Where’s My SciFi?!?!?!?

Last night I had to watch The Deep End, Grey’s Anatomy, and Private Practice. Some might say, “hey, that’s a pretty good night of television.” No it isn’t for a scifi fan. I can’t remember a time when I watched a whole night of ABC. Of course I could have put in a movie or two, but I want my sci-fi TV. Fox is trying to throw us a bone by giving us a new show Past Life. I watched about 6 minutes and 30 seconds of it before I realized how inferior it was to Medium, besides being a wee bit slow.

Could I have watched the Olympics? Sure. I tried that the other night, and found myself bored to death by the skating event, and then I was unmoved by the women’s alpine skiing (congratulations to Lindsey Vonn and Shani Davis for their gold medals.) But after last night, I draw the line. I want Fringe, V, Bones, The Mentalist, Flash Forward, and all the other “be back in March” shows back on right now. Don’t make me have to start watching America’s Best Dance Crew, Project Runway, or some other “fun to watch” reality show.

I'm tapping my vein. I NEED some sci-fi. Thank goodness Legend of the Seeker, Smallville, LOST and Caprica is still on!

Fringe was definitely missed last night. I half watched Bones but did watch Past Life. It was okay but I probably wouldn't seek that show out. I have never watched Medium so I didn't have that to compare it to.

I think that Flash Forward will lose some viewers taking a break so early in the series. What are your thoughts on that? They're supposed to be changing directions as well, right.

When I saw the first trailer for Past Life, I thought it was kind of interesting, but for some reason, the first few minutes of the show just didn't pull me in. I have it on DVR so I might try and revisit it, but I'd have to be real bored.

I think Flash Forward and V are going to be in trouble. I told someone, who watched "V" with me, about Michael Trucco from BSG playing John May. And they looked at me and said, "Who's John May?" So, it might be harder to pull casual viewers back in considering they were losing viewers anyway. Flash Forward is in the same boat. The story was getting pretty complicated and in depth and its going to be hard to pull people back.
This is going to be similar to what happened when the writers' strike occurred, in my opinion.
