The Blue Board

TV shows are becoming crazy good looking.

I really like Giancarlo Esposito as well.

I'll probably watch.

Could be he's just attached to it in name only. I really like the premise. Hopefully the execution is equally as good.

Abrahms is the man. Lost is my favorite show so ill be checking this out no doubt.

Abrams is listed as a writer on IMDB. That could just be for the pilot, but we'll see.

I will give it a chance, but he seems to be a miss/hit/miss/hit/miss kind of guy so who knows.
Person of Interest is great, but Alcatraz and Undercovers were horrible.

More hits than misses. I never watched an episode of either Alcatraz of Undercovers, but I really enjoy Person of Interest, as well as Lost and Alias.

In general he seems to stretch the idea of what broadcast television is a ton more than most. I love shows that have an actual overarching storyline instead of just a series of one-offs, so if he hits only 50% of the time, but keeps pushing out great shows once a year, so be it. Even his crap shows are light years better than 99% of reality TV.

I was going to say the same thing about the actors. To be fair most of the Lost actors were relatively unknown actors and that worked out well. The only one from the tailor I recognized was the uncle from the movie Fracture. Fox is notorious for pulling the plug early on shows so I guess we'll see.

The hits are four shows i really enjoy, can't really say a whole lot about the flops. I think given its longevity uou have to consider Felicity a hit, I'm just not surre who it was a hit with. Ha.

When i first saw stuff on Alcatraz i really wanted to like it, but after the poor reviews I never even got up the motivation to watch it.

Agreed.

I know what you mean, Firefly still bothers me, such a good show

Amazing wouldn't be the first adjective I'd use to describe The Event.

premise reminds me of some SM Stirling books that I have never read since SM Stirling is a crappy writer. Those were written in the last ten or so years I think.
