So if you are reading this then you know that I am a huge fan of sci-fiction and fantasy and I am always excited when a genre show like Lost and Heroes is successful. The problem is that Hollywood is notorious for trying to recreate successes by looking at the surface of show instead of what actually makes it good. What that means is that the 07-08 television series is going to be very heavy on genre shows.
NBC:
Bionic Woman - Remake of the original by 1/2 of the team that recreated Battlestar Galactica. Starbuck from Battlestar is the bad guy in the pilot.
Journeyman - A time travel show staring the Lucius Vorenus from Rome.
Chuck - A nerd gets a spy database downloaded into his head. The second clip is great, Chuck vs a Ninja. Clips were very funny.
Heroes: Origins - A Heroes spin-off that will air while Heroes is on Hiatus. It will be stand alone episodes with none of the main cast.
CBS:
Moonlight - Vampire detective. Link is just to schedule but you can click on the schedule to see a clip. Looks very soapy.
ABC:
Pushing Daisies - A detective that can bring the dead back to life. My favorite of all the clips I saw.
Eli Stone - An attorney that hallucinates. Ally McBeal but with a male lead? George Michael!?!?
Cavemen - Geico Cavemen in a half hour dramedy. May actual be able to talk about race issue without people getting fired.
New Amsterdam - An immortal cop in New York. The clips make this show look HORRIBLE.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Terminator spin-off. Can this really work as an on-going series?
The CW:
Reaper - A bounty hunter for the Devil. The pilot was directed by Kevin Smith.
