TV: Week of January 8

Pick of the Week

House of Lies is about a management consultant firm where the consultants have questionable morals in order to make the most money off their clients. I’m most looking forward to this show, even though critics seemed split on it. Some really like the black comedy and the outstanding cast of Don Cheadle and Kristen Bell. Others find it soulless. I really want to like it since I would love to find something worthy of Kristen Bell’s talent after Veronica Mars.

Trailer

Synopsis: After thinking that Booth and Bones finally got it on, it turned out to be a dream Booth had after brain tumor surgery. He also seems to have amnesia.

My Take: I just wrote about how it took another chance, but the show won me over with the great chemistry between the cast and I love how literal Bones can be about everything.

TV: Week of September 1st

Category: TV,Upcomingvelveetahead @ 7:17 pm

Even though the official premiere week isn’t until the fourth week in September, FOX and CW are coming on strong by premiering their shows this week and next. I guess summer is over!

Willing To Try

Bones
Channel: FOX
Time: 8/7c
Premieres: Wed, Sep 3(two-hour premiere)
Starring: Emily Deschanel, David Boreanaz, Michaela Conlin, Eric Millegan, T.J. Thyne, Tamara Taylor, John Francis Daley
Trailer

Synopsis: A forensic anthropologist works with an FBI Special Agent on cases where they fight and bicker and flirt with one another. The season premiere takes place in London and was actually filmed there too.

My Take: The show annoyed me during the pilot. I saw no chemistry between the two leads, even though I love David Boreanaz. It was just trying too hard. I have never seen an episode since, but I have seen some trailers where the chemistry is improved and I enjoyed laughing at the two interact with one another. I’m willing to give it another shot. Also, I’m a sucker for any show, even just an episode, being shot in London.
