08-09 TV first look
Oct 11th, 2008 by Ashley
The Mentalist might be the best new show of the season (among the ones I’ve watched.) It contains elements required for a successful show. It is well paced and good humored, and the camera gives enough clues to the viewers so that we don’t feel fooled when the unsuspected killer is revealed.
Privileged is cute (Megan is not, unfortunately), and as long as it doesn’t go toward the everyone-sleeping-with-everyone lane, I’ll be happy to keep watching Megan trying to lead the girls on the path to Duke.
As for Kath and Kim, I just can’t resist Selma Blair. I’m such a big fan of her. However, K & K needs to set its tone before people got tired of their nonsense.
I liked the idea of the Ex List. However, it screams one-season show for me if not shorter. I mean, she had to run out of ex’s before we’re tired of it, and what’s next? Casting is pretty good except for the leading role. Megan from Privileged looks wonderfully adorable comparing to her. Geez. The guys are yummy. Can’t complain about it.
I only watched the first ep of Fringe and I decided it’s not my cup of tea.
