TV ROUND-UP: NBC & CBS

Jericho (CBS Wednesday, 8PM)

Maybe HBO has spoiled me, but sometimes Jericho is hard to watch. If it were the down-home family drama it seems, Jericho would require little more than we get here...but once the atomic bombs drop, the CBSness of this show starts to hurt. The explosions themselves look great--few sights are more terrifying than ( Read more... )

i watched jericho and thought it was ok. i'm kinda on the fence about it right now.
i haven't watch kidnapped yet so i didn't read your review.

Jericho needs a lot better writing. It makes me sad...you'd think anyone who could come up with a great premise could also write the show effectively, but...

but the premise isn't new. that's the other thing that kinda bugs me. it has been done. the only thing that will be different is whose writing it.

I don't recall any time it has been done in this way...

"Earl" - watched a couple of times last season. fairly good show, but not my cup to tea. (Actually, a bad phrase to use. I hate any kind of tea.)

"The Office" - again, I watched a couple of episodes but didn't really care for it.

"Deal" - I hate the show. They pick absurd caricatures of people as contestants, and then drag things out waaaaay too long. There's not rocket science needed to pick a random number, so why agonize over it? My brother, however, loves the show. primarily because he enjoys shouting at the people outloud about how stupid, ignorant, greedy, etc. they are.

"Criminal Minds" & "Smith" - haven't watched, won't watch.

"Jericho" & "Kidnapped" - still on the DVR waiting to watch. I got sidetacked by way too many good college and NFL football games this weekend, and had too many shows recorded from last week to be able to catch up with them all.

"The Class" - I did finally watch the first episode. I probably liked it a little bit more than you did. Very uneven at this point, but interesting enough that I will give ( ... )

Yeah I've been sort of just randomly watching most shows this past week, even if they don't interest me. I don't usually watch TV so most of them I won't see again. And I haven't been home the past 4 days to be able to watch anything.
