TV’s top 10 in a year that rebounded from a poor start

December 29, 2008

The Philadelphia Daily News listed their Top 10 TV Shows That Rebounded From A Poor Start:

6. "Supernatural," the CW; "Torchwood," BBC America; "Doctor Who," Sci Fi

Don't make me pick just one genre favorite! The unheralded but excellent "Supernatural" is by far the most consistent of the three, packing meaty thrills, dude-tastic humor and solid storytelling into each episode.

"Torchwood" is by far the cheekiest and sexiest of the trio, and it was even more satisfying in its frequently imaginative and compelling second season.

"Doctor Who" was the most maddeningly inconsistent of the three, but when it worked, its mixture of wicked humor, slightly skewed sci-fi storytelling and poignant relationship drama was satisfying indeed. And David Tennant was simply brilliant as the Doctor; he'll be missed when he exits the role after a series of 2009 specials.

On TV and Supernatural

December 29, 2008

From Michele Greppi of Television Week TV feature:

"She’s paid to make gratuitous suggestions: […]

Why not have the Winchester brothers’ late and oh-so-lamented dad return from the dead once more on The CW’s highly entertaining and increasingly sophisticated “Supernatural” and bring with him Izzie, with whom he’s been having a ghostly affair on ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy”? Or so The Insider hears. She fell out of love and contact with “Anatomy” when the writers began relying on sexual musical chairs to drive the plots.

“Supernatural” remains high on the list of fan-f***ing-tastic but underappreciated shows that deserve bigger audiences than they’re getting."
