ABC Fall Premiere

What's going on folks? Well it's time to move on to ABC. I only have two shows I watch on ABC but they are fantastic shows and one of the shows will probably go down in TV history as the best show ever and that would be the almighty LOST!!!



What can be said that hasn't been said about Lost? It has become one of the most watched shows in TV history. It has a damn good looking cast who can actually act. It has twists, turns, more twists, more turns, and just when you think you have LOST all figured out, it leads you into a whole different direction. This show has such a large following that there are numerous websites dedicated to solving the mystery of this show. My favorite is DarkUFO. There is one writer on that site who I personally think has the show figured out. His moniker is Vozzek69. I highly recommend checking out his synopsis' after each episode, he really does catch a lot that you may miss within the show. I've read all his columns and have gone back and watched the episodes and saw this stuff I missed in the second viewing thanks to his columns. And yes this a show I watch at least twice to make sure I didn't miss anything. The only bad thing about LOST is that it doesn't start until next February but the flip side is that they will show all the episodes and not have any repeats or go away for a hiatus. Now that is awesome. As I said above there isn't much that can be said about LOST that hasn't been said before, please check this show out.


Ok the other show I enjoy is Pushing Daisies.





PD came out last year and fortunately got picked up this season even though it got hit by the writer's strike last year. This is a very interesting show. It involves a man whose name is Ned and he has the ability to bring people back from the dead for one minute by touching them. If he lets them live past that one minute then someone in the vicinity dies and he cannot touch that person he brought back to life or they will die again. Initially Ned uses his power to solve crimes where people were murdered to claim the reward money. His partner, or should I say ring leader Emerson, is a PI who basically "uses" Ned for his power to "help" claim the reward. It's a pretty interesting dynamic between these two and ultimately they both become good friends in a dry friend way. It does all come to a head when Ned finds his long lost love Chuck, who was murdered and decides to let her live. I highly recommend checking out that episode because Emerson's freak out over almost dying is great comedic acting. There are so many little nuances to this show, the fact that Ned can never touch Chuck again because if he does she will die is great storytelling. It is really great how they try to get around this BIG issue. BTW Ned saved his dog also and he can't touch him either which has him bring out an interesting tool to pet his dog. I really do recommend checking out this show. It really is something special.


Well I think that's about it. I'll have Fox up later this week. I hope everyone is having a good day and if you have someone to hug definitely give them a hug today.
