Kidnapped

[dog428]

Since every other decent new show has a thread, I was feeling bad for this one.

Thought it wasn't too damn bad. NBC obviously dumped some cash on this. Lots of recognizable faces and has a movie-type feel to it.

Yeah, it's basically Ransom meets Man on Fire, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

My only problem: I have no idea how they'll stretch this thing out for a full season, much less multiple seasons, without irritating the hell out of people. But the first one was good.

I think at some point the kid escapes, and everybody tries to find him. I think they're setting up the mother to be a heavy; after all, why would the kidnappers have his prescription? Why the mother and the kids start speaking Spanish to each other in whispered tones is beyond me, but it's gotta mean something. And why even let the other kid in the SUV survive?

Yeah, my first thought when she was talking to the guy on the phone was that she set the whole thing up to get a chunk of the husband's cash. But I don't know. That seems rather easy. And they're gonna need awfully complicated to make this thing stretch.

Yeah, viewers usually like things wrapped up in a hour. The incremental approach worked for 24, didn't for Murder One. There are quite a few shows that will test the theory this season.

It's worked OK for Lost...

I checked the first half-hour, then came to the realization I didn't care enough about any of the characters to commit to an hour of my life each week on their behalf. Besides, my willing suspension of disbelief was already gone.
Shoot off automatic weapons on the Upper East Side and you draw quite a crowd. Also, if a witness was alive, cops would've gotten to him hours before the freelancer.
It's very satisfying to cross a new show off the list. More time for other stuff.

Dana Delany has held up quite well for someone who has got to be pushing 50...

Not a bad premiere, but I can only handle one show about kidnapping (Vanished) right now.

Vanished had a major suspension-of-disbelief moment the other night that caused me to question the show's writing and may be enough to make me stop watching that show.

Why she's never been regarded as a true A-list sex symbol is beyond me. Guess it's because of her wholesome appearance and the fact that she's rarely been scantily-or-less clad.

Still remember when she first disrobed in Exit To Eden (she was the only reason I paid to see that god-awful film). Jaws dropped all over the theater.

And according to IMDB, she turned the big 5-0 on March 13.

I always thought she was hot as hell...

I watched it, and it wasn't bad. My problem is the same thing which has always been my problem with "24" ... I can see a show where things are NEVER looking up at the end of an episode. Just setback after setback after setback.

"setback after setback after setback, "just like my life, probably why I like these shows.

That Exit to Eden moment was quite transcendent.

Don't forget "Light Sleeper"

I would definitely lick butter and cinnamon sugar off her breasts (I am, after all, obsessed with boobs).
