Anyone else dying for the new TV-season? With the writers strike and all it's been far too long since a decent television filled week... Thankfully there's finally new info being released to close the gap a bit between now and the new TV-season, like: Sylar spoilers for Heroes, which shows are renewed (yay for Gossip Girl, Reaper and Chuck -- though not so much yay for Moonlight, alas) and the basics on the new shows. The two I am currently most looking forward to (and everyone should watch :P) are Dollhouse and Fringe.

Fringe is a new supernatural show from J.J. Abrams (who doesn't need an introduction *cough* LOST *cough*) with Joshua Jackson (<3) and John Noble (Lord of the Rings). "Fringe is a fantastical thriller about an FBI-agent, an institutionalized scientist and his enstranged son. An unlikely trio who uncover a deadly mystery involving a series of unbelievable events and realize they may be a part of a larger, more disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology."

» Trailer and clips
» Article talking about the first half of the pilot and it sounds amazing!

Dollhouse is the new Joss Whedon (Buffy, Angel, Firefly) series with Eliza Dushku, Amy Acker and Tahmoh Penikett. "The show follows an organization that employs mind-wiped DNA-altered humans known as Dolls who are implanted with false memories and skills for various missions and tasks. When they are not 'at work' they are living in a real life Dollhouse which gives the show the name. One of those mind-wiped humans, a young woman named Echo, is slowly starting to become aware of herself and what's going on - all the while somebody on the outside is trying to bring the Dollhouse down while getting closer to Echo - possibly not aware that she is one of the Dolls he is after."

Any other news shows I should check out? No, I am not interested in the American version of Life on Mars or the new 90210 spin-off...


I posted 50 icons yesterday btw from these shows as well as LOST S4 and Heroes cast members, you can find them here.

Chuck and Heroes ended ages ago. Last episode (ever, boohoo!) from Moonlight was last week. LOST is on a mini-hiatus again (I think), last episode of Gossip Girl is this week, etc. :( I still have all my rewatches to go (currently Angel and Alias) but I much rather have shows to look forward to again on a daily basis that I can discuss with my flist because wveryone's watching it, you know? Besides, Fringe and Dollhouse sound AMAZING and I am too impatient to wait...

I'm kinda disappointed that none of the new TV shows really look too appealing to me. I was initially intrigued by Fringe, but if it's anything like LOST, I'd rather not deal with the eventual heartbreak when the series ends and we find out the writers were just making shit up and had no plan all along to answer any of the questions they raise. *still bitter from the X-files*

I'm definitely going to watch Dollhouse, though.

I think that from the wide variation of shows/movies J.J. has delivered so far it's safe to say it'll be very different from LOST. They're just using that so the general public will recognise its makers and know it has potential, I think. To me it sounds very different, apart from the fact it has a plane in it hehe Besides, it has Joshua Jackson!! *is such a fangirl*

There really aren't many new interesting shows this time around. Someone just mentioned Eleventh Hour, I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds interesting. I don't know Rufus from anything by heart though :$

I agree and I am not even a Life on Mars fan yet.

I'm so effed out about Dollhouse, at myself, cause I have a problem with Eliza. Which is really annoying, because everyone I know seems to love her, while I find her annoying -- and I hate that, because I LOVE the premise for the show! Gah!

Psst... I don't like her at all either. And I don't like Amy Acker either >.< But the idea behind Dollhouse sounds so awesome! And for now that's enough to get me excited. I am just hoping their characters ont he show will be so different from the ones I know them from I'll no longer be annoyed with them ;)

Definitely going to watch this show.

But I'm not quite shure about Dollhouse yet, I love Eliza Dushku, but the trailer wasn't that conclusive.

I dunno about Fringe. I have no love for the cast and every preview makes me think it's a X-Files or Millenium copy.

Dollhouse looks like Whedon watched too many oldie secret agent shows and Darker Than Black while simultaniously overdosing on crack and waking up in a toy store.

You are made of awesome for linking that Dollhouse community. I had no idea that it existed. Yay!

I'm really looking forward to Dollhouse, as you can probably guess. You never go wrong with Joss Whedon.

As for Fringe, I'll have to wait and see. I'm kind of hesitant to watch JJ Abram shows now. Alias has disillusioned me with the incredibly awful last three seasons.

Life on Mars. I'll probably tune in for the pilot and make my decision there. The trailer did look pretty bad and I'm still annoyed at how much of a bad ripoff of the original it appears to be. (Although, the original is likely loads better than new version.)

Shows I'll likely start watching next season? Chuck. I caught on after the whole season ended. I originally thought it was going to be one of those typical doofus guys/hot girls show, but it wasn't. NBC just marketed it that way and Chuck's actually kind of competent.

I LOVE Chuck. I saw the pilot a few months before it aired and instantly fell in love with the show, I can't wait for its returns :)
