2009 Previews

Bob started a discussion on Three Rivers and it looked interesting enough to share with everyone. I really like O'Laughlin and am happy to see him back so quickly after Moonlight was cancelled.

[Cat]

Normally I would agree with you, since I don't care for witchcraft but since Moonlight, I've pulled back a little on Vampires. That was a really good show, even if he WAS a Vampire! I think I may have used the interview that he did to promote it as the clue. If it did you can still see it in the 2000s group (Show 2164). Just go into the decase, view all, and search for the number. Gotta love databases that give you things like that number at a moments notice!

One episode and I cancelled series. How stupid to play off the movie. This one will die before the end of November, if it even gets that far.

[Karen]

interesting idea of the 3 different perspectives in a medical drama...
maybe will make it different from the glut of medical drama tv shows?

[Cat]

I think you're right, Three Rivers might fly. There's another NBC med drama coming called Trauma that might be trying to replace the defunct ER.

What if you were shown a glimpse of your future, but didn't like what you saw? How hard would you fight and what would you sacrifice to keep it from coming true? When an unexplained, cataclysmic event knocks out the entire population of the world at the exact same moment, for two minutes and 17 seconds, everyone will see a glimpse of their own future. Then they will wake up to chaos. From his flash forward, LA FBI Agent Mark Benford is able to piece together the 'when' April 29, 2010, but he's desperate to figure out the 'why' and stop what's coming because it's a future he doesn't want to see. In the future, Mark's beloved wife has left him for the father of one of her patients. He's started drinking again, his loyal partner's been murdered and masked operatives are hunting him down. Before long, everyone starts asking themselves and each other, "What did you see?" As Mark and his team struggle to figure out what caused this bizarre event and wonder will it happen again, the only thing they have to go on is a huge mosaic of people's flash forwards.

Flash forward...sounds interesting...but if made by the creators of Lost...well I really tried to like Lost...but found it hard to follow
the plot...then it would be off the air for a bit... so I lost interest in Lost.
Hope this one is better

[Cat]

I didn't get Lost in Lost so will watch the final season next year. I'm not sure about Flash Forward but will give it a chance! They've only ordered 13 episodes, so if it doesn't make it it will be known as Flash (in the pan) Foward. LOL

[Karen]

very clever...lol...love play on words!!

I'd like to know how you kept up with Lost. Seemed everytime
I tried to watch it...it was off...what was the dark cloud like "being"
that was attacking people? I lost the plot line...then as I said I
stopped watching it. Was this one of the shows off during the
writer's strike??

[the Captain]

FIRST--at least this seems to be based on an original concept! BRAVO! Secondly--it should keep you off balance most of the time--GOOD! (A truly good show isn't a "comforter"--it should make you think and question --both--it --yourself--and even "Reality" itself!) I look forward to this one!!!

[Juli]

So far, hanging in there, but not sure how much longer. My attention span is pretty short these days. Get bored too fast.

The Forgotten

"The Forgotten (2009)" Cast

•Michelle Borth played Candace Butler
•Bob Stephenson played Walter Snell
•Anthony Carrigan played Tyler Davies
•Rochelle Aytes played Grace Olivo
•Reiko Aylesworth played Linda (Unaired Pilot)


Gone but not forgotten. That's what they say. But what if a killer took your life and your name? Every city has its share of unidentified murder victims. When standard police procedure fails to give them a name, that's when the Identity Network steps in. A group of dedicated, amateur detectives, the members of the Identity Network attempt to reconstruct the pieces of these John and Jane Doe's lives from what little evidence is left behind. Each episode is narrated by a "body" who watches the team as they pursue the tantalizingly difficult challenge of figuring out who this victim once was. Why would anyone volunteer for such a grim task? As new recruit Tyler Davies quickly discovers, each of the members of the team has his or her own reasons for volunteering for the Network. Alex Donovan is a former cop, whose 11-year-old daughter was kidnapped and has never been found. Linda Manning, the woman who runs the network from her home, is a virtual recluse whose husband is a convicted murderer. Walter Bailey does stake outs when he's not blowing his cover. Candace Butler hates her day job. She also happens to have a special gift for putting people at ease even the prickly Tyler, a talented sculptor with a background in forensics. Follow these committed amateur investigators as they race against time to piece together the stories of these dead people's lives and ultimately, hopefully, their murders.

[Karen]

Interesting to have the outlook of the murdered victim as part of
the plot...so many police/crime dramas, as well as the the esp
types who help solve crimes on TV...this may be an interesting twist,
but don't know if the premise has staying power.
