Some interesting new series - maybe?

TV Week has previews for the next season's programmes - I think these look at least OK if not good:

Pushing Daisies - Bryan Fuller's latest series (ABC)

Private Practice - the Grey's Anatomy spinoff (ABC)

Moonlight - yes, probably an Angel clone but it still looks interesting enough (CBS)

Reaper - a Kevin Smith comedy - 'nuff said! (CW)

The Sarah Connor Chronicles - Summer Glau, Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker - all we'd need to add would be Nathan Fillion ('cos he's good in anything!) and it would be a dream cast (ASSHATS - sorry, FOX)

The only channel to get no interest at all from me is NBC!

Everything looked kind of meh. I think the musical Vegas show could be fun, although all the singing quite possibly could get old. I had high hopes for the Parker Posey show with Amy as the creator, but laugh track? ugh!

I never got the whole Gilmore Girls thing so Amy Sherman-Palladino's presence wasn't a particular selling point for me.

It will be interesting though to see how some of these new series go - sometimes the most unlikey thing can become The Next Big Thing!

Pushing Daisies and The Reaper I'm interested in. Don't know about Sarah Conner, I've seen no preview of it. But what about the new Bionic Woman? I saw a long promo and it looked amazing. Chuck looks good too, very funny. Adam Baldwin's in it!

I've seen a bit of The Sarah Connor Chronicles - previews here and there in addition to this one. It definitely has potential - let's just see if that is realised, which, given that it's FOX, is highly unlikely! In fact, I'm amazed they haven't already cancelled it!

I didn't realise Adam Baldwin was in Chuck - it may just be worth having a look at then! Not so sure about the Bionic Woman - the preview looked OK but I'm just not sure ..... Then again, I couldn't believe that a remake of that appalling cheesey 80's series, Battlestar Galactica, could be any good!
