Hot TV Week Jericho, Big Brother, Eli Stone

It seems like it has been 7 years, but at last we are going to get Jericho back. It's been so long I'm not sure that I have any idea what is going on anymore, but I remember it had gotten REALLY dark at the end. I hope they don't make the same mistake as Prison Break. LISTEN UP TV EXECs Women will put up with a certain amount of dark and violent stuff as long as you hang out the possibility of a romance - kill the romance - kill the show. Don't mess it up by focusing too heavily on the dark stuff. Just for the record - When they revealed Sarah's head in the box on Prison Break, I turned it off - I didn't wait for a commercial - the TV went off and Prison Break has not been on in our home since. I have never stopped watching a show in the middle of a show - EVER, until now.

Big Brother is returning too. I'm not sure how I feel about that. We love Big Brother in the summer - but in the winter I need a little heavier fare - just like food. Don't be serving up salad in the dead of winter, when everyone wants a big bowl of hot mash potatoes. We'll see. I like the spin of creating couples.

And I have to say in this world of television gone mad - ELI STONE is the clear victor. Hot show, great cast, wonderful hook, great musical tie in - this is the one show not to miss! It's Saturday and I'm already looking forward to next Thursday's episode. It's almost made me forget that I am missing Grey's Anatomy, ER and Men in Trees. That's about the best compliment I can give.
