The good, the bad and the ugly

While I was away I was lucky enough to see a bunch of the new shows. The two I liked were Dirty Sexy Money on ABC which stars Peter Krause as a lawyer trying to keep a Kennedyesque family out of trouble and Cane on CBS which has Jimmy Smits as the head of a Cuban family in Miami. However I am not sure either of them are going to make it. While good there are not great...yet. DSM will be on Channel 4 next year with Cane on ITV1. That network also have the much raved about Pushing Daisies which I am yet to see.
All the rest was pretty disappointing, Bionic Woman (ITV2) is boring and Michelle Ryan out-acted by everybody else on screen, Life starring Damien Lewis is lifeless. Lewis is a great actor in a lousy show. Back To You(c4) starring Kelsey Grammar looks like show from back in the eighties. Reaper (C4) is very funny but how on earth they can keep it going for a whole season remains to be seen. Journeyman (SKY One) is a rehashed Quantum Leap. Lets hope there's better stuff on the horizon.
