Fall Season
by Jaclyn Abergas on September 30th, 2008TV News
Lots of US TV programs have started the fall season since September 1, and a lot more are expected to start until the middle of October. What are you looking forward to watching? Have you liked what you've watched since the start?
There aren't a lot of good shows that have started yet. Gossip Girl has started and is always something I look forward to every week. It's not what I would have liked, as expected, but it started that way last season also. Hopefully, it will pick up by the fourth or fifth episode.
Beverly Hills 90210 was a big disappointment....
Fringe, Does NOT Define the Fringe of Sci-FI

Um, not so much.
Where should I start?
1. Characters
Almost all the characters were very predictable and very flat. I felt no sympathy nor joy for the characters whatsoever. When the lead actress and actor (the Brandon and Brenda Walsh of the series) got into trouble, I felt no sympathy for them because I couldn't relate to what they were going through. It's almost as if the writers depended on people knowing the stereotypes to...
CSI With a Killer Twist
by B Kenney on September 2nd, 2008Drama
Who would think a series, centered on a forensic blood splatter expert working for the Miami Dade police, would end up being so unique and involving of its own accord? Dexter, an incredibly brilliant drama series, answers the previous question without a single clouding doubt.
The show rightfully can be described as CSI with a killer twist. The forensic involvements of the show do seem somewhat similar in areas, but the show also has its own original contribution which helps it stand out above other drama series in the genre.
Imagine, a young man, Morgan Dexter,...
