Winter TV Preview


Archer

What It Is- An animated spy series? Really? FX passed on over 30 pilots for an animated spy series?

Should You Watch?- If you like total bullshit. I'm not saying this show won't be without it's witty moments, but you really shouldn't spend your time on it. It's doubtful this will turn into a "Family Guy."



Human Target

What It Is- "That guy" is a bodyguard who acts as a human shield for his clients.

Should You Watch?- Probably not. While I'm not interested in the premise at all, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley make a pretty solid cast. We just wish it was part of a different show. We're likely not tuning in.



Life Unexpected

What It Is- A drama about about a girl who emancipates herself from her foster parents to find her real parents who gave her up for adoption in high school.

Should You Watch?- At first it sounds a little sappy, but we're hearing good things. People are saying it's in the vein of classic WB shows like Everwood and Gilmore Girls. If it's anything like those, it's definitely worth checking out. Plus we've been waiting for Shiri Appleby to get some work since Roswell.



The Deep End

What It Is- Grey's Anatomy with lawyers.

Should You Watch?- Maybe. Not very original and it's hard to invest in a courtroom drama that's likely to loose it's steam after a few seasons. But we like the cast and we love Tina Majorino.



Caprica

What It Is- A prequel to Battlestar Gallactica set on Caprica long before the first cylons were made.

Should You Watch?- Fuck yes. Even though the first sneak peek seemed a little slow moving. If it's anything like BSG, we're definitely watching.




Kell On Earth

What It Is- A reality show that follows The City's Kelly Cutrone as she does her job at People's Revolution.

Should You Watch?- Yes, if you like guilty pleasure TV, which is basically all Bravo is. We've always wished while watching The City that Kelly would eventually get her own show. Wish granted...finally. This bitch is bound to be entertaining. The new Blowout perhaps?




Past Life

What It Is- A team of whatever "investigates" people's past lives...seriously.

Should You Watch?- Not a fucking chance. Stay away please. 




Undercover Boss

What It Is- CEO's of companies mingle with the "lowly's" in their companies to see what's up and find what it's like for them.

Should You Watch?- All that is wrong with TV? Anyone?




Parenthood

What It Is- We're guessing it's like Modern Family but as an hour long drama.

Should You Watch?- Yes. You really should. It looks interesting and has a great cast including Six Feet Under's Peter Krause, Gilmore Girls' Lauren Graham, and Craig T Nelson. 




The Marriage Ref

What It Is- Jerry Seinfeld produced reality shit about famous people judging real-life couple disputes.

Should You Watch?- No. We've always welcomed the idea of Jerry Seinfeld returning to TV, but not as reality trash.

  1. What's a shame is that Archer commercials look like it would be somewhat of a good show if it was live action. But stupid bitches needed to animate it.

    And I LOVE Tina M.
