2007 TV Fall Season Premiers Part 3
Here's the last of my Season Premier reviews.
Samantha Who * * * *
Monday, 9:30 p.m., EST, ABC
You know, I had this on my "new shows" list to check out but I had decided to blow it off. I have a whole list of shows to watch and I don't really need another one. To kill some time this weekend, though, I popped this on and was so surprised.
Christina Applegate plays Samantha who has amnesia about her life prior to a suspicious car accident that puts her into a coma. She doesn't know her parents, her friends, or her lovers. Apparently she was a very mean person and now she has a chance to change all of that. Applegate is extremely funny as is Jean Smart (Designing Women) who plays her mother. I love to laugh so this goes on my "must see" list.
The Unit * * *
Tuesday, 9:00 p.m., EST, CBS
I don't know of anyone who watches this show but it's great. I was pleasantly surprised that it got renewed. If you've never caught it you should give it a try. The entire cast is superlative and the stories are all about heroes and their wives. It's the best story in the world - white hats win.
Supernatural ???
Thursday, 9:00 p.m. EST, CW
We didn't catch the premier. This is one we watch online and they just got the episodes uploaded (2 weeks into the season). I did catch the first 15 minutes of last nights episode. At least last night, they appear to be more gory and shocking. I hope that's not going to be a theme. Their stories have been good enough without becoming simply gore driven. Of course, I'm not their demographic.
UPDATES
Back to You * * *
Wednesday, 8:00 p.m. EST, FOX
I knocked one star off of my original review. As I feared, each episode is playing mostly on the storyline of the love child of Heaton and Grammer's characters which I find a total bore. There was a scene in the last episode with Ty Burrell who plays roving reporter, Gary Crezyzewski, that was hysterical! The supporting cast may get all the laughs in this series while the equally funny leads get the yawns.
Chuck *
Monday, 8:00 p.m. EST, NBC
This show has taken a nose dive! With so much potential in story they seem only occupied with showing curvaceous secret agents beating up the likes of Adam Baldwin (pl-ease) and appearing at least once per episode in their underwear.
The Big Bang Theory * * * *
Monday, 8:30 p.m. EST, CBS
Holding steady. My money is on this new series! Sweet and funny.
Heroes * * *
Monday, 9:00 p.m. EST, NBC
Heroes has improved from its limp premier but if it doesn't payoff I can say last season was great and leave it at that. Come on! Make me care.
Ugly Betty * * * *
Thursday, 8:00 p.m. EST, ABC
This show is doing a much better job the second time around than Heroes. Lots of drama and every episode leaves my jaw dropped. What fun!
Samantha Who * * * *
