Since I’m having so much trouble getting around to talking about what I’m reading – and I’m still not really in the mood to talk about it yet – I thought I’d post something about a couple of the new TV series I’ve checked out so far this fall.
I am definitely hooked on the new Flash Gordon series. That one caught me completely by surprise. I mean I knew I was going to check it out, but I really didn’t expect to like it. I do. A lot. It’s quirky and off-beat. Humorous and definitely doesn’t take itself seriously. Something just for the fun of it. Exactly what a Flash Gordon series should be without all the unnecessary melodrama. And I really like the new spins they’re putting on the characters. Very interesting.
Then, against my better judgement, I had to check out the update of the Bionic Woman. Can’t say I’m sold on this one yet. It has some good points and some bad ones and it’s going to be a toss up as to which ones win out. We shall see.
And last, but not least, there’s Chuck. I wasn’t even planning to watch this one but accidently stumbled across the pilot one night on the USA network. Another oddly quirky sci-fi entry. Sort reminds me of a rip-off of Jake 2.0 and I’m not sure if it’s going to fly but the characters seem fun. We’ll see.
