Reminders and Reviews

[Reginald McGraw]

Yes, I'm dumb and thought this was the house thread.

Tonight is NCIS, and NCIS: Ripoff, and Slater's new crime-drama from Bruckheimer's production company, The Forgotten. 

I'm heavily addicted to stupid NCIS, but I hated the spinoff "episode zero" last season.  Just no chemistry at all.  But...I'll give it a try.

Meanwhile, I know nothing about Slater's show, and have heard nothing, but whatever.

Tonight is Eastwick, which I'll give a chance.  Also, ER clone Mercy, which I'm watching because it has Michelle Tractenberg.

Also, 2009 pilot reviews roundup:

NCIS, season 7:  Sucks.

NCIS: LA: Sucks!

House, season six: Terrific.

Castle:  More of the same (and fun).

HIMYM: More of the same (and fun).

Flash Forward:  I'm going to say it sucks, but I'll give it one more episode.

Californication, season 3:  More of the same (and fun).

House was just fantastic. I'm so pumped for the season.

Tonight is the official premiere of Flash Forward, and The Mentalist, season two.  I think I'll give The Mentalist a second chance.  I think it went to hell about halfway through the first season and never really recovered.  So it gets one chance with the season two opener.

The Mid-Season Olympics!

Survivors on the 12th of January.  (And on BBC America the 13th of Feb)

Burn Notice on the 21st of January.

Caprica (groan) on the 22nd.

Spartacus is also on the 22nd.  It "picks up where the movie left off."  So an entire series told from the POV of a crucified man along the road.

(Actually, we don't know what happened to Spartacus.  He was probably tumbled into a mass grave with a few thousand other rebels.)

Psych on the 27th.

Lost on the 2nd of February!
