Okay, I admit to not knowing anything about the Terminator movies. but what’s up with the “he is not gay.” Was he in the movie? Just curious. Maybe I should rent the movies while nothing is on this summer. Can’t wait for Parker Posey and Lauren Ambrose in “jezebel.”

4:20PM: FOX is promising only good shows this season. Which will no doubt be a change from the previous UpFronts where they promised medicore shows.

*lol* Maybe they didn’t promise it but they sure did it anyway
This year I will only get into “The Return of Jezebel James”. I won’t start another FOX show until it has been renewed for another season. I can’t stand it anymore to start liking a show and two weeks later it vanishes into thin air.
So, you liked TRoJJ, TV addict? Was it anything like GG or completely different? Because Ausiello said he found it “surprisingly generic”… Well, I’ll watch the pilot anyways, still it’s interesting to hear different opinions about it.
What other shows did appeal to you during the Upfronts? I’m trying to narrow down my list of pilots I’ll watch because so far almost every pilot is on it *g* I’m afraid to miss out on something good. Happened with FNL, only got into that through like halfway of the season…

I headed over to fox.com and watched some clips of “Back to you” and it looks like it will be good. Almost Sports Night-like(not totally, just a few parts of the “Sports Night” formula). The fast, snappy dialogue, the walking/talking routine.

Tritto the “Lost Room” love. But I’m not holding my breath. I don’t think the ratings were good enough for a series.

I think I saw him taking a drink in that last New Amsterdam clip, so I’m thinking the alcoholic thing might have just been a teaser. Or not.

I thought the K-Ville footage looked great!

Sarah Connor Chronicles.. well I like it, but most of the country aren’t sci-fi nerds. Summer Glau can’t hurt.

Yeah, Julianne is not enough to make me watch a show. And I agree, The Lost Room was really good. The way it ended left me with hope that it may return as a series.

Is SCC (aka terminator light) sci-fi-y? Special effects? Or just kinda chase scenes? (I always hate sci-fi set in the present… it seems like a cheap route so you can avoid doing futuristic – aka cool – stuff)

I’d rather have seen Sci-Fi pick up that miniseries Julianne did: The Lost Room. That was really good and had great potential for a series. To be honest, I’m not interested in her enough to tune in to this. And isn’t there some kind of rule that there can only be so many shows on the airwaves at one time with the word “Law” in the title?
