking.Lisa(until further notice)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-25756590554585176752011-10-17T22:51:04.810-04:002011-10-17T22:51:04.810-04:00This is the show I watch On Demand when I've f...This is the show I watch On Demand when I've finished watching everything else and I feel like watching TV.

I lean heavi...POI is take-it-or-leave-it TV for me. I lean heavily toward a more sci-fi/fantasy show for the most part, or at the very least, a shameless serial.<br /><br />I'm convinced that somebody got to JJ. Maybe compromising photos of Bad Robot or something. He built his reputation with "Alias" and "Lost", but since then has steadfastly refused to launch a full-fledged serial TV show. "Fringe" wasted a year and a half on magic dragons and big worms each week before capitulating and becoming at least a part time serial. <br /><br />Then, with "Undercovers", he sucked the life out of the spy genre that he himself perfected a decade earlier. <br /><br />Now, he's unleashed a case-o-the- week procedural in POI. Like "Fringe", it could morph into a serial/standalone hybrid (sometime in 2013?), but if that's the plan, WTF is he waiting for? <br /><br />And, like I mentioned a few weeks ago, missing from the usual JJ recipe is a nubile hottie. Surely Walter Bishop's fart jokes weren't enough to keep me interested until "Fringe" came to its serial senses after 30-odd episodes. Thank you Anna Torv. <br /><br />JJ makes a big deal out of talking about his Mystery Box every chance he gets, but surely the mystery with JJ these days is what happened to the mystery?<br /><br />I saw the "Homeland" pilot and can't wait to get caught up on the subsequent episodes. <br /><br />Of shows yet to air, "Once Upon a Time" is on my list for various reasons: "Lost" personnel, Jane Espenson, and Robert Carlyle chief among them.<br /><br />Further down the road, I'm looking forward to Kiefer and Gugu in FOX's <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvQ_qJYZ-7A" rel="nofollow">"Touch"</a> and ABC's international thriller, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GYNnvCb48bc" rel="nofollow">"Missing"</a> (which sounds a lot like Liam Neeson's "Taken" to me). I'm not sure I buy Ashley Judd as a kickass former CIA agent, but the show itself is <a href="http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/n.php?n=hollywood-production-sets-in-istanbul8217s-historic-venues-2011-10-04" rel="nofollow">filmed on location</a> in such far-flung places as Istanbul, Moscow and Berlin, which all sounds very inviting.Page48https://www.blogger.com/profile/09728079057077761364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-15671127808264424572011-10-17T21:41:36.776-04:002011-10-17T21:41:36.776-04:00I decided to stop watching with Mission Creep.

I don't even REMEMBER what happened in "Mission Creep." Was that the one where he joined the gang to keep an eye on their person? <br /><br />I enjoyed "Cura Te Ipsum," but again, it still hasn't been at the same level of awesomeness that Lost was at at episode four. <br /><br />Am I going to keep watching it? Most likely. I'm on the fence like Annie is. If it gets worse, I'll probably give up on it. <br /><br />If Terry O'Quinn guest stars on the show then that will make my life. Alan Dale is allegedly guest starring from what I've heard, which would be pretty awesome, too. <br /><br />Also, I have full intention on watching Once Upon a Time, and I may or may not blog about it.Gillian Whitfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08776289103891165089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30892649.post-56098386180583615822011-10-17T20:25:19.278-04:002011-10-17T20:25:19.278-04:00I just realized today that my DVR stopped recordin...I just realized today that my DVR stopped recording POI (I think I got confused and deleted it when I took off Prime Suspect).
