television, stop being addicting

[krickets]

Ugh, upfronts. I was going to skate by and not watch anything new, and I'll be keeping an eye on Ringer and The Secret Circle, but some of the other stuff actually looks good! Just from NBC's lineup:


Awake
coming to NBC

This looks really interesting. And it cheats by using one of my favorite songs. But still. I think I will definitely watch that pilot.


Bent
starring Amanda Peet
coming to NBC

Look, I have no frame of reference if this TV show looks good or not. But I totally love me some Amanda Peet! I'm doomed! [This means I'll watch the pilot in the very least.]

I'm not totally sure how I feel about Grimm. The rest of them? Meh.

Awake is a really interesting concept. The two "dream" states should totally merge.

I'm pretty excited for Awake. Definitely one of my favorite previews.

I've been pretty excited about Awake, in no small part because of Jason Isaacs and my immense love for him. I am hoping that it's as good as it looks.

Awake looks very interesting - I'll be giving that one a chance :)

Awake wasn't even on my radar until NBC announced their schedule and now it's hands down the one I most want to see. I am amused that Dylan Minnette is making a career out of playing people that may or may not exist. The River is the other one that has me psyched even though I'm not sure how they can make things that exciting on a weekly basis.

You didn't like the trailer for Up All Night? It's the only one of the comedies that's made me giggle, but then Will Arnett is my Amanda Peet. ;)

Dude, I so wanted to like Grimm. I love David Greenwalt, but damn, that one looked awful.

I don't know, maybe they should maybe they shouldn't. ;)

Yeah it really caught me off guard how awesome it looked.

[crickets.livejournal.com]

He is pretty awesome. Although his voice in this kind of threw me, TBH. But yeah it looks quite good!

[crickets.livejournal.com]

Cool! Me too.

Yeah I hadn't heard of many of the new shows because frankly I don't pay enough attention to these things unless someone tweets about it. I keep meaning to subscribe to a magazine that will keep me more informed, because if I don't have the information right in front of me, I'm kind of not going to go looking, lol.


Hahha, he's kind of like my kryptonite. Something about him rubs me in a really bad way. I can't explain it.

Yeah I was kind of meh oh the whole Grimm thing. I also don't really like the lead guy (although if the show was good enough, I'd obviously look past it.)

I am actually kind of surprised at how gritty some of these looked. Although promos can be deceiving. It feels like the networks are taking a page from fx and amc. It looks like there's a lot of dark stuff.

One more edit: I totally forgot where that kid was from! Hahaha.

Awake looks awesome - really. And yes, I'm blaming that perfect song, too.

I was mostly bored by the trailer of Bent but it also looks like the kind of show I'd like to like! I'll keep watch. thanks for this!
