Fall 2007 TV Watch List - Part 2
New shows on The Watch List
Reaper - [Comedy][Anticipation Level 6] Sam’s parents sold his soul to the Devil and now he must do the Devil’s work by capturing souls who have escaped from the underworld. Normally that description wouldn’t make me interested at all but this one has a few things going for it. Ray Wise looks like he’s got the Devil role down perfectly and from the trailers I can’t imagine someone else in this part - I guess Elizabeth Hurley was booked. Reaper is being described as part comedy, drama, horror, and action, making it somewhat unique on TV.
Bionic Woman - [Drama][Anticipation Level 9] Theres less cheese and more drama in this new version of Bionic Woman then in the old 70s version. Executive producer Glen Morgan describes it like this, “It’s a science-fiction story about someone who became half robot when they didn’t want to be.” I think I’ll go check all the boxes in my Watch List requirements section then sit back and enjoy. I hope this one’s good.
Spoiler warning - this preview gives away quite a few plot points in the pilot
Kid Nation - [reality][anticipation level 3] - Basically survivor in New Mexico with kids age 8-15. The first episode didn’t really grab me and I wasn’t too high on this to start with.
30 Rock - Not a new show but new to me since I never saw an episode last year. Lots of good press and tons of awards have raised my interest level from non-existant to lukewarm. I’ll watch the season 2 opener and decide after that.
