So what's the word on Point Pleasant?
 
Any reviews out there? Has anyone here seen the first episode anywhere? The previews have got my attention.

Geofferson 01-17-05 07:17 PM
I'm intrigued. I'll be checking it out.

Same here. Haven't heard any advance word, but I'm curious.

Not sure. This series could go either way. I'm hoping it's more X-Files/Millennium than the typical teen drama.

Marti (Buffy) Noxon and Ben (Angel) Edlund are exec producing so it has a good pedigree. Noxon is generally blamed for the worst aspects of Buffy, but Edlund gets a lot of credit for the better parts of Angel.

And Aubrey Dollar, former Guiding Light cutie, is a regular in the cast, so it'll be good to see her again. Mmmmm. Redheads.

Doesn't sound like my kind of show. Plus I refuse to watch this after the way FOX treated Tru Calling.

Marti Noxon also wrote some great episodes of Buffy in the early years, and since PP is "her" show (thus she can't screw up an existing one), I'll give it a chance. The commercials for PP look pretty interesting.

That's only the preview. The regular slot is Thursday at 9 (vs CSI and Apprentice) - the slot that was supposed to go to Tru Calling.

The commercials really intrigued me. You know what it reminds me of?

Spoiler:
American Gothic


"Someone's at the door!"

Seriously, if PP is half as good as AG was, this should be worthwhile TV.

Isn't Point Pleasant the town that the Mothman Prophacies took place in? I keep thinking that is what the show is going to be about when I see the commercials.

Tommy Ceez 01-18-05 11:48 AM
I just found out its set in Pt Pleasent NJ!?!?!...but filmed in California

Point Pleasant 1/19/05 - PILOT
 
Reminder - on FOX tonight at 9pm. The NEXT episode airs tomorrow at 9pm after the O.C..

PILOT:
Spoiler:
All hell is about to break loose in a sleepy New Jersey town when a sudden violent storm washes in more than the tide. The peaceful existence of a small seaside community will dramatically change forever when Christina Nickson is rescued from the ocean by local lifeguard Jesse Parker and brought to the home of local doctor Ben Kramer. The Kramers, including Ben's wife, Meg, and daughter, Judy, take an instant liking to Christina and invite her stay with them as she searches for clues to her past and attempts to find her mother, a Point Pleasant native whom Christina never knew. Unbeknownst to Christina, her presence in the town is having a profound effect on its inhabitants - awakening repressed feelings, unlocking secret desires and heightening emotions. As Christina seeks answers to her mother's disappearance, she will come to realize that she has never known her "real" father either - for Christina is the offspring of a mortal woman and the Devil. While Christina struggles to control the demon inside her (and the powers that come with it), the fight for her soul has begun and the town of POINT PLEASANT has turned into the ultimate battleground of good vs. evil.


Human Nature (1/20):
Spoiler:
Christina continues to search at the local church for clues that will lead to her missing mother. Meanwhile the town prepares for its annual boat parade, which is even more competitive than usual thanks to Christina's presence. Christina and Jesse grow closer, which infuriates Paula. Charismatic-yet-sinister Lucas Boyd makes his move to Point Pleasant. And another death in town rains on the parade in the "Human Nature" episode of POINT PLEASANT.


Important to note if you have DirecTiVo and record LOST & ALIAS: The DVR has been overlapping - runs late on LOST and starts on time for ALIAS so it records BOTH and prohibits you from recording Point Pleasant at 9pm while both ABC shows are recording. Fiddle accordingly!

Joeboo835 01-19-05 10:32 AM
I'm hoping yo meant 1/19, not 1/09 because i actually wanted to watch this

areacode212 01-19-05 10:38 AM
Actually, the regular PP timeslot is Thursdays at 9, after The O.C., so we'll only have the Lost/Alias problem tonight.

Yup, ABC sucks that way.

Well I won't be watching the show, so somebody let me know if they show any scenes from the boardwalk area. Pt. Pleasant is one of our favorite Jersey shore summer fun spots.
Here's the Fun House on the boardwalk. :D

The preview looks interesting. I'll definitely check it out tonight and tomorrow.

I knew that picture looked familier...I believe the only thing you`ll see is a sign that says,Pt. Pleasant NJ...the producers claimed PP might not be sunny enough so they took the sign and slapped it on a beach in California and filmed there:(...

you suck. :D

I ended up getting 2 dtivos to help against these problems, plus I can use my dvd recorder and gasp, my vcr if needed. I wish I could have qualified for east/west feeds. :(

tommy28 01-19-05 08:10 PM

Was that the same boardwalk featured in Dogma and Chasing Amy?
