Some new shows

[Dreamor]

Posted this in another topic, but felt it was worth making its own post ...

Reaper - Feels a lot like the Film Bedazzled but a lot funnier, kid gets to work for the Devil as a Bounty hunter... lots of laughs along the way.

Pushing Daisies - A guy has the ability to bring people back from the dead, not sure how far the show can run for but the Pilot is good.

Chuck - Computer geek by day. Government operative by night...

Check those out

Here's my 20p's worth (it is 20p these days?)

Reaper - still downloading it. Although it look spretty cool... - I'm led to believe that Kevin Smith had some involvement in this. I've not researched that, so I don't know for sure. If he has, then it should have some standing anyway... The Smith is a god!

Pushing Daisies - Not too sure about this yet, it's kinda like Big Fish, in that there's a narrative running all the way though it, a couple of smiling (not quite funny) moments. I need a couple more episodes of this to see what happens...

Chuck - Watching right now, and I defintley want to see more, it's pretty cool. Some tech nerd gets a load of secret government secrets downloaded into his brain (kinda Johnny Nmonic style, or however it's spelt) and it's following his adventures from there.

A couple of otehrs thing I spent my day doing -

Sarah Connor Chronicles - Absolutely brilliant! This looks like it could go somewhere, it's Terminator the tv show!! And they've made a plausable plot line too! Well, plausable considering the universe they are in...

Bionic Woman - This also had a very good pilot. A few things have changed from the original, obviously, but they seem to have done it pretty well in my opinion. And the woman from Eastenders ain't too bad either.

Watched reaver just now. Brilliant Cant wait to see more, nice mix of reality,comedy and cool fantasy super power (but they are all sweet powers, none of this spiderman shit) stuff. some good actors in it too.

Kevin smith directed the pilot episode or reaper, according to wiki.

is he in for the whole series, or was it a "guest directorship" like when tarantino did CSI

Just watched it last night. Thought it was ok.

I didn't see any of these powers you speak of though. I only saw Telekenesis.

I watched Mad Men the other day (just the first ep), quite amusing how the 50's advertising jocks treated the girls. Reminded me of Barnsley males.

That looks quite good actually. Was thinking about downloading a couple.

Watched something called Damages yesterday because I thought my GF might enjoy it. It turned out to be one of the best pilot episodes I've seen in ages.

Don't watch it if you hate lawyer based thrillers . It is a bit more original than the majority though.

Yeah sorry I wasnt very clear: cool magic stuff (including powers). Like the dirt devil. How quality was that? Total ghostbusters rip off but still cool.

I watched Pushing Daisies and found it quite enjoyable. Interested to see where it goes on from the pilot.

Its got the feel of the Film "Amelie". It looks like they may have taken their inspiration from there...
