Dare I ask which shows this year I could have watched to have been anything like PD? LOL!!! Seriously though, I can't say I've seen a single movie or show that you've mentioned above. *blush*
See, this is why I assumed this isn't the show for you! *lol* If you haven't seen a single of those movies, you're obviously not drawn to this kind of storytelling! *tongueout*
I'd say what turns me off the most from what I know of the show is that it's about solving murder mysteries. I just don't know if I can find the will to watch another of those. :( I am this close to just dropping Bones and waiting for the dvd.
They don't solve murder mysteries, well, not the way you think of it anyways. It's far far away from procedurals or crime shows. They just awaken the (very disgruntled) deceased, asking them for their murderer, dropping them dead again and then collect the reward! It's kind of a quick opportunity to make some cash. *lol* While they do try to find out in the Pilot why Ned's long lost childhood sweetheart was killed (which would constitute as solving a murder mystery), it's done in a such unique way, I promise you, shows like Bones wouldn't even come near entering your mind! Hehe ... I don't know of course how the show unfolds and where their focus will lie in the future, but I can't wait to find out!
It's so weird that you think of me as dark and against light and sweet feelings. Granted I love my niche of action/adventure shows, and feel compelled to at least try any relatively interesting scifi/fantasy shows. After all the other bells and whistles that draw me in, what really what it always comes down to is heart and whether the show has a positive and hopeful message or caring about its characters.
Maybe it's because we found our common grounds with rather dark shows like AtS, SN and FL. Although I do know that you watch shows like OC or Passions as well, but PD is nothing like that either. Maybe you'll just sneak a peak at the ABC site for PD, 'cause I think I am not completely able to explain it further without those movie examples. *g* I do know that you love hopeful and upbeat shows/movies, I just wasn't sure if this kind of Roald Dahl-ish storytelling was your 'thing'.
Chuck is on my to-watch list, just didn't get around to see it yet. I know that you liked Bionic Woman though, which I just found horrible, to be honest. You didn't like GG, which I loved, so we have yet to find a common light-hearted show. :D
