new midseason shows

[Temis the Vorta]

Roundup here, with premiere dates.

Plenty of reality TV shows for me to ignore, I see...

The Firm - I'll check it out, don't have high hopes.

Alcatraz - No idea what to expect or what it's really about. Could be fun.

Touch - Sounds like it has potential.

Smash - Could be the hit NBC is desperately searching for.

The River - Now that American Horror Story is over for the year, I'm in the market for another fun creepshow.

Awake - Yes, it's on the schedule! Well, sort of...no actual timeslot yet, but with the ongoing catastrophe that is NBC's ratings, I'm sure they can find something to cancel this spring.

And I might watch Work It, at least as much as I can tolerate, just to see how bad it really is.

I'll probably only watch Awake and Alcatraz. And perhaps the pilot of The Firm.

But Awake will probably not last more than a handful of episodes. And The Firm is expected to bomb.

Awake sounds like a premise that should have been on cable.

Isn't "The River" supposed to be like "Lost," but...ya know...on a river?

 

[Temis the Vorta]

The River sounds more like a thriller and not so much a bunch of convoluted mysteries.

Here are preview videos, if anyone's interested.

I looked at the one for Smash, eh. I saw a much better preview months ago, that didn't make it look like one of those singing competitions.

House of Lies looks like the whole premiere ep? Except with Don Cheadle's nekked butt censored, which somehow makes the whole thing funnier. I didn't know what to expect, but that one looks definitely promising.
