Mid-Season Shows 2010

Oh yeah! The New Year holds many a new show trying to break the mold of tried and true. Personally I'm looking forward to the debut of "V" . In the vein of comic book heroes January on FOX will bring Human Target starring Mark Valley, Chi McBride and Jackie Earle Haley. Based on the DC comic character Christopher Chance (Mark Valley) and helmed by MCG of Chuck fame. Action packed adventure. Bear McCreary scores the pilot episode, he's the guy behind the awesome music from Battlestar Galactica and Sarah Connor Chronicles. This is the music for Caprica which he is also did. If you haven't seen Caprica I highly recommend it. You can watch a trailer for the series pilot Danny Glover is a special guest and BSG's Number 6 is also in Human Target. This is a redo of the ABC 1992 series starring Rick Springfield! LOL that's the comic book connection. Fringe has a comic out as well.

Another comic book series in the works for 2010 is The Walking Dead, executive produced by David Alpert and produced, written and directed by Frank Darabont (the genius behind The Green Mile). HBO has Treme, about New Orleans musicians, not sure where the story will go with this one but it's being helmed by David Simon and Eric Overmyer of Homicde: Life on the Streets. And of course the prequel to Battlestar Galactica, Caprica starts in 2010.

Another new show (British) is Murderland with Robbie Coltrane and it's very very good. I'm really loving Flashforward, it's right up my alley. Fringe continues to amaze me, can't wait for J.J.'s new project in 2010. So what shows have blown you away or disappointed you, post a comment.
