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.
|
I'm intrigued. I'll be checking it out.

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:
"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.
|
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:
Human Nature (1/20): Spoiler:
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! |
I'm hoping yo meant 1/19, not 1/09 because i actually wanted to watch this
|
Actually, the regular PP timeslot is Thursdays at 9, after The O.C., so we'll only have the Lost/Alias problem tonight.

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 http://img156.exs.cx/img156/6659/funhouse015wv.jpg |
The preview looks interesting. I'll definitely check it out tonight and tomorrow.

Fortunately, I don't have that problem. I have both Fox East and West (388 & 389) :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. :( |
Well the opening sucked,
Hellow,ever hear of a Hospital... |

Well, we're now roughly 3/4 of the way through...
And yes, it does indeed suck. |
i think it is kind of interesting..... so far i give it a C+.....worth watching but might die out in 3 three weeks
|
I'm recording it so I can watch Alias.
You guys aren't giving me a warm fuzzy about it. |

I watched about half the episode and quit. It's not very interesting, especially after watching Lost.
|
My wife fell asleep 15 minutes into it. I walked out after 10 minutes. Not good.
|
ok that part was very outer limitse.......
looks interesting though.... i am getting hooked but just have no faith |
If John Doe can make it 1 full season, I'm sure this will too.
I don't know why they can't just bring back Tru Calling rather than bring in new shows. What's the dad from? I know he was in the first season of 24, but I just saw him in something else quite recently. |
The dad was/is on Desperate Housewives

I had a season pass set up for this, but after reading the review in USA Today I cancelled it.

There's some potential here, but I think they're blowing it. First of all, the characters are mostly dull. The teens are just generic teen soap stereotypes. The bitch, the bitch's nice guy boyfriend, the nice girl, etc. I didn't even care for the devil's daughter, and she's supposed to be the one we're REALLY invested in, as the whole premise revolves around her. There were some touches of personality in the older characters, especially the Melrose Place guy, but they were mostly all in the background for this (so far).
I know they were trying to merge a teen soap type show (like The O.C. or Dawson's Creek) with a supernatural/horror type show, but they ended up with the lesser of both genres. The soap type stuff sucks because the characters suck, and the horror stuff just isn't scary or menacing. The upcoming footage looks pretty damn cool, though, so I'll watch it for a bit longer... but unfortunately I'm not getting my hopes too high. |
The pilot was pretty dull, but I will stick with this for awhile. It almost has to be good, with the writing staff they have.
|
I watched the first half and couldn't take any more. God, it was awful.
Obnoxiously bourgeois crap, where everyone lives in a big, immaculate house, has the perfect haircut and fashionable clothes. Christ on a badger, I hate that shit. I hated all of the characters and actors, with the exception of Aubrey Dollar as Judy. The rest of it was just painful to watch. Elisabeth Harnois has no presence whatsoever, it's like they picked her from a headshot without an audition because she "looked right." (To pull out another BTVS comparison, they were incredibly lucky to get Sarah Michelle Gellar for the role, because she could actually make you believe that she carried the weight of the world on her tiny shoulders.) The concept is intriguing, but the execution is so poor as to be unsalvageable. I don't think I'll stick around for more. And... New Jersey???? |
Dont make fun of NJ......
of if this show sucks then go ahead... :) I think next weeks show looks interesting....i am going to give this show a try..... could get better..... just hopefully they can stay away from the outer limits crap |
