Sci-Fi/Fantasy - Jake 2.0

Andia · 09-30-2003, 11:22 AM

I was wondering if anyone here watches this show. I can't be the only one. Perhaps there was a thread before the server crashed.

Here's the show's premise from tvtome.com

Quote:

Jake Foley is a young, slightly geeky National Security Agency technician who harbours a secret desire to rise from his low-level position and become an agent himself. During a "freak accident" he is infected with nanites, which give him a dazzling array of superpowers, including "superhuman strength, lightning-fast speed, heightened hearing, razor sharp vision and the telepathic abilities to communicate with computers".

When Jake's newfound abilities are discovered, the National Security Agency places him at the centre of a new Special Ops team. But once he is thrust into his new role as a secret agent, Jake is forced to juggle his two lives as a superhero and a regular, twenty-something guy looking to enjoy life and find love.

Yeah I do watch this show, but I missed last weeks eppy!!! So I hope I am not going to miss anymore!!! Its part of my Wednesday night Sci-Fi marathon!!! I watch Enterprise at 8 and then Jake 2.0 at 9!!!

I watch Jake also. I really am liking it. Next week Carly Pope guest stars. For anyone who doesn't know, she and Jake star Christopher Gorham were both in WB's short-lived drama "Popular" together. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I love this show. It sucks that it's up against Angel, but I'm still watching it.

Andia · 10-02-2003, 09:46 AM

Yeah, and it's going to be up against The OC as well, when the show comes back from hiatus. That's a big scheduling problem for me. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Ooh, that's pretty cool. A little Popular reunion, eh? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Does anyone know any good sites on Jake 2.0? I can't seem to find any out there other than tvtome and the official site. Both of which don't have much in terms of content anyway.

I hate all the competition. I just hope UPN recognizes that Wednesdays at 9 is going to be a tough hour.

Yeah, seriously. I've been hearing that Jake 2.0 is doing so bad in ratings right now. UPN should really move the time slot where there isn't so much competition among shows that would most likely have the same type of audience, in terms of age, preference, etc.

I've been watching Jake 2.0 and I'm really liking it. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Christopher Gorham is great. You guys have made great points about the scheduling conflict that appears to be arising. Hopefully Jake 2.0 will be able to make it.

It's not a tough time for me, because I don't watch anything else at that time slot!!! I just wish it was on twice a week!!!

Yeah, they should do it two times a week to get it more exposure. And possibly a better timeslot, since it's up against some tough shows on Wednesdays.

Well, it was on the bubble for a while because Jake 2.0 ratings are extremely low, even for UPN, unless I'm mistaken. It comes out last out of all the major networks from the ratings I've been seeing of it. It really seems to be in a timeslot of death because after Enterprise, a lot of viewers just tune out, so the lead-in with Enterprise is not working out for the show.
