Prison Break Is Back Tonight!

Well, tonight it begins, the second season of Prison Break, followed by the series premiere of Vanished. I'm not sure about Vanished, but Prison Break is a must-see.

Anyways, FOX seems to have the best Monday night line-up. Apart from CSI: Miami, Heroes and maybe Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip, there's nothing worth watching on the other networks. And until late September, the two FOX shows are all there is to watch on Mondays.

Nothing more to say, just remember to watch the second season premiere of Prison Break, tonight at 8:00 PM on FOX.

I'm Back to Blogging

As the fall season is about to begin, I figured I'd start blogging again. Wow, my last entry is from April. I can't believe it's been over four months since I've blogged. Well, I guess my summer hiatus is finally over.

Since that time, I've gotten a number of new editorships... far too many to list here. Among those editorships are four new shows premiering this fall—Brothers & Sisters, Friday Night Lights, Jericho and Smith. In addition, I'm still editor for the two shows I got last year—Ghost Whisperer and Prison Break—now entering their sophomore season. Editing six currently airing shows is surely going to be a lot of work, but I think I'm up to the challenge. Anyhow, here's a simple schedule of the shows I edit.

Prison Break
Mondays at 8:00 PM on FOX, premiering August 21

Friday Night Lights
Tuesdays at 8:00 PM on NBC, premiering October 3

Smith
Tuesdays at 10:00 PM on CBS, premiering September 19

Jericho
Wednesdays at 8:00 PM on CBS, premiering September 20

Ghost Whisperer
Fridays at 8:00 PM on CBS, premiering September 22

Brothers & Sisters
Sundays at 10:00 PM on ABC, premiering September 24

New Look, New Editorships...

Well, the new look of TV.com is now live, and I must say, it does look better. I still feel the beta test should've lasted longer, as I've encountered several new bugs today. But that shouldn't be a problem as long as the staff is committed to fixing them.

I got a new show today, as it seems the old editor for Melrose Place had retired. In addition, I acquired two new people guides, Hilary Duff and Katharine Isabelle.

I guess there's no point to post the boxie anymore, since the stats are already listed on our profile pages.

9.2 Superb
The 4400
Avg Score: 8.92    Total Ratings: 9475    Total Reviews: 342
A great show in the first season.

The first season was one of the best I’ve ever seen on TV. The characters were interesting, and the storyline was well-written. The main focus was clearly on the main characters, and the guest stars weren’t too much in the spot light. There were lots of sub-plots involving the main characters—I especially liked how the relationships between Shawn, Danny and Nikki developed.

When the second season began, I was shocked to learn that they had got rid of Nikki and Danny—the characters that added a great deal of depth to the story. I think they should’ve got rid of Jordan Collier instead. The current storyline is way too much Collier oriented, and there’s nothing to add to his character anymore.

There has been some good development in the second season too. The guest characters get more attention now, and there have been great guest stars such as Robert Picardo, Summer Glau, Natasha Gregson Wagner and Lexa Doig.

9.8 Superb
The Amazing Race
Avg Score: 8.99    Total Ratings: 3980    Total Reviews: 270
The best reality show. The Amazing Race really is amazing—eleven or twelve teams of two competing around the world.

The teams and the viewers never know what’s going be the next task the teams have to complete. There are some basic rules on the race but those rules aren’t as unchangeable as one might think at first. We have learned during the eight seasons of the show that anything can change unexpectedly—what everyone thinks is a pit stop turns out to not to be one. These twists in the game are what make the series so thrilling that I can’t miss an episode.

Lost
Avg Score: 9.20    Total Ratings: 35453    Total Reviews: 2291
Absolutely the best series on TV. Everything is as perfect as it can possibly be—great storyline, direction, actors, locations, and music.

The format of introducing the characters thru flashbacks of their lives before the crash works extremely well. We, the viewers, never get to know too much about them at once, and there always remains something new to learn about their backgrounds.

Nothing on the island is what it seems to be, or what it should be. I can hardly wait for the next season to begin this fall—to learn what is inside the hatch, and what happened to the people on the raft.

The best CSI episode. There’s no previous episode that even comes close.

I could instantly tell it was written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It was like watching one of his movies with those amazing camera angles, and the atmosphere was like nothing I’ve ever seen in a TV series. I felt I was able to get to know the characters better than ever before.

Nick’s dream sequence was one of the greatest moments of the episode. It really let me feel how Nick was feeling that moment.

Tarantino really knows the show, and the characters—possibly even better than the regular writing staff does.

Alias
Avg Score: 8.96    Total Ratings: 9012    Total Reviews: 424
The best written series along with "Lost". That’s no surprise as both shows are created by J.J. Abrams and written by mostly the same staff.

The first season theme of Sydney working to bring down SD-6 quickly came to an end, and it was the right time to do that since it was really going nowhere. After that point, the show became more focused on the characters, and their backgrounds.

The ongoing Rambaldi storyline brilliantly unites all the sub-plots to a mysterious prophecy from hundreds of years ago.

"Alias" is definitely getting better and better every season, and I’m looking forward to the next season.
