This is really tedious to navigate (50-slide gallery, actually), but it's pretty good to look at the pros and cons of all of the Bubble shows on the main networks:

Just cottoned to Eagleheart this season. The "Blues" episode is pretty amazing.

ABC bought that Last Resort show from Shawn "The Shield/Terriers" Ryan that I'm pretty sure we've discussed before. Description from EW:
Last Resort stars Andre Braugher in a high-concept project described as “an international action-thriller-soap that follows the story of establishing a new society in a world held hostage by the crew of a ballistic missile submarine. Basically, a U.S. nuclear sub crew refuses orders to fire their missiles and escapes to a NATO outpost and declares themselves the smallest nuclear nation. Scott Speedman and Autumn Reeser co-star.

High Concept? Andre Braugher? Why it's destined to be a hit for sure.

It's shot to the top of my 'must-watch new shows' list, for sure.

yeah when i read about it a while back i was excited, presence of Braugher ratchets up my anticipation while also reducing the possibility of it being widely watched
― some dude, Saturday, 12 May 2012 19:14 (1 year ago) Permalink
The premise seems great, and I will seriously watch anything with Andre Braugher in it.

With that premise I do hope they make a series finale episode as part of their initial order. I'd hate to be left hanging if it gets cancelled.

mindy kaling project looks kinda legit funny

why do you sound surprised????????
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:39 (1 year ago) Permalink
"kinda"
well, the preview's heavy reliance on kinda obvious relationship beats and the grey's anatomy montage at the end worried me. i do think she's really funny re the office and i thought her book was funny. and the trailer did have some funny lines, so i'm hopeful!
― Mordy, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:46 (1 year ago) Permalink
full disclosure: i hadn't even seen the trailer for her show when i posted that; i was just kneejerkin'. now i've seen it and some of it seemed not that funny but i have faith in mindy.
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:48 (1 year ago) Permalink
i've never seen her in anything but both "it's messy" and "the mindy project" are like the worst possible show names ever

u r the worst possible show name
― horseshoe, Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:49 (1 year ago) Permalink
i'm just saying, i hope they keep changing it until they come up with something not terrible
― kitty shayme (some dude), Wednesday, 16 May 2012 02:50 (1 year ago) Permalink
also you would totally watch a show called Some Dude, admit it
kitty shayme is a little more o_O but yes, it occurred to me that that comeback was not the best vs. a displayname ninja

if you didn't watch "joey" you're allowed to say that you wouldn't watch a show called "some dude"

Maybe because lots of talented and funny people have been in lots of shitty shows?

i too love mindy kaling. that's why the name of the show doesn't bother me so much. i'd be much less interested if it didn't seem like they were giving her so much control over the show.

never seen an episode, but i saw twitter people were complaining that the quality had dropped off in the last 5 or 6 episodes. did the finale kick ass?

After the fucking dumb ending Awake had, I'm glad I never have to see it again.
― Johnny Fever, Friday, 25 May 2012 04:21 (11 months ago) Permalink
can you go ahead and spoil it for me? i'm curious about what happened w/ the premise but not curious enough to slog through anything past the pilot
― some dude, Friday, 25 May 2012 04:23 (11 months ago) Permalink
I've seen enough Revenge to say it's okay but not as spectacular as people puzzlingly seem to think it is. Also, it's probably more like a 21st Century analogue to Dallas than the actual 21st Century version of Dallas is likely to be. That's sort of high praise, coming from me (only "sort of" because early Dallas is great and Revenge can only keep striving and hope to hit those heights).

I actually liked the Awake finale, a lot. Glad it went out w/ its WTF guns blazing rather than trying to wrap it up neatly.

Finale was good until the final scene.
~*~*~*SPOILER*~*~*
For some dude, it ended up that the accident wasn't an accident, but a conspiracy to cover up heroin trafficking by his commanding officers. He was bouncing back and forth between these realities, piecing the case together from events in each, until he got retribution in one and the other one just vanished. Then it turned out none of it had ever happened and his family was alive.

Would've had more resonance if both his wife and son had died and he'd finally worked through his grief and found peace. But no...HAPPY ENDINGS FOR EVERYBODY!

Thank goodness his family was alive.
In other news, thank goodness that my post-L O S T shitty high concept show sniffer is apparently still in tip-top shape.

I never watched Gilmore Girls more than a part of an episode here and there, but I just caught an encore airing of the Bunheads premiere and I'm gonna set my dvr for the season. Definitely love it initially.
