Rush to Judgement

In the event that work keeps me from making detailed posts in time, here's some quick opinions about other shows that I've watched but not talked about yet.

Reaper - Tuesday 8:00 on the CW
Funny dramedy about a slacker whose parents sold his soul to the devil. Not as flashy as Chuck, but probably funnier. Ray Wise (Leland Palmer) as the devil is a fantastic bit of casting. I'll keep watching this.

Cane - Tuesday 9:00 on CBS
Take Dallas and replace Texans with Cubans and oil with sugar and you have Cane. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is up to you.

Dirty Sexy Money - Wednesday 9:00 on ABC
Despite the horrible title, this show is a fun drama. Stars Peter Krause (Six Feet Under, Sportsnight) as lawyer for a rich family full of hilarious miscreants. Has a slight Desperate Housewives vibe to it, if you're into that sort of thing.

Moonlight - Friday 8:00 on CBS
A vampire PI solves crimes in LA and tries to keep vampire society a secret. I thought the pilot was really bland, despite liking the premise. Hopefully it'll receive an acting infusion between the first two episodes.

I still need to watch Bionic Woman, Life, Big Shots, and Private Practice (the Grey's Anatomy spin-off) from last week. I'm beginning to agree with Urrv. This is a lot of TV.

Does this PI Vamp have a soul? Because it sounds like it has been done before - Angel?

no soul so far as we have been told. He just has a soft spot in his cold, dead heart for the humans. It's not much like Angel, actually, other than the vampire part. Angel fought other monsters, while this guy fights crime. Ultimately, though, both WERE trying to win the love of a pretty young blond, so there there is that.

Ok, I need to withdraw my endorsement of Moonlight. The acting and plots are getting worse, not better.
