Better than mint chocolate chip and fresh crisp apples off the tree, it’s the return of the FALL TV SEASON! Horah! Hoorey! YIPPEE!
So here are some recaps, since this is only the opening week of new shows (many, including Gossip Girl, are still on my TiVo…what? It’s been a long week!)
FRINGE (Tuesday, 8pm, FOX)
Oh, to be in the head of J. J. Abrams…perhaps not a good thing. Before he brings us “Star Trek:2009” without William Shatner, he whipped up an hour-long serial that I am calling creepy, yet intriguing…short attention spans need not apply. There is no other way to describe it except to say it is: “X-files meets The Twilight Zone, topped with a little 24 action and CSI forensics and sprinkled with a bit of Twin Peaks on top.” It’s one messed-up, intriguing, could only be classified as “that show that the guy who co-created Lost and Alias could cook up…..
WATCH IT, if only to feel like you’ve watched something of substance…even if you don’t understand it…
ANTM (Wednesday, 8pm, The CW)
Mix a trans-gender with a racist from Alaska (enter political joke here) mixed with an Asian girl with a gangsta’ complex, and you have season 11 of America’s Next Top Model. Reality show formatting at its very best.
DVR IT so you can fast-forward through the hair-pulling, sobbing-because-“like, modeling’s so much harder than I thought” montages.
BONES (Wednesday, 7pm, FOX)
Oh Brennan and Booth. The longer you two don’t sleep with each other, the better for all of us. Mix a little England (oh, how I love thee) with a little Brennan/Booth tension…add a little Angela’s ex-husband return with a little trust issue plot twist, and sprinkle a little English accents in there, and you get a fun-loving (if not quite long) 2- hour season premiere of love, loss and lust (p.s.–does everyone sleep with a co-worker on this show?! Seriously…)
WATCH IT if only for the Brennan/Booth verbal spars…and no, you won’t miss Zak…I promise…
That’s all for now folks. Lots of new shows next week so I must clear my DVR from last week. I know it’s been a while, but I’ve been anti-social (which, apparently, meant I was anti-blog too…) I know you’ve missed me, so I’m back. Ready to spew more poetics and life contemplations (let’s call them observations, shall we?) for you.
