Revolution

[alliecat8]

If y'all wanted to watch J.J. Abram's new show - which I mysteriously seem to be the only person on my flist who watched...and liked! - they're replaying it tonight (Wed.) on NBC at 10 p.m. (ET).

It occurred to me that, since a bunch of us already have a committment at Revolution's present time slot - Mondays at 10 - Hawaii 5-0, of course! - that might be why you stayed away. Because otherwise, it seems like the kind of show the flist *I* know might like! :) I'm in the same boat; I'm not giving up on watching MY BOYS when they air! But I will record Revolution, at least until I know if it's gonna draw me in or not.

Consider this a Public Service Announcement.

No, you're not the only one. But yeah, I'm not sure it's going to draw me in either yet. Not because of Hawaii 5-0 - I gave up on that a long time ago - but because I like to reserve judgment on shows until I know they're going to make it to season 2 these days. It makes saying goodbye to prematurely cancelled shows a lot less frustrating.

H5-0 is my junk food show - I don't watch it for substance but for style. ;) As for withholding judgment on shows, I took a leap of faith on Revolution simply because it was JJ (even tho I wanted to kill him for getting me addicted to Lost PLENTY of times) and because I just can't resist that type of show. Case in point, last year's The River. It was very flawed but it had SO MUCH POTENTIAL that it broke my heart when they didn't renew it. Especially since it ended on a creepy and very suspenseful note and could have made a few adjustments and come back strong...now I'm relegated to dreaming up my own episodes. Oh well, at least that gives me something to do while I'm trying to fall asleep at night.

I totally understand your caution. I think we'll be able to tell if Revolution will make it or not in the next few weeks. I'm kind of rooting for it, even with its frustrating aspects. Damn you JJ, don't do this to me again!
