Haven't posted anything here in months, though I've checked in regularly, just didn't have anything to write about. At this point we're almost into September and the next TV season. Last year I was all fired up about Moonlight starting - a new vampire show! And it didn't disappoint - at least not to me. There were opportunities to improve, but the cast and stories and intrigues were really coming together, until the strike messed everything up and then CBS decided to pull the plug. Still can't believe that one, when it was all positives from them up till they gave it the ax. That just took the heart out of me - not only Moonlight, but New Amsterdam gone too, And Blood Ties, as well as others. These genre shows just have a really tough time catching on and it can be really frustrating for those of us who love them.
This summer I started back in with The Closer and Eureka, sad that 4400 isn't with us this year. I've also discovered the Middleman, which has been a realy hoot. And a couple of weeks ago BBC America started in with Primeval, which I've really enjoyed so far. Not bad summer fare at all, but now its time for the new "regular" season to get ready to kick off, and I can't tell you one show that I'm really looking forward to getting to know. There are a number of returning shows I'll probably still watch (love my crime procedurals). I'll check out True Blood, because its of that genre - but some of the advance word hasn't been too encouraging. I read the first book and it was ok, but I didn't get any of the rest of them. I guess I'll wait and see if the TV show catches me up in the stories. Maybe it'll surprise me and I will really enjoy it. I'll keep open mind and see what happens - maybe something wonderful will sneak its way into our hearts and fill some of the space that Moonlight left behind.
Here's to a new season everyone - and hope that a gem will reveal itself to us!
