I want to say good things about NBC. Truly! Yes, NBC is frequently the target of my poop sling, and no, I don't have a single NBC show in my Tivo rotation (30 Rock doesn't count since I watch it through Netflix and since NBC tried to cancel it ... twice!). But NBC was my first television romance. Night Court? Family Ties? [Swoon].
Unfortunately for NBC they just can't get anything right, even when I'm ready and willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Well, that's not strictly true; they're doing well with football, but I don't watch football on TV. I get all my stats through www.espn.go.com.
So here's the sin I can't forgive ...the itch I can't scratch (completely unrelated to my ass being planted in an office chair all day) ... the reason I can't stop being critical: NBC can't stop putting talented actors in crap shows! I've said it before. This time, they've put Summer Glau (one of my faves) in The Cape. I'll save the criticism of the show itself for later; for now I'll just say that since I'm incapable of thinking bad thoughts about Summer Glau I'm going to blame this show completely on NBC. You already screwed up Heroes ... stop messing with the superhero genre! You're not helping!
P.S. -
Erica Durance, I love you.
I just watched (most of) the pilot of The Cape. It was execrable. Though I liked Summer Glau's kick-ass (though totally impractical for actual ass-kicking) outfits. Hot.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're back posting!
Thanks Shauna! I'm trying to be more prolific; I've even incorporated Twitter! And I agree completely ... Summer Glau's outfits (or rather - Summer Glau IN her outfits) are almost enough to make me watch the show. Almost.
