As you saw on my followup post, I wasn't impressed with "Bones" at all. If i don't watch CSI, I'm certainly not going to put Bones on the must-see list. As for the topic, I agree, it's nice to discuss scifi again. Not that I have any problems discussing socio-political issues, mind you, but I've been missing our discussions on Battlestar Galactica, movies, cartoons, crappy Sci Fi Channel original programs like last week's so-bad-it's-funny "The Man with The Screaming Brain". -----Original Message----- From: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of g123curious Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2005 13:01 To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Subject: [scifinoir2] Re: New shows premiering tonight
It's nice to have something to discuss other than Katrina and the Brad Pitt/Jennifer Anniston breakup. I just upgraded from Basic cable (a/k/a antenna service) to Standard cable with ESPN, ESPN2, SciFi, and TBS. (Comcast upgraded my monthly bill from $8 to $55, too. That is criminal as there is no package inbetween the two.) So, now I cna get my full weekly dose of football. Bones was another CSI clone. There are now so many CSI clones on TV. Bones was cute in spots, but doesn't have enough horsepower to keep my attention or viewership. Yes, it is formulaic... very much so. Nothing really original here, either. I'll make no bones about it and strongly recommend that you skip it. George --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, "Keith Johnson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Two new shows are premiering tonight.
