semisweet: (misc. tv's an addiction.)
dude, where are the leaked pilots? i feel like i had pilots this time last year. WANT PILOTS.

anyway, i was just poking around in [livejournal.com profile] fallpreview and it reminded me of the sneak preview thingies i saved on youtube, so i thought i would post them here in case anyone wants to be prematurely excited about tv that may or may not end up sucking ass with me.

anyway, four shows about which i am particularly enthused:

dirty sexy money (ABC): Power, privilege and family money are a volatile cocktail thrust on an idealistic lawyer when he inherits the job of tending to the legal (and sometimes illegal) needs of the absurdly wealthy Darlings of New York City. Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland, Jill Clayburgh and William Baldwin star in this younger, sexier, redheaded stepchild of Dallas and Dynasty.

(soapy goodness y/y? and i kind of heart samaire armstrong.)

chuck (NBC): Zachary Levi (Less Than Perfect) plays Chuck, a nerdy computer tech who has a database of government secrets downloaded into his brain. Chuck soon finds himself recruited by John Casey (Adam Baldwin), a veteran NSA Agent, for espionage work with his new partner (and first date in ten years) Sarah (Yvonne Strzechowski) -- leading Chuck to live a split life of computer geek and secret NSA missions.

(chuck is kiiiiind of adorable. also OMG JAYNE! ♥)

pushing daisies (ABC): Pushing Daisies is a love story about a pie-baking young man with a very special gift... the ability to return dead people briefly back to life with just a simple touch -- enabling him to help a P.I. crack murder cases by asking victims to name their killers. Director Barry Sonnenfeld, writer-producer Bryan Fuller, and the producers of Fish blend romance, crime procedural and high-concept fantasy to create a fairytale in the spirit of Amelie, Stranger than Fiction, and Chocolat.

(i ♥ high-concept tv.)

gossip girl (CW): Based on the popular book series of the same name, this drama gives viewers a peek into the world of privileged teenagers on an elite private school in New York City. The story is written by The O.C.'s Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage, and directed by Mark Piznarski who has worked on series like Everwood and Veronica Mars. (fyi: kristen bell is the voice of gossip girl.)

(i'm thinking this might make me miss the oc a little less. maybe. hopefully.)
semisweet: (d-m. best dundies ever!)
a few quick thoughts on the emmy nominations:

  • i am ecstatic over jenna fischer's nom. ♥ (and aw, she blogged.)
  • also completely thrilled for rainn wilson.
  • unsurprised but always happy for steve.
  • yay for the office in general!
  • really disappointed that dexter got no love in the major categories. (also BSG but that's par for the course.)
  • i love masi oka as much as the next girl, but i'm still not sure why he gets nominated for acting awards; i just don't see it.
  • SO OVER grey's anatomy, although i'm totally happy for the nominated actors. and glad for no ellen pompeo, lol.
  • i looooove boston legal, but it really isn't a drama. it and desperate housewives should switch.
  • furious and honestly kind of heartbroken over FNL snubs. really, i can't even talk about it right now. utterly disappointed.

    more later, maybe.
