Eye on the Fall Part 1

As TJ may have mentioned, the job that keeps me in the city until ungodly hours is in the advertising industry. One of the many perks we get is that we get advance copies of the the fall tv pilots. This past weekend I took a look at what CBS will be offering this fall and I have decided to share that with you dear readers. As more become available I will let you guys know what you should and should not be watching. So here goes.

Harpers Island- Think 10 Little Indians meets April Fools Day meets Lost. If the first two references were lost on you then you will not like this show. A group of friends get together for a wedding on the mysterious Harper's Island where 10 years before a serial killer wiped out an entire family, almost. The lone survivor is a guest at the wedding and yep you guessed it strange shit starts happening again. No real big name stars unless you count Bill (he's not just doing it for money he's doing it for a shitload of money) Pullman. Decently creepy and CBS looks like its taking a departure from the countless CSI knockoffs. Check it out.

Project Gary-Jay Mohr stars as a newly divorced dad with 2 kids who hooks up with Jamie (I used to bang Kid Rock) King but neglects to tell her he has 2 kids and an ex-wife. A little cliched (the ex wife is remarrying their marriage counselor) but pretty damn funny. Mohr is the real draw here take note Opie and Anthony fans. Should be a good compliment to How I met your Mother and Two and a Half Men. Check it Out.

Worst Week- Think Meet the Parents the series. Doesn't sound funny? Good its not. Sam and his fiancee go to her parents house to break the news that they are enagaged and she is pregnant. The basic gist is that anything that can go wrong does. A couple of funny scenes and a bunch that aren't. Although Kurtwood Smith (Red from That 70's Show does his deadpan sarcasm to pretty good effect as the Father in Law. Hint to producers public urinantion jokes have been played out in every movie Adam Sandler has ever made, we're over it move on. Avoid.

The Ex-List-At first glance total chick show but its actually quite funny. The main character gets told if she doesn't get married within a year she will die alone. The catch is she has already met and broken up with her future husband so she has to go back through her list of exes (thus the title) and see if their is a spark. I sense I may have lost the guys here, fret not while yes this show is obviously aimed at women there's plenty for us as well. The women are all really hot and this being set in California frequently half dressed. The characters and dialogue work really well for those of us in our late 20's early 30's and an extended joke about female grooming habits is sure to please everyone. Give it a whirl.

Thats all for now as I watch more I'll give you all the lowdown.
Later
