So far it's been a pretty good fall season for new TV shows, and the main ones that I've been sticking with are Pushing Daisies, Reaper and Journeyman. I'll be writing about all those in detail later.Other new shows which seem to have attracted interest are Gossip Girl, a soap which I haven't seen based on the fact that it's been compared to The O.C. (and also because it's a soap), but apparently it's quite good if you like that sort of thing. You've probably also heard about Chuck, a new comedy about a guy who gets a government database downloaded into his brain.
Our critically-praised new legal/crime/medical dramas are Damages (high-stakes litigation made exciting), Dirty Sexy Money (drama about the personal lawyer of a powerful, wealthy family headed by Donald Sutherland) and Life (slightly pretentious character drama about a philosophical cop). There's also Private Practice, a Grey's Anatomy spin-off which has generally recieved pretty bad reviews.
And with every new fall season of course comes a torrent of crappy new sci-fi/supernatural shows which proceed to make a mockery of the genre. The worst offender so far has been the sci-fi channel's new take on Flash Gordon, but we've also got Moonlight and The Bionic Woman to choose from this year round. Huzzah!
