Jericho (New TV Show) - ComicCon Review (Spoilers)

[MojoGM]

I take it you must have liked the recently axed Smith (on CBS) and the Happy Hour sitcom (on FOX), yes?



Smith, like NBC's The Heist (starring a blondish Dougray Scott), didn't take for me. I'd rather watch Boston Legal (although never did like the newcomer Craig Bierko's characters; too much like James Spader's character and I can only handle one of them in one show).

Nothing so recent. I'm still mourning the loss of Brisco County Jr. And Strange Luck. And The Invisible Man. And John Doe. Etc...

But I hope Jericho lasts. I want to see what happens...

If Jericho gets picked up, I'll be 2 for 2 on the new shows I have decided to watch. Heros and Jericho are both very good so far, though Heros is really high on the icky factor.

I've watched all of it so far... reminds me of Lost, where you have an isolated group of people in a mysterious situation that is getting resolved little by little.. and, you can watch Jericho, switch channels when it's over, and watch Lost.... Wednsday night is pretty good TV.....

I should be taping Jericho because it is a good show at 7pm but my guilty pleasure won out (for Dancing with the Stars result show).

Was hoping they re-air it on Saturday, but CBS did not the past weekend.

[Yes, you can file this as "utterly disturbing."]

I'm not sure what the appeal to watching Jerry Springer prance around a dancefloor is

Who says I'm watching Jerry Springer?

Last I heard, the CBS show and NBC's Heroes got a full-season pickup by their respective networks.

I think this was my last episode. The whole built-up drama about who will live, the baby or the dude, it was just too blatant an attempt to force suspense. Yes, I want to know what happens to everyone, but not well enough to keep slogging through it.

You want them to start dropping like flies?

The fourth episode shows we're just on Day 4. Go watch Kidnapped.

Odd. I didn't see that as a drama point. I think it was pretty well telegraphed from the start that the radiation victim was going to die and it never really tried to project much of a threat to the baby other than the power going out (and they just used the manual respirator). I think the bit at the end when he does die is where the real drama was.

I'm not sure if we were supposed to take the teacher flipping out about static from a metal feul container serious or not. I thought it was rather funny myself (I remember when gas cans were made of metal).

I am tired of the teenage angst subplot, but at least that doesn't take up much of the episodes.
