Greys - the show everyone's into - how did ABC manage that? hella promotion, goodlooking people, dumb-mass-relatable-reflective dialogue esp voiceover (the Seriously? bit and that same tone in lots of comments and eeeeech 'mcdreamy' eech I dislike even typing it). angelica says it's the only show she's looking forward to, that's along with 35% who responded to the poll on fall preview msnbc where the other 7 or so shows had only 4-5% each...
what I do like on it: I like Meredith's looks, I like the looks of both her guys Flynn and Derek. in the finale I like Callie saying 'wait' and tying Meredith's dress for her after walking in on her & Derek and telling Meredith she needs to go to Izzie. more substantially I am moved by Izzie crying and Alex holding her, I like Alex the character and the actor I think is good.

James Carville is cool. on Colbert - "yes I am a very important personage" - he is ~ exec producer of forthcoming movie All the Kings Men.
starring Sean Penn, I dig him.
and Kate Winslett, this is the movie she's in right? fametracker advise to someone - "be more Kate Winslett, less Kate Hudson."

below Laurel-tvpicks says Jericho is not the typical CBS show... ggl 'typical CBS' :
With bad guys winning, Smith turns tables on typical CBS drama: South Florida Sun-Sentinel: 'Smith' turns CBS on its head. On the network built around dramas in which good always triumphs over evil, 'Smith' glorifies a band of thieves who have no compunction about gunning down innocent people who complicate their capers.
CBS is the network of CSI right? wh I've never watched but I guess there's lots of CSIs so that's what they're saying the network "is built around." plus Without a Trace and Cold Case - same guy behind them right ~ Buckheimer ~ Jerry sth ~ below?
yep posted by maro # 9/09/2006 07:51:00 PM USAtoday re Justice (Fox):Currently TV's hottest production house, Jerry Bruckheimer's team uses high-gloss sheen and technological shimmer to reinvent the old-style mystery procedural, reinvigorating TV in the process.The results are on display in Without a Trace, Cold Case, Close to Home and the CSI trilogy — all extremely well-cast, impeccably produced, crisply written and wildly successful. ok and all on CBS.
and: `Shark' attack: James Woods bites into new CBS drama:
While Woods, 59, is in the age range of typical CBS viewers, the network wants to reach out to a more advertiser-desirable demographic. ...
so CBS gets an older audience than NBC and ABC?
ABC seems to be going for young - well 20s and 30s maybe - Greys, DespH, Six Degrees now. BostonLegal appeals to older adults but ABC doesn't promote it much right?
...So Stark gets a staff of raw young assistant district attorneys, none of them tough to look at: Sophina Brown, Sarah Carter, Alexis Cruz, Sam Page and Romy Rosemont. In a bid to attract an even younger audience, Shark provides the divorced Stark with a 16-year-old daughter (Danielle Panabaker) who decides she wants to live with her father. He's too complex and interesting to miss.
