Fall Review 2007

So I have picked up a couple new favorite shows this fall, but I'm not sure if I will keep them all.

Some definite keepers are:
Michelle Ryan plays Jaime Sommers, a young woman who is thrown into a life of being a special agent of a private security firm while trying to take care of her troubled sister, Becca (Lucy Hale). She was monitored by whom she thought was her fiance and after a major accident created by Sarah Corvus (Katie Sackhoff, Starbuck of Battlestar Galactica), the original Bionic Woman, she was made into the new Bionic Woman.

I love this show. I was not sure at first because remakes of shows usually doesn't go well, but this one along with Battlestar Galactica is going very well. I definitely recommend anyone check it out. Go to nbc.com to see full episodes.


Another show I like is:
Charlie Crews (Damian Lewis) is a cop who became an convict of 20 years is cleared due to a mishap in the trial. As a settlement for wrongful imprisonment the city gives him several million dollars back and per Crews' request, returned to the force. He is an exceptional detective and a keen eye for detail, but also hold a strong eccentric side. He hires Ted Earley (Adam Arkin), who was also in prison for embezzlement/money laundering, to manage his finances. Go figure. While working on the various cases from his precinct he is secretly working on his own case to figure out what happened with the bank robbery that cause him to go to prison.

Charlie Crews reminds me of Detective Goren of Law And Order: Criminal Intent. Brilliant and Very Weird. This is a good show to at least check out. Episodes are also available on NBC.com.


From the makers of Men In Black, Barry Sonnenfield & Bryan Fuller brings a show about Ned (Lee Pace), humble pie maker, who has a very special, he can resurrect and dead person, but they can only be alive for one minute for if that minute passes someone else must die, usually someone in close proximity. Now the one who is resurrected and not put back to rest is still not safe for Ned cannot touch them again for the will die. Only two important things in Ned's life has to suffer this, his dog and his childhood friend, Chuck (Anna Friel), who he is falling in love with.
I love this show because of it's dark tone with dry and weird comedy. Emerson Cod (Chi McBride) and Lily Charles (Swoosie Kurtz) are my favorite characters on the show. The rest of the cast includes; Ellen Greene, Kristin Chenoweth, Field Cate, Sy Richardson, and Sammy Hanratty.

Definitely worth seeing.
