New Fall TV And Other Musings

1. With the exception of two episodes of Courtney Cox's Cougar Town which as only two things going for it,Cox and co-star Crista Miller, I've really only started watching two new shows: NCIS: Los Angeles and Stargate: Universe . I can see now why producers or CBS or both didn't want it called NCIS: Special Projects or whatever. Supposedly, they're an uncover branch of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service but aside from a scene here or there, they never go undercover! When reading about it, it sounded like a cross between NCIS and Mission: Impossible which is an awesome concept. In reality, the difference between this and the show it spun-off from is the same difference between CSI and CSI: Miami . I will say Linda Hunt as Hetty Lange makes the show worth watching anyway. I'm curious to see where Stargate: Universe goes. The tone is darker than the previous series akin to Deep Space Nine . That show wasn't as well received as the other Star Trek
