The Fall season is finally here. Now we have plenty of football, soccer and television to look forward to. Are you ready?
Every year I look at the crop of new TV shows and pick out a few that I would like to watch. I likely won’t, because I don’t have time for new shows (still trying to catch up on the regular shows I watch…). But here’s to dreaming. Here’s my ode to what could be, should be and may be.
Terra Nova - Dinosaurs! Steven Spielberg! Time travel! T-Rexs! This show has been delayed for some time as it works out its epic scope and monster special effects. There’s a chance it won’t work, but of all the shows on this list, it will be the one that I do actually watch from the beginning. I liked Jurassic Park. I liked Land of the Lost (as a kid…). I liked Avatar. I like science fiction. I am a geek. This is geek gold.
Pan Am - Going for the 1960′s appeal, this follows the lives of Pan American World Airways flight attendants and pilots. Scripts were often taken from true accounts from real flight attendants. Because nothing is stranger than real life.
Person of Interest – J.J. Abrams! Michael Emerson of Lost! Jesus Jim Caviezel! This show looks at what it takes to stop criminals before they commit a crime. Very Minority Report of them.
Prime Suspect - A new detective show (one of millions on air at the moment) with Maria Bello, as a remake of a British show that starred Helen Mirren. Why bother with a tired formula? Because I said so.
Free Agents – Hank Azaria, newly divorced, takes on the whole romance in the workplace shtick. Could be funny. Also a British comedy remake.
Bonus shows to not peek at since time won’t allow: New Girl and Revenge.
