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.
