It was listed as an hour long comedy/drama about a town taken over by zombies. I don't know how far they could have gone with it, but to my knowledge we have never had a continuing series about zombies, so it could have been fun. I guess we'll never know.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-6608798085240598952007-05-17T14:18:00.000-04:002007-05-17T14:18:00.000-04:00Jonathan, I don't know of the zombie show of which...Jonathan, <BR/><BR/>I don't know of the zombie show of which you speak, but TV can always use a few more of the undead around.Phillip Ramatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739438191519332313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-33732554832579057012007-05-16T19:58:00.001-04:002007-05-16T19:58:00.001-04:00Oh, and I almost forgot.

I will be happy to see Barney finish the sentence he left us hanging with next fall, however, along with the other dozen fans the show still has: "It's going to be legend...wait for it..."<BR/><BR/>I agree with Zodin, for us that stuck with "Jericho" up to it's pretty cool finale and like he said, huge cliffhanger, it's a bit annoying that we won't get to see it continue. But CBS had screwed this show's chances up so much with that long hiatus without even showing nary a rerun to get new fans caught up. It would be a lot easier to get some people into "Mother," which doesn't have as complex a storyline. Plus, I'm sure it's much cheaper to produce. But "Jericho" is not the first ("Invasion," "Nowhere Man," "John Doe," etc.) nor will it be the last continuous saga that will get us sucked in for one season and then dissapear. So long, Skeet Ulrich, for once and probably only once I didn't think you sucked.Jonathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09548468568645800735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-87457852023872683862007-05-16T15:16:00.000-04:002007-05-16T15:16:00.000-04:00It was originally titled, "Twilight" so we are bot...It was originally titled, "Twilight" so we are both right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-49126967666743630932007-05-16T14:17:00.000-04:002007-05-16T14:17:00.000-04:00Of all the shows on all the networks, HIMYM was th...Of all the shows on all the networks, HIMYM was the one I was sweating the most, so for me, CBS had a good day today.<BR/><BR/>I'm guessing they will introduce the titular Mother next season, so it will be interesting to see how they do that.Phillip Ramatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739438191519332313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-50633314531380513532007-05-16T13:47:00.000-04:002007-05-16T13:47:00.000-04:00I am so glad that "Mother" is sticking around!

I would argue that "30 Rock" is right there (because of Alex Baldwin alone) but "mother" is 'totally awesome' and I can't think of a show I will be more happy to see back in September, save for "Friday Night Lights".<BR/><BR/>As for "Jericho", I am getting thedistinct feeling of deja vu. (someone call Denzel Washington). Last year, I became totally inthralled with ABC's brilliant, "Invasion" (which also started slow and finished out as one of the best things on Television), and "Invasion" finished, like "Jericho", with a huge cliffhanger. <BR/><BR/>Alas, just like "Invasion" we will never have closure. It is so depressing to get into these serials with these interesting plots and characters and contuining story arcs...only to have these shows dumped with no closure. ARRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG.<BR/><BR/>By the way, phillip, a correction...the giant ripoff of "Angel" is called, "Twilight", not "Moonlight". They might as well call it, "Angel 2: Electric Boogaloo". <BR/><BR/>And finally, for CBS to only have 5 new shows, well, that's the spoils of war I guess...when you are the #1 network (despite having the overall least compelling lineup of shows save for 1 great sitcom with "Mother"), you get to keep everyting around.<BR/><BR/>I will continue to not understand people's viewing habits, watching endless CSI's and junk like "Criminal Minds".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-11934308143229614322007-05-16T13:07:00.000-04:002007-05-16T13:07:00.000-04:00I'm not spoiling anything on Bones, since Fox has ...I'm not spoiling anything on Bones, since Fox has been running ads all week showing scenes from the wedding. Lost has deliberately shown ads that don't mention the character whose life is in the balance. Big difference.<BR/><BR/>Plus, it's not as if Bones hasn't been building to the wedding most of the season.Phillip Ramatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739438191519332313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32031147.post-38368513184085997102007-05-16T13:04:00.000-04:002007-05-16T13:04:00.000-04:00So, you don't want to "ruin" about who may or may ...So, you don't want to "ruin" about who may or may not have died last week on "Lost", even though the episode aired 7 days ago and this is a daily TV Blog, but you will spill about the wedding of Hodgins & Angela? I believe that is referred to as throwing large stones through a glass window...<BR/><BR/>Anyhoo, my wife & I had not gotten around to watching "Bones" yet from last week, but you needn't worry...TV Guide already spoiled last week's episode and I had heard rumors for a month anyway about a 'wedding' so I just assumed Angela would change her mind from 2 weeks ago. It was a given and the show is so enjoyable we will still watch anyway, both episodes.<BR/><BR/>As for "Lost" everyone reading this Blog today should know which character and if indeed they killed this character off, the best character on the show by miles, then I may say to hell with "Lost". <BR/><BR/>I mean, I could care less if they killed boring annoying characters like Claire or even Charlie, but if they kill this guy off, the show maybe dead to me. This character is SO important to "Lost", I would compare it to "24" killing Jack Bauer or "The Office" killing off Jim Halpert.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
