Watched a bunch of stuff across the weekend. -

Hawaii Five-0 [season premiere] - 4 balls. as always.

Fringe [season opener] - 2 balls. Fun but a lack of Peter in the show brings it down a bit.

Person of Interest [Pilot Episode] - 2 balls. has potential but pretty weak start. I kinda predicted things that were going to happen and the concept seems a little too far fetched for the setting.

Charlie's Angels - [pilot episode] - 1 ball - Could be good but again - very weak start. This things needs to be re-tooled immediately if they want it to last. shortcomings include the fact that Bosly is now a 'hacker' - which in hollywood terms means he can acess ANY bit of informatino they need just using an iPad. The original Bosley makes a very brief [non speaking] cameo.

The idea this time around is that Charlie hires ex-criminals, ie: cat burglars et al to be his 'angels' - could be good but it's too much like the films - all style no substance.

Two and a half men [sans charlie sheen] 0 balls - this was horrible - if the show continues in this vein it will probably see cacellation - and should.

The killed off the Character of Charlie Harper then proceeded to mock him in a way that is mean spirited and not at all funny - obvious jabs at Sheen himself. And they really didn't give Ashton much to work with so it still feels like there's a big hole in the show.

Fresh Meat [Pilot] 1 ball. britcom / dramedy...not as good as it could be but liking it so far.

Clone Wars [season 4 opener] 1 ball - not a lot happens until the end, just the setup for the rest of the story ark probably. Animation keeps looking batter and better.
