Woohoo, thanks Nikki! I was totally thinking this morning we needed a thread like this.
Here's my thoughts so far:
Fave New Shows: The Secret Circle and Pan Am. Secret Circle I knew I'd like but Pan Am surprised me. I really loved the mix of glamour with the spyelated intrigue plus I thought Christina Ricci was really charming.
Undecided: Ringer, Terra Nova: I watched the first episodes of both of these and while I liked them I'm not totally convinced I'll stick with them. I did like that Terra Nova was kind of a TV version of Jurassic Park. I didn't expect so much dinoelated action, haha.
Biggest Disappointment: The New Girl. I love quirky comedies but I seriously hated this show. Had Adam and I not been watching together, I wouldn't even have watched the entire episode which is saying something.
Not only was it not funny but Zooey's character was SO over the top, to the point where I honestly wanted to slap her. I mean, there's cute and quirky and then there's borderline how-does-she-function-in-society mental patient and Zooey was definitely channelling the later. I didn't believe for one second that any of those one-dimensional man children would have ever agreed to live with her, haha.
It's a shame too because I think the show has potential but it needs to tone everything down and get a bit more rooted in reality to be funny. I know Fox has already picked it up for a full season because the ratings have been strong but a lot of the comments I've seen in recaps have been similar to mine so it'll be interesting to see if the ratings hold up over the course of the season.
There's a couple of other shows I've recorded but haven't watched. Oh and in response to ANTM All Star Edition all I have to say is Tyra just gets crazier and crazier with each season.
