Kyle XY

It's on ABC Family, not the stellar channel for this sort of thing. It just started and beguins very similiar to John Doe. Though the voice over seems to indicate a possible ecology like message.

The first episode was great and I will be watching future episodes.

It was pretty good. The usualy teen cliches are a bit old but there seems to be enough meat to make it interesting.

I agree. It was interesting, despite the fact that it seemed very 'John Doe' (with a touch of 'Smallville' and for taste).

I am curious as to where its going to go, and how it is going to get there.

I found it ironic that the guy in the truck was one of the better villains of the X-Files series.

The writeups make it sound pretty interesting; I'll have to check it out.

Another fairly good episode. It is good to see the Kyle Character grow and learn. I think they do that better then John Doe ever did. It is nice to see him slowly building relationships with the family and friends.

The reveal at the end was okay, and frankly I'm not expecting this show to be fiendishly clever with the twists.

So is this dude like Adam? You know, Adam & Eve. For all you Old Testament fans out there. Can I get a what what!?

It's a decent show. The voice-over is interesting, but a tad bland sounding. If you haven't seen the first couple of episodes go here and take a gander at em. Each episode has 3 commercial breaks (for Sour Patch):

Also, the episode from yesterday isn't up until saturday.

Just saw the pilot episode. I thought it was quite good; I have everything up to the most recent saved on TiVo so I need to sit down and have a Kyle marathon soon.

The show reminds me of a few things. It's Wonder Years meets John Doe with a little X-Files thrown in (and no not because Krycek is in it!!). So far it's very entertaining and ABC family seemingly is working on a line-up of sci-fi/ fantasy shows. There's some witch show they were advertising for as well and then there's the "Fallen" movie that was okay and will have another mini-series for it next year (although I had the feeling from the movie that it was gonna be an regular series).
