Fall Series Continue

This is my brother in NYC. We noticed it looked like someone had "an eruption" on the sign near his head.

Anyway, NYC makes for a nice segue to tonight's topic, the return of Heroes, as well as Studio 60, and the rest of the watchable new shows that arrived last fall. I wanted to solicit some opinions...

First, Heroes. Certainly the most-hyped show of the season. I thought the first episode was really good, followed by nine episodes of useless set-up, followed by a really interesting season finale. Now, there is talk of introducing a new character, with a new power, that will inevitably require more plot set up. I've tempered my expectations.

This show could have been so much better. Too much build up, not enough delivery or focus.

Since I only have one bad thing to say about Studio 60, this will be short. They need to drop the whole shenanigans with Danny's romantic interest in Jordan. Matthew Perry's romantic dilemma is plenty for this show.

Finally, it's worth noting that the return of Men in Trees licked sweaty crevasse. It was a disappointing return for a surprisingly good show.

In other news, it looks like the Diabetes (thanks, Wilford) has claimed another young former star. Bam Bam Bigelow was found dead in his home.
