The fact is it is geared towards five/seven seasons, 22 episodes a season. In other words you are looking down the barrel of (over) one hundred hours of story. The last thing they want to do is give away anything in the first three hours. So you get story lines that go nowhere and very little info that is important. The producers still need to pick up viewers and cannot give out important bits of info until they have built their audience. Look at "Lost" and how that story changed. Look at "Fringe" and how far it is removed from its original storyline. The problem is, this series will lose us...except we are in for the night: flash forward, grey's anatomy, private practice. Ooo, the most exciting bit happened just as the final credits rolled (the "hobbit" said two lines to the guy from "coupling"), will it be enough to hook us in??<br /><br />Of the new series, if you get them, we like "Bored to Death" and "The Good Wife". We LOVE the new comedy "Modern Families". "Dexter" (season four) has returned to strength, "Mad Men" is holding its own, and "House" is still strong. Not totally sure about "The Mentalist" but that might be because we felt a bit cheated by the final episode of season one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
