Well, we’ve done NBC (although not completely, since they do ‘infronts’ rather than ‘upfronts’ – ie they dither). Now it’s time to look at what Fox has lined up for earthly pleasures this Fall/Autumn – as well as in the coming months and January.
After the break: Brothers, The Cleveland Show, Glee, Human Target, Mental, Past Life, and Sons of Tucson, complete with videos.
Supernatural‘s a bizarre aberration for The CW. While most of the shows on the network are aimed at girls and young women, Supernatural – although clearly having some appeal for that demographic in the form of the two leads – is very much a horror show with a clear(ish) target of young men and boys.
Now despite this fact, and the fact it’s not exactly the most trumpeted of shows, Supernatural is probably the second-best if not the best show on the network (Gossip Girl being perhaps the best despite a disappointing second season). And this fourth season has, despite the odds, probably been the best so far.
This is it! This is the moment we’ve all been waiting for. Superman versus Doomsday – the thingie wot killed him in the comics! The ultimate smackdown.
Oh. That really wasn’t ultimate at all, was it?
Wow. Okay, one obviously saccharine moment, but when Hugh Laurie does upset, he really moves you, doesn’t he?
Well, you’ve got to give them one thing: they sure know how to write a cliffhanger on Lost.
