We've seen some good shows and some less than stellar offerings...more on that later. More than any other I'm totally excited for the hour long (and 3 more to follow) episode the office. It's like getting an extra scoop of ice cream for free. And as Mike points out it's like our old friend office is coming home...welcome back office, we missed you...thank God we had your home movies to keep us company while you were gone. I'm also looking forward to CSI and finding out what happens to Sarah, etc. If office is our old friend returning. CSI is our favorite uncle we haven't seen in a while. As for Bionic..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...oh sorry must have nodded off....Woman. Sooooooo disappointed! I really wanted to like this show. It looked great with the whole darker edgier feel than the original (but then Teletubbies is darker than the original), but it has definitely gotten off to a slow start. I like the other cast members, but Jaime just isn't very good. I'm willing to give it another week, but in a season of overcrowded DVR's, it had better get good quick.

The lead was kind of blah, agreed. I still don't think she's a Jennifer Garner rip-off, or else she'd be much better looking :) Smallville isn't a sidenote, but it just doesn't compare to The Office for me. But I am excited about it for sure...I think the preview I saw last night got me a bit pumped to see it. I'm still worried about Supergirl though. And Jina...you're so mean :) Totally agree Cap’n…Smallville’s effects are much better, and you’d think for a pilot, Bionic would have spent a bit more money on that stuff.

And I would say it did not live up to it. The supposed bad guys are more interesting than the good guy (er, woman). Michelle Ryan, didnt convince me in her role. For mainstream TV, the effects were a bit cheesy as well (running scenes, heck Smallville does a great job of displaying speed, and I imagine at a lesser budget than NBC, but it's a 'side note' so its ok). I will give it another chance, but so far through the week of new shows and even returning ones, Journeyman I thought was the best so far.

Thank God. Please be as good as always! Secondly, in the 23 minutes that I did watch Bionic Woman, I was insanely amused by the subpar acting of the lead, who (and Mike disputes this) is a total rip-off of Jennifer Garner on Alias. But I knew I had to go to bed because I couldn't bear hurting my Mikey's feelings every time I inevitably giggled at his BSG spin-off show. :) Love you babe!
