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.

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.

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?
"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.

Point Pleasant 1/19/05 - PILOT
Reminder - on FOX tonight at 9pm. The NEXT episode airs tomorrow at 9pm after the O.C..
PILOT:
Human Nature (1/20):
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!

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.

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.
