Televison's Fall Season Schedule Lineup
Sunday, September 16, 2007
This isn't going to be a good year for television: that was my first thought when I saw the fall season schedule lineup.
CBS has a show called
Men in Trees. Does that sound like a winner to you?
One new dramatic show,
K'Ville, has a black male lead, with the sexy Cole Hauser as co-star.
I think
Heroes and
Lost killed eliminated most, if not all, of their token blacks. And don't hold your breath expecting to see a normal black woman anytime soon: the strident, asexual, best friend is back in style.
I didn't see
Law and Order or
Law and Order: Criminal Intent in the lineup. So there goes my favorite crime shows. Yeah, I know they're on cable.
Television shows get canceled so quickly these days, that when I'm ready to get around to watching - the program is off the air. Damn.
If
Seinfeld was broadcast today, it'd be gone already.
Seinfeld took nearly three years to hit its stride or groove. It became a hit once it was moved from Wednesday to Thursday completing NBC's heavy duty lineup. I doubt any show gets that kind of nurturing love anymore.
There is one show I'm willing to pay for and that's
Kyle XY. I think the young man is hot. The storyline, his personality and character development is a vast improvement over
Smallville's superman.
Maybe there will be a show worth downloading or web watching this fall. I doubt it. Hey, that may not be a bad thing, I may have a more active social life then.
