I don't recall any year in the past that had so many TV shows I was interested in, it seems to me that scripted TV is returning with a vengeance (thank heavens). I imagine that soon a few of them will be canceled and I'll return to my normal TV viewing habits (where there is only something good on every other night, instead of every night).
I've already given up on 'Back to You', which is sad because I did want to see Adam Busch's role in the show.
I was very disappointed by 'Bionic Woman', they recast Jamie's sister: when I saw the pilot at Comic con the younger sister was a very angry deaf girl who really connected with Jamie (you know, Michelle Ryne) in a very intense sisters arguing way that really added the grounding in humanity that that character needs. The new sister has no connection at all that I could see, and it kind of cut the heart out of the show IMO. Of course I still love seeing both Katee Sackoff and Mark Sheppard, but will that be enough to keep me interested?
I agree that the writing for 'Moonlight' is really disappointing, but I do like all three of the regular actors: the Vampire Mick is adorable, Jason Dohring's character is very funny, and personally I really like Sophie Myles as Beth. She does look a lot like Elizabeth Roem from Angel, but is a wonderful British actress (she played the Girl in the Fireplace, and I understand that she is David Tennant's real life girl friend) and I think she is better than the role she is playing. Oh, and I like Beth's snarky boss at the newspaper, she was funny and I hope we'll see more of her. This is the show most likely to be canceled, but I'll probably be watching until it is.
Of the geeky guys with powers shows I am loving both Chuck and Reaper, both are really a lot of laughs and excitement. They kind of remind me of Ugly Betty: comedies that really add to my enjoyment of life.
