'tis the TV season to be jolly. You heard right, it's fall again. Let the trees go nude and do their thing outside, while you enjoy some quality family time in front of the box. Well, I got a sneak peak at the shows that'll be gracing our screens this season and, let me tell you, there are a couple of new - and good - shows too. Oh and by the way, here's the obligatory 'SPOILER ALERT'. There you go.
Here are my picks:
Gossip Girl - what can a girl say about a show that she inspired and inspires millions others with? The new season is pretty interesting so far. The whole 'summer in the Hamptons' thing is okay, but they should really get back to school soon - Senior Year! Blair has a new guy - A lord, this one's a keeper. I hope the writers and cast take the show back to its roots - the brilliance of the first few episodes.
Dollhouse - written by Joss Whedon of Buffy fame and starring Eliza Dushku (Tru Calling, anyone?) and some random girl from Neighbours. It's a about a bunch of 'dolls' in a 'dollhouse'...A nice way of saying 'hookers in a brothel'. These 'dolls' are people who have donated their bodies for the house's use and they can be imprinted with any personality, they just don't have their own. People hire them to do jobs, which entail anything and everything. The pilot was not as strong as I hoped, but Joss has been writing a replacement, so fingers crossed.
True Blood - Based on Charlaine Harris' Southern Vampire Mysteries, which, by the way, came before the overrated Twilight series of teenage fan-craze-dom. Adapted for the screen by Alan Ball, who wrote American Beauty and Six Feet Under. About vampires coexisting with humans in the south ever since synthetic blood. Tasty.
90210 - not as good as the original, but good enough. About a family moving to from Kansas to Beverly Hills and all the adjusting that comes with. My favourite character so far is Annie.
Happy viewing!
