Preview Part 2

Channel 4 have not picked up as much this season as in previous years. They've got less money to spend and got burnt last year by buying several shows that got cancelled. Everyone seems very high on Reaper. This CW show is about a young guy looking for the easy way out, who decides to be a bounty hunter for the devil. I think it looks very ordinary indeed and I suspect may be bound for T4. Kevin Smith directed the pilot.



Also underwhelmed by the Big Bang Theory about two geeks who live next door to a beautiful woman. Looks like a warmed over version of Weird Science from about twenty years ago. It comes from Chuck Lorre who helmed Dharma and Greg and sadly Two and a Half Men.


Finally, one to get excited about. Dirty Sexy Money has a fabulous cast incouding Peter Krause, William Baldwin, Donald Sutherland and Jill Clayburgh and is the story of a lawyer hired to protest the interests of a misbehaving Kennedy style dynasty . It airs on ABC this autumn and Channel 4 next year. Its written by Craig Wright who has Brothers and Sisters and Six Feet Under on his cv. Peter Horton directed the pilot.


Tomorrow we will check out ITV's pick-ups.
