Century City: What is the buzz?
What's the buzz on the new CBS show "Century City"? I've only seen one commercial, and it looks kinda interesting. Some kind of futuristic Law and Order or something.
|
Yeah - I was thinking a futuristic L.A. Law. I'll definitely give it a shot, assuming it is in a friendly timeslot.
|
Looks like it is on Tuesday at 8pm CST. So the "biggest" competition it is up against is According to Jim, American Idol, Frasier, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. I'll be tuning in to check it out.
|
Morf - you forgot One Tree Hill and, most of all, Scrubs.

Up against The Shield too.

Amend that to state that in my area it's up against The Shield. Of course, if Century City is a good enough show, one could always wait for the encore an hour later.

Here are descriptions of the first 2 episodes. Note that the 2nd episode is a special Saturday presentation.
Spoiler:

I think this show looks stupid.

I think that this is a good premise, but I just can't imagine it actually being good.
|
Ohh, a show about lawyers? That's so new, so bold, so original!
not. |

I have it scheduled to record tonight. It looks incredibly dumb though, but I'll give it a shot.
|
Everything is cooler in the future. Even law!!
I hope every episode doesn't deal with some stupid genetic cloning problem like the first two episodes. How original. -rolleyes- |
And don't forget, the second episode will be on this Saturday at 10 p.m. (but it's after the NCAA games, so you might want to pad your PVR or VCR by 30 minutes) on CBS.

ARe they going to make a show for city in Los Angeles county?!
|
Did anyone see the first episode? Thoughts?
|
The clone portion was decent enough, but the 'B' story was short and pointless. The church scene was easily the cheesiest thing I've seen all season on any program.
I'll keep watching, but am not expecting much out of it. |
I am going to relegate this show to weekend viewing of the recording because I wasn't all that impressed by it so far to watch it late Thursday night (after AI, The Shield, and Gilmore Girls, etc...). The Rock Star subplot was actually entertaining enough to spoof the current plastic surgery craze and extend it to absurd level (if technology allowed it). It was funny to see Councilman Hamann (Matrix Reloaded) dancing up a storm.
|
I caught this last night by accident and wasn't impressed in the least. I don't think I'll continue watching.
