Threshold, Invasion, and Supernatural seem to be the good ones among the new shows. Medium, Lost, the Stargates, and Galactica are the popular holdovers from last season. Surface will probably die, as Threshold and Invasion are better shows in the same genre. Same for Ghost Whisperer, unless the old Touched by an Angel crowd gives it good ratings. The Night Stalker hasn't premiered yet, but I'm hearing it may not pull in the audiences. Supernatural may have stolen its "creature of the week" excitement, and the addition of a mystery (surprise!) may not be enough to hook viewers. Still, I like the leads and will give it a watch. Although it's not scifi, Prison Break has that unfolding mystery flavor. Not sure if it'll catch on yet.
Isn't it fun to have an embarrassment of riches this year? Been a little while since so many speculative fiction shows were on at once. I wonder how many the viewers will support. The slowly unfolding mystery theme is all over the place, with every one of the new scifi/supernatural shows weaving some such thread through their plots. One wonders how long before audiences get tired of that and just want standalone action. I think it can work if, like Supernatural, all the shows make it so that you can still jump in to any show without having to know all the background. -------------- Original message -------------- I enjoyed Threshold a lot. It's my favorite of the new shows. Surface was interesting but weak. Supernatural is a guilty pleasure. Invasion was ok. Maybe thew next few episodes will hook me. --- In scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > I still have the premiere of Threshold on tape hope to watch it tonight. I also recorded Surface, which by all indications ain't that good. Think I will pass at even trying to watch Ghost Whisperer, as Medium's quite good enough, thank you! YAHOO!
