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.

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.

Perfect.
I don't watch/record anything in that slot. Not even 24.

Bah, who am I kidding ... I just have to see the resolution to this baby subplot.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent head's up. I forgot about that.

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.
