    IT IS SO GOOD! Okay, I just watched all the episodes today, and Monday can't come any sooner! Theater, Music, and amazing talent all in one freakin show is too much for me to handle. I feel like a freak right now about this show.

    Smash is everything I had hoped Glee would be, without all the stupid high school crap. Touch looks very interesting too.

    I don't care about anything else other than Alcatraz and Touch. My TV has been out so I missed Touch but I'm sure I'll see it come on again and if it's good, I'll keep watching it.
    But I just love Alcatraz, it got off to a slow start but I always give things a few episodes to pick up and it did pick up. <3

    The music sounds as good as Glee. The TV musical has arrived. And those in charge of the show also did the Oscar winning movie Chicago...which was very good.

    Ugh... it hasn't even been established that they're ghosts or anything other than human yet. Only that they all just vanished off the island before it closed down and then just reappeared, supposedly with an alt. motive or mission to accomplish. We just don't know what yet. They mystery is in finding out why they vanished and why they're back.

    But they never said anything about ghosts...

    I see I'm not alone in lacking interest in anything new Simon Cowell puts out, and put him in a project with Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, and I'm REALLY not jazzed about it. Most of the other new shows listed are either lame, or I don't even know who the stars of them are. The show I'm most excited about is "Touch." Of course, I'm excited about ANYTHING starring Kiefer Sutherland. I don't know what it is, but that guy is SMOKING hot!

    Awww...it's a toss up between Touch and Smash! I'm gonna go with Touch though, because Smash is more a flight of fancy, all decadent and joyful (ala Glee), Touch is more on par with the things that I've been noticing in the world lately. After being distracted for so long, I'm liking the wool being removed from my eyes, and don't want much coming in the way of keeping on track! People are becoming more aware of their surroundings every single second, and it is inspiring, and it gives me so much hope. I just posted something about this on my tumblr, if you want to read it, go to:

    along with GCB, Alcatraz, and Napoleon Dynamite. I'd have to say that FOX has some pretty good stuff going on.

    As for the rest, never watched "the office", don't watch "Dancing with the Stars" "X Factor" "American Idol" and such - so the Cowell/ Smith thing will be another no. Don't know how a series about horses is going to be different than all the movies about the same thing. And "Smash"? I'd already forgotten what it was about.
