It looks good. If J.J. is behind it, I'm in. He hasn't steered me wrong yet. LOST and Fringe are proof of that. The show premiers on Sunday, January 8th 2012, but it will be on Monday's at 9 p.m. EST after that. Right after one of the best new shows of 2011, Terra Nova. It will be one of the best new shows of 2012!! Awake will be the best, then The River, Missing, and then Alcatraz.

The best new shows of 2011 are: Terra Nova, Revenge, Person of Interest, Ringer, Unforgettable, Prime Suspect, A Gifted Man, and The Secret Circle. I don't work for any of the networks. I just love watching great and interesting, suspenseful dramas.

Anyone watch this last night? I thought it was a decent start. Pretty much, classic JJ.

I did, I thought it was OK. I just hope they don't drag out the mystery too much and actually give answers. Fox has a tendency to hype up a show, but if ratings tank they will either kill it or move it to Friday (which is essentially killing it.)

This show looks awful from the trailers...

LOL @ JJ Abrams.

Yeah, I thought it looked pretty stupid from that awful commercial I kept seeing.

It probably didn't help that I was trying to watch the daily show online and the video player wigged out and started playing that commercial over and over again. I've been conditioned to hate it :laugh:

I watched it and so far I did like it, it will be interesting to see where they will take this down the road. I am hesitant in watching a new show because most of hte new shows that I started to watch (or semi new) always seem to end within 1-2 seasons (i.e. Sarah Connor Chronicles, V, The Event, Flash Forward etc...) so I might hold off until the 3-4 season (if there are any?) before I seriously start to watch more of it.

Well to be fair all those shows sucked :p

Watched both episodes today. Not sure how I feel about it yet. I'll give it a few more episodes before I decide. Definitely cool seeing the City and its landmarks, very familiar with it.

I just hope they have a solid premise for all of it and not just some lame explanation. That's always my worry with these shows.

All I have to do is look at 'House' to see how Fox can keep stuff around for too long. That show is a disaster since the 3rd season.

:cry: - So agree with you there - i miss TSCC and FlashForward the most!

But saw an episode last night - not bad I thought. Will see the other episode today :)

I wonder if they will try to introduce Al Capone into the series somehow? since history said that he died in Alcatraz and they could bring him back in many ways? have to wait and see?

Al Capone died at his home in Palm Island, Florida: http://www.nytimes.c.../bday/0117.html ;-)

[edit] He went to Alcatraz in 1934 and was released in 1939.

      Really? Despite the memory price rises, nothing can kill it? I thought something would.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
