Oh! I mean it as a warning: she’s a fan of the original, and I’m to blame for her being somehow excited for the remake, so I should actually warn her of the series being lifeless and not so fun…

Why does your mom have to stay away from Charlie's Angels?

I've read both your "Fall TV reviews" and I must say I mostly agree with you: * Ringer has me somewhat hooked because SMG is (very) watchable. She's been the only real good thing about the show, and I somehow want to know what's up with Siobhan. But it is very campy, indeed! I mean, it's CW, isn't it? * I was cracking from the first moment I saw Dennings in 2 Broke Girls and I'm glad Caroline's not just a dumb blonde, but a dumb blonde with a degree in business! HA! * Loved loved loved the new Lily. I wasn't so sure during the first episode, but the instant where she said "MY daddy!" on the second ep I was hooked! * Person of Interest has me on board as well, Jim Caviezel is indeed incredible in his scenes. I hope it brings some appreciation to this very underrated actor. * I was expecting some sort of failure for The X Factor and it came true. And THAT's why I rarely watch audition episodes. And that's about it. I still have to catch Prime Suspect but otherwise, the other shows don't really interest me that much. Well... except Charlie's Angels which I will have to see and tell my mom to stay away from. But then, thanks PCN! Fantastic post, as usual!

I wanted to be Kelly because she had really nice long brunette hair. I was such a deep little girl.

Oh, dear, I thought RJ was, ah, indisposed. Better not be a bait and switch!

Person of Interest is starting here soon, so I’ll be tuning in. So will Charlie’s Angels and I was tempted to watch just so I could point and laugh, but I don’t think I can bring myself to. {I really enjoyed the original, though! I wanted to be Sabrina.} Thanks for the previews, PCN!

The Mentalist was entertaining. The characters make it so, even if the story are a tad too incredible. Spoiler: if you hadn’t already suspected, Red John plays a part in the opener.

Naomi---I was hoping I'd be wrong about Angels because I grew up with the original. Oh well. I'd like to hear your thoughts on Person if you do tune in next week. le0pard13---How was Mentalist? I wanted to watch it but the DVR was already recording two things in that hour. And the show isn't online anywhere. Drats. Marce---I recorded Grey's and have it on deck for tonight. Have you watched it? EIREGO---I have seen Revenge. I might tune in again because I like watching horrible people get their due and want to see how Emily will carry out her vengeance. But the show isn't dynamic enough yet so I'm not sure how long it'll keep my interest.

Person of Interest looked and played well, but I’m not sure it can sustain the momentum for me.

ANGELS – Whoever directed, edited or greenlighted this show should be taken into a back alley and thrown in the dumpster. Really bad. I actually guffawed about every other minute.

Prime Suspect was indeed a joy to behold. I get the sexist issues you had with the show, but I remember the original had it as well and, well, I’ve always heard a squad room was a boys club anyway. Bello’s character looks like she can hold her own and I’ll tune in again.

Unforgettable was not. Which is sad because I love Poppy Montgomery.

BTW: Did you get to see REVENGE? Felt like a show that should be on the CW.

I loved Person of Interest and was more happy that Grey’s was a 2 hour special. I am so torn, been a Grey’s fan forever but Person of Interest is like the perfect thriller book.
