My pal Josh Siegel and I will buy Modern Family and turn it into a sitcom about a Depression era Jewish family that has a young prodigy that creates the superhero genre!
Ps - it'll maintain a certain amount of adorable gay shenanigans as Josh seems to really like these.'

666 Park Avenue was better than I thought it would be. I was expecting it would be ABC trying to hard to have a 'sexy show' (and there was still some of that), but was delighted to see a very strong horror element present throughout.
It was good enough to watch a few more episodes for sure. To be fair though, it wasn't anything spectacular--nowhere near as good or scary as American Horror Story. I guess it's that intangible "network cheesiness factor" that is hard for me to get over that krept up in spots.
Great to see Terry O'Quinn though.

I watched Elementary, I think the "I have issues" so I'm a complex character may drop off as the series continues out of pilot territory and hopefully it will be a mystery series rather than so much ... "I'm a genius ... I'm crazy and Peculiar ... I've got a dark past so I'm interesting!!!"
Anyway, I already like it better than the British one, at least this one offers a new take on Sherlock Holmes ... if a bit too many new takes haha.
Besides that guy that plays Sherlock on the British Sherlock Holmes gives me the creeps.
so in conclusion:
Lucy Lu + views of Manhattan = Peebz will be watching this.

I am looking forward to this ... I am somewhat hoping it will be cheesy and run with it. for entertainment value.

Hmm... I didn't like Elementary at all. Honestly, it seemed to me they should've just made a completely new character with a few homages to Sherlock Holmes, because it really seemed to have almost nothing to do with Conan Doyle's stories.
Haven't watched 666 Park Avenue yet, but my expectations are pretty low.
I'm enjoying the second season of Grimm. It strikes me as the kind of show I would've absolutely loved when I was about twelve or so.

I watched Grimm for almost all of season one and then gave up, I think the first few episodes with the evil conspiracy plot were the best ... and then the rest of season became a "Buffy Light" where the main character solves done in one problems. I am curious about season two though, from the advertisements it looks like its going to have more action.
I love that nerdy Werewolf guy!!! Even the main character and his GF are likeable, However I think the majority of the rest of the cast suffers from ... bad acting.

This season's been pretty heavy on the "conspiracy stuff", so you might enjoy it more.
The biggest problem I have with the show, as I think I've said before on this thread, is that the whole "underground creature community" doesn't make a whole lot of sense when it seems like half the people around are part of this community.

... what are great deal! I wish someone would make my dreams come true for some measly bloodshed and amorality!!!!
Great huge New York apartment (furnished no less), cute socially responsible lawyer golfing boyfriend! I want to be this plucky handy woman blonde lady ... "I will get this job at the last minute by wowing them with my architectural knowledge!"
I have architectural knowledge too!
*sigh*
anyway, VANESSA WILLIAMS! Seems like she's EVIL!!! and that creepy guy from Lost!!!
also, I think that bellhop is the malucci guy from ER.
It's an all star cast!
Click Here For A Spoiler wait ... as I type ... Vanessa Williams is taking that blonde chick on a shopping spree. McQueen She buys her a frickin MCQueen. Of course this down home girl is going to look fantastic in it ... 'cause she is the building repair woman by day and a super model by night.
Its not a scary show ... its a wish fulfillment show ... like a Disney princess movie.
Yes, it is SUPER cheesy but I am in for a few more at least! It may be my new favorite show.

666 Park Avenue just fell kind of flat for me. Not bad or anything, but just not enough there really to hold my interest.
Meanwhile, Revolution added another Lost alumnus to its cast last night. I really like the setup of the show, but the characters just aren't really doing much for me, yet.

Revolution is a pretty good sci-fi type show. But this is the one that really has the "cheesiness" problem that I reference above. There are some really good moments so far (the lead character Charlie killing the warden in the latest episode at the end) but every episode is jam-packed with cliches, weak over-acting, lame coincidences and unbelievable dialogue. This show is rife with potential...but it really needs to get over these problems for me to take it seriously. And the nerdy millionaire character with the glasses? C'mon. Dial down the cliche-ness PLEASE.
I also thought that, and similarly that it was a copy and paste of a lot of other *big hits* in popular media right now. <says dryly> The Hunger games ... + A little Walking Dead and/or Falling Skies + Outcasts ... etc. etc. etc.
Also, they had that weird 30 minute long fight scene ... where the one guy basically kills and army with ninja moves. was a bit ludicrous.
I couldn't handle Mob Doctor myself ... she was too *sassy* and the premise was too *edgy* .... which apparently the networks think is really appealing. what do I know though, they're making the millions off these shows ...
anyway, the whole, I'm gonna do something radical while everyone is arguing with me, and I save this man's life on the operating table ... turned me off.
I did try (don't laugh) Call the Midwife ... its a BBC America show ... and it was actually really good, a tear jerker and up there with the cheese but ti really pulled me in, the finale of the episode had me really sucked into it emotionally. In fact, I think it portrays what it is like to be poor or live in slums in an accuracy that is rarely seen.
I haven't tried Last Resort yet, or Mindy ... i heard it was funny but the quality probably won't last ..
I haven't tried Vegas yet either, I have been just too cynical and imagine its a Boardwalk Empire/Deadwood/ Etc. knockoff.
In fact, I loved Deadwood BUT it's totally not like something I would like, the acting really took it out of its been done grim and gritty set up.
