After reading all the comments about Awake here I checked the preview and yeah, it looks interesting. I will probably check it, but I'm not sure if they really can deliver, I mean it's one of those shows that can be a really huge hit or crash really bad (i.e. check Lost vs all the clones after that)

I'll give Awake a shot because it seems to be it's own show, the problem with the Lost clones is they felt like Lost clones.

Awake looks pretty decent. I try not to get too excited about shows on the major networks... they have an uphill battle. Typically with HBO and Showtime shows they last at least an entire season and usually they're pretty damn good.

Weird hearing Jason Isaacs speak with an American accent.

Not the first time. He spoke with a (very poor) New England accent in BROTHERHOOD.

Yeah because she got topless in that. She won't on NBC.

Maybe not on NBC, but according to Variety, actors on THE PLAYBOY CLUB have a nudity clause in their contracts permitting nude scenes to be filmed and used for DVD, International and subsequent cable airings.

Already mentioned earlier in this thread, but like I mentioned earlier, they did not shoot any nudity for the Pilot from a story I read a week ago. The producers of the show said they have no plans to right now. The contract is just to leave the option open.

Grimm looks like a definite watch for me too. Since I like Amanda Peet I will check out Bent. Didn't like the Prime Suspect one though although that is because I've seen a couple of the original miniseries with Helen Mirren.

Of the previews I've seen these two will get me to watch NBC again. I just hope I dont jinx them and they fail miserably.

Awake and Grimm sound good

Colombia Records has apparently signed to release the soundtracks to NBC's Smash and signed a solo deal with Katherine McPhee as well.

http://www.deadline.com/2011/06/colu...e/#more-138669

The show apparently won an early award as well as one of the top 8 new shows from critics.


Most Exciting New Series category at the inaugural Critics’ Choice Television Awards. The category, voted by broadcast journalists who have seen the pilots and any available episodes, recognizes shows premiering after June 1, 2011. Some of the most buzzed-about new series, including NBC's Smash and Fox's New Girl and Terra Nova, made the list, while others, including CBS' Person of Interest and 2 Broke Girls and ABC's Pan Am, didn't. Here are the honorees (there will be no winner in the category, with all eight shows acknowledged at the awards show June 20):

Alcatraz - Fox - Warner Bros.
Apartment 23 - ABC - 20th Century Fox
Awake - NBC - 20th Century Fox
Falling Skies - TNT - DreamWorks
New Girl - Fox - 20th Century Fox
Ringer - CW - CBS Studios
Smash - NBC - DreamWorks/Universal Media
Terra Nova - Fox - 20th Century Fox
Always cracks me up to see a studio like Fox who put out shows on other networks that tend to do better than the shows on their network (ie: Modern Family). Alas they get about the same amount of money + dvd sales.

My thoughts exactly.
