TV bits: The Tally pt.2
Ack. I only have so much number of hours alloted for my watching frenzy. Alas, it seems that I have gained a number of shows to watch this fall. I wonder how many will be dropped by the end of the next month.
Here are the series I’m regularly watching (so far). Ranked not in particular order.
1. Heroes. Well, yeah. That’s a given. And contrary to my Heroes posts, it’s not just because of the HoYay! and fanservice. I do like the current mysteries and plots too.
2. Ugly Betty. Two words. Fa-boo.
3. Pushing Daisies. THIS IS FRAKKIN’ AMAZING!! Hands down the best show of the season. It is smart, funny, witty, and ever-so original. And the topper: It is visually stunning. I felt as if I were watching film when I watched pilot.
4. Dirty, Sexy, Money. I did not expect much for Dirty Sexy Money. But it transformed tabloid/sensationalist sensibilities into a smart and sophisticated script.
5. Chuck. Tight script. Seriously entertaining. It is like a better version of Jake 2.0 (a series I enjoyed watching). The casting director should be given props for finding the actors. The chemistry is perfect. To be honest, I was worried about McG being associated with this series. His direction is not much of a selling point. And as much as I am liking the show, the editing director needs to tone down the distracting fast cuts.
6. Reaper. A mellow(er?) version of Chuck, it seems. It is good ‘ole fun. And I love how The Devil is portrayed.
Hm. Which series will remain next month??
