Wednesday TV Picks
With the fall TV season in full swing we are periodically going to suggest shows to watch, especially on days when network competition appears tough. Wednesday, my friends, is just one of those days.
Tonight’s TV picks:
I already watched the "Jericho" pilot, the new CBS drama that debuts tonight at 8. My recommendation – if you can – tape “Jericho� and tune into the new “Bones� (Fox, 8 p.m.), which is a much better show.
Don’t get me wrong, if “Jericho� really turns into a drama about World War III: That would be pretty cool. But I doubt the network has the guts to touch religion, which we all know would ignite such a war.
At 9 p.m. I’m going with Fox’s "Justice," a fast-paced legal drama that is quickly growing on me. Two questions for the show’s producers: Is the defendant always going to be innocent? Will this Dream Team of defense lawyers ever suffer a loss? So far, each defendant won his/her case and was really innocent of any crime. C’mon Fox, ya gotta mix it up.
While seeking "Justice," I’d tape CBS’ “Criminal Minds,� which airs at the same time. The solid criminal drama is back for a second season.
And at 10 p.m., give NBC’s “Kidnapped� a look.
Looks like a dirty fresh evening of TV. Enjoy.

How was Jericho? I missed it.
Thats the problem they are going to have with the serial dramas, we have to choose which ones to watch because it is a commitment.
I only watch TV a couple nights a week (right now, its only for Prison Break).. then mostly the news networks.
I'm looking forward to Galactica.. love the webisodes at scifi.com. Its a great idea to tide us over between seasons..
Then.. its back to 24 in January.
Gotta keep myself from sittin in front of that box too much.

Jericho looked like a dud to me. Let's see what happens in the second episode. This is basically "Lost" set in the middle of Kansas.

Jericho was a real disappointment.
Just about every technical detail was wrong.
My opinion: Jericho is a poorly done Hollywood knockoff of a very good 1950s book titled ALAS BABYLON.
Recommendation: Read the book; trash the show.
