Seriously looks fucking shit, have no interest in even giving this a shot.
They got 'Moonlight' too, and then 'Medium', 'Fringe', 'Ghost Whisperer' - all these fucking paranormal/sci-fi shit shows trying to replace Buffy and X-files do my fuckin nut in. |

Too bad it was canceled. Apparently Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer were an item and just got engaged.

Not every scifi show is trying to replace gay ass Buffy, if you watched the show, you would know this, but you're an idiot so you don't and pass jugdement anyway.

I didn't literally mean they are trying to copy those specific shows, rather the stories contained, the messages, ideas, are pretty bland and nothing special.
Just my opinion. They could very well be good shows but don't really offer anything new or good for my enjoyment. Moonlight aired for one season for a reason, and I dunno, I just don't like these types of shows. |

And for the record, I didn't really like Buffy, but I understand and recognise why it was such a big hit, for so long, with different audiences.

I care how well its been done too, but that is partly based on how original, new, and how different it comes off from shows I have seen and shows alike. Why is that so bad? its not like I can force myself to like it or pretend I havn't seen the same type of characters, which take part in similar stories, with the same tone of programming with the same bland acting.
I've seen bits and pieces of episodes from each shows, i have given them chances, and I just don't find them entertaining, or choose to invest much interest and emotion into its mythology or story. |

Finding them not entertaining is one thing, however your reasons for doing so are ridiculous. If you want to compare Buffy to a show on HBO go ahead, let me know when your head is out of your ass.

LOL wtf?
So why would I watch a show when I think everything I have just said? If anything your the one with your head up your ass, just because a show is on HBO, and only for that reason, your gonna watch the show out of habit because of that fact? I'm not saying HBO doesn't produce top quality stuff; The Sopranos, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Six Feet Under are three of of my ten shows of all time. Your right to mention HBO, but to go about what entertainment you take in based on that kind of thinking, your never going to find the rare gems of shows, or the ones you never heard of that are just as special. |

OK, if that's what you think fair enough
If that's a fact, then in time its fan base will grow, merchandise will sell, critical acclaim will be positive and it will last for many seasons. |

I will give a show a chance if I hear good things and read postive reviews, if I don't like it, or it isn't any good I won't continue to watch. I was stating give a show more the a glance or two. I will give shows a fair chance, rather than base my opinion on preconcieved notions I already before watching the show. |

I guess if I tried to answer that in relation to your own admission about the acting, then it would stem from the fact that its one aspect I really notice and pay attention to, which is the main one; It ruins the mood I'm trying to get into with that kind of show, sometimes it makes me cringe even. It causes a ripple effect into the overall enjoyability and thus I don't feel like investing any emotion into the characters, their story, and the idea of the show.
Its just not for me. |

Yeah True Blood has already been renewed for a 3rd season. Good show but I wouldn't say GREAT. At least not yet. This Mary Anne subplot is boring me to tears.

But seriosly, you can't judge an entire show based on a trailer you saw, god knows shitty shows and movies have had awesome trailers.
I rememer seeing a commericial for the Office US back when it first came on and thinking it looked retarded, Office is now one of my favourite shows. See, I didn't say it was garbage, unoriginal, and had recycled storylines, because well I couldn't, all I had seen was a commericail, would have be ridiculous to not like something without ever really seeing it. |
