How would you grade this season's new and returning shows?
Now that the fall season is hitting the two-month-old mark it's probably safe enough to start grading how some of the new and returning shows are doing. Our friends over at AOL Television have done such a thing and are giving you a chance to grade the TV shows as well.
Thirty shows were chosen for their fall TV scorecard and range from long-running shows such as CSI and ER to fresh out of the box programs like Pushing Daisies and Private Practice. The highest marks go out to House, which has reinvented itself this season with a set of new doctors for Greg House to abuse; Pushing Daises, which AOL TV describes as the best new show of the season; Ugly Betty, a show that has yet to enter a sophomore slump; Reaper, one of the brighter spots for the slumping CW network; Desperate Housewives, 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights.
Buzz on that Geico cavemen show not too good
A lot of people said "huh?" when it was announced that ABC had ordered a pilot for a new series based on the Geico commercials featuring cavemen, and now it looks like those people may have been on to something.
Early word on the show is that it's "astoundingly awful," "without a laugh in sight," "jaw-droppingly horrendous," and makes American Dad look sophisticated. But I wonder how these people who saw the pilot really feel. The reviews come from someone at Ain't It Cool News.
The part that upsets me the most? The actors from the commercials aren't even in the show! So...what the hell?
Meet the cast of Survivor: Panama
CBS has assembled quite the rag-tag group of reality television junkies to participate in the twelfth
installation of Survivor. This time around, it's in Panama. Last fall's competition was so darn boring that
the producers really spiced things up this time around. First of all, the cast of characters is pretty interesting.
Castaways include a former astronaut, a karate expert, a female lumberjack, an attorney who calls himself "a
modern day caveman", and a woman who wants people to think of her as the "hot nurse". The producers are
mixing up the rules, too. Instead of two tribes, there will be four, and they'll be divided by age and gender. Think:
old men vs. old women vs. young men vs. young women. That gives them old fogies a fightin' chance! Plus, a lot more
castaways will be sent to solitary confinement on their very own island. Survivor: Panama--Exile Island
