DSM was harmless, brainless fun. And yes, everyone around Krause and Sutherland was superfluous (apart from Blair Underwood who played a great villain) but served their purpose. I'd take it any day over crap like Grey's Anatomy. Not terribly upset about that one going, just minorly miffed...especially since people seem to like watching celebrities do ballroom dancing or the same fucking CSI formula done 90 fucking times over. I don't get people sometimes.
Pushing Daisies was fun and original, but I didn't get into it nearly as much as the Nebraskan did. Bryan Fuller, the show's creator, has cut his losses and moved on. He's already talking about returning to Heroes, and after watching yet another boring-as-hell episode the other night they could use his help. Then again, I think the show is beyond redemption at this point.
The one show I'm truly gonna miss is Eli Stone. Utterly preposterous and ridiculous premise, but they made it work spectacularly. I was invested in every single character in that show, especially Victor Garber's Jordan, who's good in
anything he does. That's now TWO decent shows canceled too soon that featured Jonny Lee Miller, who I guess is doomed forever to be the guy who let Angelina get away. By far my favorite show on the airwaves. Or it was at least.
Fringe unfortunately has gotten too complicated and convoluted for its own good. Like the X-Files the conspiracy has gotten so disjointed and silly that I just don't care about it anymore...difference being the X-Files at least took a little time to reach that point, Fringe has done it with a handful of episodes. Hooking a child prodigy up to machines to mine a song that happens to be an equation so the bad guys can pass through solid matter!? WTF? Just proves that Abrams is either hit or miss...let's hope Star Trek is "hit."
Guess I just gotta actually be productive with my time now...
