Fall TV 2010: Monday's Premieres (PHOTOS)

The Office. Thats pretty much all you need to know watch and live.

TV is getting like Broadway. Why a revival like Hawaii Five-O? Where is all the original writing
(oh no, not another "cop" show!) unless it is a take on a "Lost" type show with convoluted plots that are too tough to think about at the end of the day- literally.

Seems, beside Mad Men and PBS the only alternatives are those dreadful Bravo TV or E reality shows. With 150 channels, that seems a shame.

Chase: Bad acting, fake.
The Event: Cannot do it again, commit to years of not knowing after being a Lost fan.
Dancing with the Stars: I hate Sarah Palin so will not watch.

Hawaii 5-0 was pretty good. I have no interest in the other shows offered.

Chuck -- campy fun, as always, but starting to show it's age.
Lone Star -- No guns, car chases, vampires, wormholes....but I might still watch it. The ladies are cute.
The Event - Liking the story, but not the timeline jumping. You've got four story lines going already. Keep them in chronological order at least!
Castle -- Hard to keep the sexual tension going, but they manage. Fun show.
Hawaii 5-0 - Gorgeous Hawaiian scenery (inc. Grace), nice action, the plot is a little unbelievable, but okay. Since I'm in Arizona, i'll probably keep watching just for the water and the lush vegetation.
Chase -- the clear LOSER of the night. I had to stop watching after 8 minutes as the exposition was so unbelievably clunky. It was as if it was written by someone for whom English was a second language -- learned last week. Complete waste of time.

I don't normally watch DWTS (all those BOOBS in your face!) But I love Margaret Cho, and was curious about Bristol. Bristol surprised me - she was beautiful, likeable, and I loved her little red dress. Enjoyed watching her dance. Hey - don't blame the poor kid for her lunatic of a mother. And Margaret - don't let the Turkeys get ya down. You GO, girl.

Are there any minorities on T.V.?

Hawaii 5-0 was pretty good, a little too shoot-em-up & action-oriented. Some over-the-top gunfight scenes (but at least guns run out of ammo eventually).
There was the core of some intelligent plotting (Was McGarrett's dad on to deep corruption at Honolulu PD? Did Coast Guard find body of weapons trafficker who fell in harbor?)
Decent chemistry between McGarrett and Williams (largely due to Caan) and McGarrett and Chin. Five-0 team will need some techie/brainwork/researcher types; will be unbelievable if these 4 do everything w/o supporting members.

I started to watch Lone Star, but then I saw they had a teabagger birth in the cast and quickly changed the channel.

The Event may possibly turn out to be a good show, but it definitely annoyed me. I suspect I may be done with these byzantine, twisty-turny, never-ending mega-mystery shows. Just tell me a freaking story already. I found the fast-paced intercutting of characters and timelines disconcerting - Donnie Doodlebug, 5 minutes ago; Captain Spamhammer, 11 days ago; Dr. Deep, 6 months ago. Pick a timeline and stick with it, for pity's sake. Have mercy on those of use who come home fried from twelve hour work days - we're meant to follow this mishigos and be entertained by it?

And nothing for nothing, but Little Ritter just looked dirty. I mean really - can't he shower? Bathe? Wipe himself down with a moist towelette. He's on television; he should try not to look like he dumpster dives for dinner. Honestly, he made Ethan Hawke look clean and fresh-smelling.

The plane getting sucked into the sky was interesting. It just wasn't enough to get me to tune in next week.

Liked the Event, 5-0 ok

Although I found the constant flashback a bit confusing, I must admit, I liked The Event. The ending left me interested. I intend to continuing watching....at least the next few episodes. Unless of course it goes totally downhill.

I liked Hawaii Five-0 as well. It was actually a little better than I thought it would be. Just the luscious scenery it almost worth it (including O'Loughlin). And to whomever asked, yes they did keep the original theme song (it would have been blasphemous if not).

All I want to know about Hawaii 5-0 is, are they keeping the old theme song? If not, then I'm not interested.
