Friends and avid T.V. watchers, I have some sad news. Most of the new fall shows have been nothing short of a major disappointment.
FLASHFORWARD’s premiere was decent, but every new episode is a further step towards boredom & bad writing. The show’s ratings are not looking good either.
I was really looking forward to MELROSE PLACE. unfortunately, this new instalment is a pale copy of the original and looks like a dusty piece of furniture buried in a 1980s cave. The show’s future looks more than uncertain at this point.
V is also becoming a major disappointment. The series’ weakness is the same as flashforward’s : one-dimensional characters you can’t really root for, an action plot that’s too simple and moves too slowly and, surprisingly enough, not enough money on screen : how many times will we keep seeing those same 3 settings and 15 extras ? The good news is ABC is taking actions and putting the show on “creative hiatus” .
Interestingly, V and FLASHFORWARD share the same traits : they were overhyped before they went to air and disappointed with weak character development. This was especially shocking for FLASHFORWARD which was hyped as the new LOST, which is the epitome of great character development. . How could we not be disappointed ?
Most of the ratings in this post come from my favorite ratings blog : TV BY THE NUMBERS – Thanks you !
