The 9
I know we've discussed this show in other threads...but after tonight's episode...it deserves its own.
It seems to be stocked full of fine actors and have a certain direction...I really like this show and once in my life actually like Scott Wolf (I think that is the party of five guy's name). Anyway he seems have tapped into a solid character...a man wanting to put it all behind him...but not being able...wanting to be strong for his lady love and willing to do ANYTHING to keep her together and seek restoration between the two of them. Chi McBride is always more than solid...but I am very interested in this show's potential of moving past one season...how can they? This story seems built for one or two at the most. tonight's episode pointed out that people are all (in their own way) losers...and that even heroes have their failings...and that sometime, the line separating heroes and villians is a thin one indeed.

I enjoyed last night's episode. I think it has potential, but I definitely agree that this has a short life span. There's no way I'd follow this past one season unless they came up with something else to help the plot along.
I'm still not to the point that I'm ready to commit for an entire season, especially since I already picked up two new shows this year, but I'm giving it a chance.

its the solid acting that is sucking me in....
its funny how a concept can either pull you in or push you away...as for "Heroes" the concept is so strong and I watch it ignoring the poor acting...while the 9's acting is very strong and the concept as less allure..

Well, its been quite some time since I tried something new, so I hoping this turns out ok (Seriously either Lost or Big Love was the last show I adopted). I tend to like shows that are slightly campy, and that seems to be the direction they are going in.
The whole thing with that insurance guy telling off his evil boss and storming out of his job to alternative rock - campy, but funny. I like him. I can't remember his name, but I like him. I think it has me suckered in for a moment, for no other reason other than I want to find out what all of the mysteries are. It liooks like the kid is the one that dialed 911....Felicia? I agree about Scott Wolf's character...doctors that kill their patients instantly make interesting television. I don't know what could keep this going beyond two season either - perhaps a smoke-filled monster that eats people?

The Nine kicks ass. It's by far the best new show of the season as far as I can tell.

It's good, but I just don't see how much staying power it could possibly have.
