Summer of Hope

The blogosphere has been abuzz about Saving Hope ever since it a has been announced that Erica Durance would be headlining the show. The addition of Michael Shanks and Daniel Gillies certainly didn’t hurt the buzz.

The show is Canadian produced and is scheduled to air this summer on CTV and NBC, which has picked up the show for US airings. [NBC has it listed as premiering on June 7th].

The above promo certainly has us intrigued and we are really excited to see this show on the air.

Mama Witch is back

Wow what a twist. I never would´ve guessed that she was in the coffin. After the Katya story told so eloquently by the Original brothers (isn´t it weird that all the hot vampire brothers seem to fall in love with the same girl ?) I had a nagging feeling that the first blood bank was in the coffin. But Mama Original Witch is a nice twist. The next episodes are going to be really intriguing because of the Original family back and in action.

We are kind of sad to see Papa Forbes die and we are still confused on the whole Ring thing.

Yes they tried to technically explain it because Elena is the doppelgänger she is supernatural and she can kill Rick and he comes back but seriously it was a huge gamble.

What would these idiots have done when Rick really had died? And does 911 in that town work differently? They dial and hang up and no one follows up?

OK enough rambling.

Looking forward to more and hello TV weekend

Finders Keepers ?!

 

After two real Episodes (not counting the back-door pilot) FOX´s Finder is on a track to really find its place but there is this nagging little feeling in the back of my head that I have seen this before. A short look into my database brought me to another very different kind of detective. Shawn Spencer, anyone?!

OK The Finder is set in Florida and Psych is set in Santa Barbara but the overall tone and coloring is pretty similar. Even Shawn and Walter have some ( a lot of ) similarities. I guess they are different as to Walter has his genius trade because of his injury and Shawn is pretending to be psychic but there mannerisms in solving their cases are pretty much the same.  This does not mean that we don´t like the Finder we just felt reminded of our sweet pineapple loving friends over at USA.

And here for your entertainment the music themes for both shows:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

So now you can decide for yourselves, is The Finder a show you are going to keep watching? We most certainly are going to keep our eyes on it, even if it only is so we can see Geoff Stults on our screens again. Yes we love him .

Murder Mystery is trendy?!

The new and highly anticipated Sarah Michelle Gellar project.

The internet was abuzz when news came out for the fall season 2011. Ex-Buffy Sarah Michelle Gellar would be  headlining a new CW show. TV critics and blogger (as if that isn´t the same thing ) were all looking forward to this. The dangerous thing about highly anticipated shows is that they can dissappoint and dare I say that the switch seemed to work a little too seemlessly. The contrast between Shioban and Bridget is much bigger and it was hard to believe that no one would realise they are not talking to Shiv but okay for the sake of entertainment we`ll roll with it.

The reason why Bridget runs is a shady FBI case in which she seems to be the key witness and the guy she is supossed to flip on wants her dead. Over the course of the episodes the web of lies on all sides grows really thick and the viewers are constantly asking themselves how much of what is going on was a plan from the beginning?!

Shioban seemingly has a lot of threads in her hand and she must be incredibly intelligent, to even think of this kind of plan. But what exactly is her endgame?

This writer has seen ALIAS and other high stake mystery arch shows but as off now there is still confusion.

Patiently awaiting new episodes to see where it is all going and in fun little side plot Ringer brings us more of Jason Dohring, as the hot teacher(there are a few of those on TV right now, right).

High school meets High Fashion

Jane by Design is ABC Family`s newest addition and when you squint you can even over look the ridiculous notion that a high schooler can get the position of  PA but it has a hard stand because after Switched at Birth any show has a difficult live.

Jane Quimby is a 16 year old high school loner with a, well lets call it rebellious and forward fashion style. As any teenage girl in a TV Show she has a long time crush and a guy best friend (who is the only one who knows about her double life). Don`t run away it gets even crazier.

By the second episode this girl has to attend a fashion line preview and her winter formal at the same time, and the whole thing almost works. And naturally so the show doesn't`t blow up in a matter of seconds she manages the high fashion stuff but crumbles in the personal life section of a high schooler …. oh yeah and the old dress of her mom, which she reworked and pepped a little is sent out as the final puzzle piece of her designer bosses line (yeah I see a fun reveal coming when the line hits stores ).

Okay enough nagging … it is a fun and quirky show and it could develop into a new guilty pleasure.
