A few days back I asked if any of yall were planning on watching any members of this season’s crop of “I Can’t Believe It’s Not Lost!” TV shows. Loyal ADDTF reader Kerry answered thusly:
Hey there! I have posted a few basic reviews on my blog, which you are welcome to check out. I took it upon myself to watch at least one episode of the new shows, and trust me, that was no easy task!
The best of the spooky award goes to Supernatural, so far. Demons, spirits, haints, hags, and other campfire creepies being hunted by two brothers searching for their father, burning ladies on the ceiling … how can you go wrong? [It’s also] X-Files-y in the sense that each episode is self-contained, though there is a running plot as well.
Threshold is more conspiracy-based, all about the futile attempt to keep the lid on some alien invaders, but is also worth watching. It is decidedly creepy, what with the backward-talking and the midget. [Sounds familiar… -Ed.]
I watched Invasion last night, and it was not terrible; Threshold seems to be a superior show, but I’ll continue to give Invasion a chance.
Surface is more family-oriented, but offers some thrilling moments, especially when you realize how MAMMOTH the whatever-it-is IS. [Soooo tempting… -Ed.] The only irksome aspect so far is that some kids found an “egg” and are now raising a baby whatever-it-is in a cooler… I feel that the quality of this show will decline as the “baby” gets bigger and is used as a plot device, but I could be wrong.
Prison Break might just be the best piece of TV drama I have seen since …well, since I don’t know when. Of course, the things that happen on the show would NEVER happen in a real prison, but the script is so compelling you voluntarily suspend your disbelief and just take the ride.
The Night Stalker has not yet premiered; when I see it, you’ll know what I think of it.
And Lost is still the leader of the pack
