Heroes Tonight!…nah not the bar…
1 CommentIt’s a new show on NBC…In my opinion, the only show on NBC.
I am running short on time…
Watch it! I will make myself available for your Disdain If I have steered you wrong on this…but my m oney is on this being good. The JApanese character’s name is Hiro! HIRO! It’s genius!
BTW Ben told me over the weekend that the first episode was downloadable before it was aired on the itunes…it was a dirty hoax and part of an apple plot to get me to sully my lucious PC with their software. The episode will apparently be available for download after it airs.

Teachers
No CommentsI just finished watching the premiere of Teachers on NBC. I’ve read a review that speaks truth about the shows lack of creativity.
Aside from mediocrity in creativity and writing, there was good chemistry between the stars; their timings were excellent; I think it’s going to save the show, if the show is to be saved. And although it’s nice to see Sarah Alexander in something, I do miss seeing new episodes of Coupling; I’d rather have a new Coupling series.
PS - I laughed at all the stupid predictable jokes regardless. Is there something wrong with me? Probably not, we all need to turn off our brains at some time or another.

Yellow’s Anatomy
No CommentsI confess, I actually like watching Grey’s Anatomy [1] [2]. The show has the winning combination of writing (dialog and character development), acting, and being on after a highly watched tv show (I don’t watch that other show, but it helps with the ratings). Grey’s Anatomy really is a surprisingly good show.
The one thing I’ve noticed about the show is that it has an Asian flavor, while not really being an Asian Show; Sandra Oh (Sideways, 2004) plays a strong Asian main character; many guest roles are given to Asians; some stories deal with some Asian ideas. Being Chinese myself, I think that it’s a probably a good thing to have a show such as this to get away from the old Asian stereotypes in TV and movies.
And it was a pleasant surprise to see my friend’s wife, Natalie N. Okamoto, appear as the World Champion Eater on last night’s episode. She didn’t have a big part and only a few lines, but she did get face time; as opposed to her super duper small uncredited voice part on The Day After Tomorrow.
I wonder if all this is the continuation of a Asian trend, or if this show’s just a fluke. Either way, I’m hooked on Ellen Pompeo, Katherine Heigl (congrats on a landing this role, as opposed to that crappy Roswell tv show), and Sandra Oh’s performance on this show.
