Even the "best" really aren't appealing to me:

There are like 50,000 new legal dramas and cop shows this fall. AUTOMATIC PASS. Are there any new sci-fi-ish shows coming up? That don't involve vampires? Anything else that looks interesting?

I think I'm getting more and more fussy.

THIS.

It looks like a TV desert this fall.

[captaintish]

Wasn't there supposed to be one called Terra Nova, that involved time travel? I was thinking of going to the panel at Comic Con, but it got cancelled, which isn't promising.

*googles it*

Looks like it got pushed back a year.

Aw, darn.

Basically I'm waiting for Doctor Who and Primeval. So, basically I'm relying almost entirely on British TV.

Hey, when does Torchwood start up again?

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

I think that Torchwood starts filming early 2011. No idea what that translates to for airing though. Fall 2011?

[captaintish]

Argh, that's too long...

[earenwe.livejournal.com]

Ooh, that sounds great, but I'm a bit leery of anything Braga touches, so the jury's out on that one. And Fox + anything sci-fi = always on the verge of cancellation a la Firefly and Dollhouse

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

*nods* I'm always warry of Fox shows just because they love to axe them so quickly.

There's one I think it's called No Ordinary Family

From Wiki

The show centers on the Powell family, a typical American family, whose members gain special abilities after their plane crash lands into the Amazon River.

That's kind of a sci-fi show.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Hmm. That might be interesting.

[captaintish]

The problem with this is the premise makes me think of The Incredibles.

[bittybye2000.livejournal.com]

I love the Incredibles, I'm afraid it will be more like the Fantastic 4.

[captaintish]

The Incredibles wasn't one of my favorite Pixar movies.

I'll probably give the show a chance -- watch a couple episodes and see how it is.

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

That's the first thing I thought of too. :D

[captaintish]

Ah, you know what they say -- Great minds think alike. :D

[pixiesio.livejournal.com]

Well, considering there's so little originality left in Hollywood, your fussiness is understandable. *joins you on the fussy couch*

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Seems like most everything is either a reality show, a remake, or a clone.

God, yes, please. ANYTHING.

UGH.

Man too bad David Tennant With A Chicago Accent got cancelled. :p

[ginamak.livejournal.com]

That accent was something, all right, but it sure as hell wasn't a Chicago one. XD

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

It would have gotten lost in the shuffle anyway. WAY too many new legal shows this year.

[nel-ani.livejournal.com]

While I do watch some legalish shows (NCIS, Psych, occasionally White Collar), I know what you mean. The sheer numbers of CSIs boggles my mind. I mean, surely one is enough?

I miss the Stargates. :( Have you seen Stargate Universe? I haven't dared give it a chance.

More than enough for me. :D

I watched about 10 minutes of the first episode and wandered off. It was taking itself way too seriously.

1) I find your subject line disturbing

2) I feel compelled to tell you that I don't think tongue kissing your Roku sounds like a good idea since spit + electronic devices = Bad Combination

3) I shall go and actually read the post now...

[mrv3000.livejournal.com]

Why are you judging my love affair with my Roku??

[diavestra.livejournal.com]

Because he's cheating on you with thousands of others! Including *me*!
