monkeybardFirst and foremost, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to devinam and lemurkitten! I'll see you ladies at the spa. :D
Now for my report on NBC Wednesday night premiers:
Bionic Woman - Underwhelming. Thoroughly meh. I enjoyed the first and last of the scenes that included Katee Sackoff, but otherwise this show left me completely "ungrippèd". I might give it one more go next week, but then I will undoubtedly go back to watching MythBusters on Wednesdays at 9:00.
Life - I had no intention of watching this, but they cleverly segued directly from the BW credits into this show. You know what? Loved it! It was funny, smart, interesting, well written, well acted. In short, it was really good. Because of this, it will never last. I will watch it until TPTB take it away, as they undoubtedly will because, as we all know, TV network execs are idiots and asswipes who have no clue what people really want to watch. But until that day, I'm in!

Date: 2007-09-28 01:44 am (UTC)As for Claudia and Life, sadly it was due to her being preggers and I think that cut into their time line. I was underwhelmed (maybe I'm just biased towards Claudia) by the chick they got to
replacetake the part she had to leave behind. Other than that and that "chief" chick I really did enjoy Life.At least you're not giving up on BW yet. I'm hoping that as it grows the writing will get better as will the directing (geez folks, let Michelle frellin' ACT!). I've yet to get into a show that the first season wasn't a bit shaky. ;)

Date: 2007-09-28 04:18 pm (UTC)My jury is still out on Michelle. I can't say she's bad because I simply haven't seen her enough. Forty-three minutes of poor writing is not a fair test of an actor's skills. ;) I expect that with better material, she too is far better.
