A New Season
In the immortal words of Mark, four new shows that I'm interested in:
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip seems to be the show to beat this year. It has the pedigree, the critical buzz -- and Steven Weber.
Despite covering similar territory, I will probably even try to catch 30 Rock for Tina Fey and Alec Baldwin, a terribly underrated comedic actor. Its success is going to depend on whether or not it can bring the funny. (Wouldn't this fit perfectly behind the My Name is Earl/The Office hour?)
Did JJ Abrams create The Nine, because it seems to be following the Lost formula down to casting ex-Party of Five actors. Will this be as lame as last year's knockoff crop? Probably.
And finally, my dark horse candidate of the year - Heroes. It has been getting mixed reviews, but the concept is intriguing. Let's see if it can execute.
Et tu, Mark?
