Preview here.... video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-8040155512394236633Okay, can anyone explain to me how this is a good idea?? Maybe I am just biased because I loved the first two movies so much. They will pretty much have to ignore the events the third film, I would think, depending on the timeline ( I didn't care for the third movie anyway). Anyway, I just thought it was interesting they would decide to do this now. And its FOX, which means if it is any good, it has a darn good chance of being cancelled anyway.

It hasn't aired yet here, I think it starts in January. I might or might not watch the first episode, I am still undecided. Might as well, I'm sure I have watched worse....

It's coming in January to the US, which means that no one is interested in it.

Looks pretty awful to me, though Or else they put so much money into it already, they are just crossing their fingers and hoping like hell it will be a success.... Its probably one of those that seemed like a good idea at the time, but I think there is a good chance it is going to fail miserably. I haven't talked to many people that are excited about it.

But wouldn't it be more sense to do it when the movie comes out? Get more hype that way rather than just throw it on TV in the middle of the season with no chance for survival?

That it might. but FOX has doomed several shows by putting them in the wrong time slot, not giving enough advertising and basically not giving them a good chance to survive. This is the kind of thing they have been known for in the past (only usually with more original, intriguing shows). I'm sure there is some kind of reasoning behind it. They probably want to give it half a season and see how that does, so they don't put any more money into then they have to if it fails.

Oh and it just occurred to me that the writer's strike might have something to do with them deciding not to air it until January.

The first episode premiered to much fanfare here in oz last night,with the network obviously banking on it being a big hit placing it in a timeslot previously occupied by CSI Miami.
I gotta say i didn't hate it, there is much worse on tele these days(ive really had enough of all this reality crap).
As you predicted Jen it definately ignores part 3 (a film which i didnt mind that much especially the ending, came as a real suprise).
i'll continue to watch until it startsto bore me or gets canceled(as us aussies like to call it gets axed), cause even though it doesn't compare to to the first 2 movies, i never expect it to andcan enjoy for what it is.

It starts here in the next couple of days I think. Against my better judgement I may have to give it a look.

Well, I completely forgot about it and missed the first episode of course... I think five or six episodes have aired already, so doubt I will pick it up. But I have heard from a couple of folks that is pretty decent.

I don't get to watch this because Monday Night Raw comes on at the same time.

I used to do that too, though now there's hardly a lot of stuff worth rescheduling my life around that it's just at the point where, if I don't feel like it, I just throw on a movie after a while. Had you said that a year ago, though, I definitely would've agreed to have been doing the same thing.
