Well.... Once Upon a Time is not as bad as the promo photos, but not near as good as I hoped...
The wardrobe did seem some better, but it still felt very juvenile to me. I know a 10-year old boy is the center of it, but It feels even younger than that to me...
I'm suddenly less excited about The River. For me, shakycam is a constant reminder that I am not there, I'm just watching poorly shot footage. Though I will still watch an episode to see if that is how they film the entire thing.
Based on these promos I'm now more excited for The River and less excited for Once Upon a Time. I'm definitely not giving up on the latter, and I'm sure it'll be much better once we've gotten the contrast of the real world to ground it a bit, but as of right now it's just not what I expected.
With the exception of Work It, Last Man Standing, and probably Suburgatory, I think I'll give all the shows a chance, though at this point I don't anticipate sticking with anything other than The River, Once Upon a Time (maybe), and Revenge (maybe).
I think Charlies angels looks awesome! Gotta love action and I love all the girls! The River looks super freaky and Apartment 23 seems a little bit funny. Last Man Standing, Once Upon a Time seem awesome. The others not so much, but maybe Work It if I understand it.
I'm not seeing anything of interest, not even a single pilot I want to see. ABC would do better picking up a canceled program from another network than go with any of these.
Apt 23 - the meta references were funny, but sustainable?
Charlie's Angels - cute girls, but the clip made me think of Nikita and Parker from Leverage, so I think I'm good.
Last Man/Man Up - pass
Pan Am - has me thinking a female version of Mad Men, will check it out
Once Upon a Time - Looks interesting enough for a check out.
Revenge/Scandal/Suburgatory - Nothing original to appeal to me, most likely a pass.
The River - Blair Witch meets Lost.. It did feel a bit too obvious as the "What the hell was that?" line had me thinking of Charlie uttering, "Guys, where are we?"... but I'm a sucker for the genre, so I'll def check it out.
Work It - Really?.... I've seen bits of "Bosom Buddies" on youtube... and that seemed funnier than this, but maybe that's because Tom Hanks was one of the buddies... def pass

Apartment 23 at 1:02 :PApartment 23 at 1:02 :P
ReplyDeleteNo offence ABC, but Absolute Bull Cr%p
ReplyDeleteThat being said, I haven't heard much about 'The River.' It got me a little intriuged :P
Sure you had a LOST moment too... or a wannabe- LOST moment anyway...- LOST moment anyway...
ReplyDeleteThanks for getting these up so fast! Even if I didn't like them, I appreciate the work on your part!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't really have a LOST moment... now I think about it I probably should have :P
ReplyDeleteOnce Upon A Time definitely looks good! Can't wait.
ReplyDeleteWell it was a LOST moment without the suspense, mystery or epicness while in a confined space..... so I can't blame you for not noticing really.... XD
ReplyDeleteSo far I think Pan AM. looks good, especially since a little more of the over all plot was revealed recently...
ReplyDeleteIs there anywhere else I could watch them? They're loading so slowly and they have no sounds for me.
ReplyDeleteGod, Once Upon a Time looks awful!The River can be pretty good.I need to see trailers for the rest of them.

ReplyDeletedisapointed by Once Upon a Time guess i will like Grimm more
Really looking forward to The River!! :)
ReplyDelete"Danieeeeeeel" is the next "WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLT"
ReplyDeleteAnd for that reason, I'm out...
In all seriousness, The River may be the only one I see promise in.
