Enigma

I'm excited for this show!!

The opening post looks great.

Subject

This show fits more into the Sci-Fi/Fantasy category. So I'm moving it to the Sci-Fi/Fantasy board.

Chrissy

I can't wait for this show to start.

Merlin_Bodhi

I want to see a better preview of this show.

The Kender

It sounds a lot like the 4400 but without the abduction part.

Primordial

^Exactly my thoughts too.

well, this is the first I've heard of this show. Thanks for the heads up! I'm a sucker for the 'discover your powers' plot...it speaks to my inner comic book geek.

I just wish they had come up with a more imaginative ad picture. Posing for a group photo in front of a stormy skyline isn't that original or eyecatching. However, nice to see that Ali Larter is in this. I've been wondering when I would see her in another genre project.

Thanks for starting this up, Kelly!

I'm really excited for this show to air! I think it has everything to become a hit. Intrigue, excitement, drama, great plot/characters, mystery, etc. everything a tv show ought to be really. I'm also confident the show won't be cheesy in any way, it will be well written, produced and acted. I'm so glad I'll be seeing Milo and Greg every week, as well as Ali and Hayden and the rest.

The Crow

This is one of the few upcoming NBC shows that I'm interested in watching. I have yet to see a preview, but I've seen a couple positive reviews for the first episode.

Hermione Weasley

This show sounds pretty interesting

Cryostar

I'm scared for this show....there are just SO many ways it can go wrong....and it's NBC...but I like the cast.

This sounds great! Awesome cast. Santiago Cabrera is such a hottie

The Crow

ABC is the king of screwing up shows I like, but I know exactly what you mean. They've got a good cast though, so maybe that will help draw in viewers.
