"Smart" Move CBS
I just finished watching a few new CBS TV shows scheduled to debut over the next two weeks.
Here’s a quick run down of the pilots:
“The Class� (Sept. 18) sports an interesting premise: A young man decides to find as many of his third grade classmates as possible and throws a party. We won’t ruin whom the party is for and what happens, but let’s just say the show falls into a familiar formula. Good idea, bad execution. Maybe there’s hope.
“Smith� (Sept. 19) stars Ray Liotta, Virginia Madsen (of “Sideways�) and features the super sexy Amy Smart. Liotta leads a gang of criminals who steal high society items like old paintings. I don’t own any old paintings so I consider them to be high society items. Am I wrong? "Smith� is fun and feels like a movie. Liotta gets to drive a speedboat…so cool. But the real reason to watch? Check out Amy Smart's picture.
“Jericho� (Sept. 20) begins rather oddly when a child (and everyone else in this small Kansas town) spots a giant nuclear mushroom cloud on the horizon. Is it World War III? As far as we know, the citizens of Jericho, Kansas are the only ones to have survived…so far. Gerald McRaney (of "Deadwood") is the only standout here.
