ghost2Anyone watch the premiere of Crusoe last night? No? Just me, then. My advice: Don't bother with this one. Really, a boring show. Next!
How about My Own Worst Enemy? No, I didn't like that one, either. It almost made Heroes seem coherent by comparison.
Better news: Sarah Connor Chronicles improved in ratings over the past couple of airings (and baseball, which replaced it last Monday, failed to do that much better in the demos) so it actually got a full season pickup. That's pretty much the opposite of what looked like happening just a few weeks ago, but they can't cancel everything. Fox is also having trouble on Wed., Thurs., and Fri.
Speaking of cancellation, I wish NBC would get rid of Kath & Kim. Given that it's supposedly a comedy, surely the pilot should have included at least one amusing line.
I do think that Eleventh Hour, Privileged, 90210, Life on Mars, Fringe, and The Mentalist are at least watchable. Still, overall this is a weak season for new shows.
