Breakout Kings

So, I might be getting a higher position at work, and that's good...I suppose. Though, I hope I can get along with my boss. AKA, I hope he doesn't make me want to quit because he's fickle and can be an ass.

Today I'm looking at Breakout Kings, which in my opinion didn't get the advertising it deserved. I didn't even know it was coming on. I just happened to see the preview for it one night and thought it looked interesting. So, when I had nothing to watch because everything good was in hiatus, I found it On Demand and decided to check it out. I really enjoyed it.

This show has a lot of promise as a unique procedural and a boasts a terrific cast, even down to it's guest stars. A&E (ignoring it's reality shows) has begun - like many of the other cable networks - to beef up it's primetime line up with quality tv series. I look forward to the return of The Glades as well as the introduction of more high caliber series.

Being Human

Well, I had intended to post this entry over 3 months ago. It's been sitting here half done with about 5 others that long, and it looks like things are only going to get busier. (Le Sigh) I've said it before and I'll say it again. 2011 is not starting out to be a very good year...though I did lose about 10 lbs. So I guess that's something to celebrate.

As far as Madness goes, well, it doesn't. Though I was recently bite by the writing bug, so it might get going again soon. I have a new angle on the title to explore, so we'll see where that goes.

Today we're looking into the American remake of a British hit. Usually, those don't go well. I loved Life on Mars. The American remake, however, was...(shiver). But, I'm happy to say that Being Human, while not amazing, is not cringe-worthy. I've seen most of the first season of both and can say with certainty that I am proud of my man Jeremy Carver...and his wife.

I'm also proud of SYFY. While we are not seeing the Golden age of Stargate and Battlestar, we are seeing what I would label as the Bronze age of Warehouse 13, Haven, and (of course) Being Human.

The Green Hornet

I've been trying to post three to four articles for around a month now. Finally, I found enough time to sit down and work on them.

Work, taxes, bills, holidays, etc. have been impeding my writing process, grr!!

On the bright side, I've created my season 1 villain for Madness now. Rene will be a badass bounty hunter hired to find our crew of misfits, who are trying to clear their names. She's got a goofy sidekick, a tracker named Wayne, and a past with Danny. Hmm...PS-I'm planning to set the show to guitar heavy hard rock. Sweet!
Now, on with the show.

Unfortunately it's the time of the year when action movies are few and far between at the theaters. It's all romantic comedies, gore-fests, and academy award hopefuls. So, when Green Hornet premiered I took the chance to go see it.

Moving Forward Little by Little

I got a lot done with the first half of Madness yesterday. I made it all the way to the midpoint, YAY!!

I'd been debating for a while if I should have the entire thing take place in the Asylum or only half of the 2-hour pilot. If not, then what half shouldn't and what would be that half's main focus. I decided I'd lead into the Asylum, since that's supposed to be the main part of the story, though I'm not sure exactly what's going to happen in the second half yet. Just that they meet Ash and Emily dies, putting them at odds with Governor Kane (named for Patrick Kane of the Chicago Blackhawks).

I'm gonna have this all planned out soon. I will!!

REPOST - $#*! My Dad Says

%@^* Blogger!! Since it deleted this section of my page somehow. It was there and then I tried to upload my Hawaii Five-0 post; and it was gone.

So, I tried to rewrite from memory what I originally wrote. It's not as great as the first time around (#*!!, what do I know, it's probably better). But, I think it still gets the same points across.

This was the fourth in a series of posts on this year's new shows. To see this review, go to the TV Tab.
