wishfulclickingLadies' Big Bang is back for round two! This is one of my favorite fests and maybe this time I'll submit something or maybe at least do a complement mix or something.
I have so many bingos to post for amnesty it's ridiculous.
Yesterday I saw Bridesmaids and I really enjoyed it. More on that later.
For reasons that are difficult to understand, I have a soft spot for NBC as a network (in brief: I really loved Friends and Season one Heroes a lot and the lesser known American Dreams and so many other NBC shows. They actually hit the perfect mix for me when they get it right. Of course they own my Thursday comedy night) so I checked out their new season offerings.
Up All Night stars Christina Applegate and Will Arnett, two funny people that just don't really make shows starring themselves that I'm interested in; even with Maya Rudolph the preview didn't make me want to watch it.
Free Agents looked funnier than I thought it would after reading others' descriptions of it. I've liked the lead actress since she was on Crossing Jordan and Hank Azaria crying after sex actually made me chuckle a bit. I don't see myself dropping any of my current shows for it but I do want to see it.
Blame my Fables fixation for being open to all of these fairy tale themed shows coming up in the Fall. Grimm has me intrigued but its timeslot tells me not to get attached; also, I like a touch of whimsy things like this, even with the more gritty approach.
The Playboy Club. I will check it out but it's going to get compared to Mad Men and it's going to fall short. Eddie Cibrian (?) just seems like attractive cardboard that smirks in a slightly douche manner and the leading blonde seemed stiff as well. This could just be pilot jitters and they could settle into a better flow as the show progresses--I sure hope so; and maybe the focus isn't solely on those two and the other women could get a chance to tell their stories as well.
Prime Suspect looks like a rather good detective show and if I weren't so tired of the genre I'd be more excited about it; but I've had my fill of detective shows so I'll probably give this one a chance but I don't see myself being devoted to it.
