HELP ME, HELP YOU
DeathWatch Odds 18-1 (as of September 26, 2006; 11:56am)
BBCancelled: Let's face it. This show is a slightly less than highbrow group version of “Frasier,” which means it stands a chance at a life -- maybe. But only if the characters are developed from their stereotypical beginnings. After watching one episode, there’s an inkling of something hysterical here between the characters, and the their various emotional disorders.
It’s a big if, though. “Help Me” could just as easily bomb, and bomb loudly. Already it's on the cusp of being completely cheesy and over-simplified. Ted Danson may not be cutout for this kind of one-camera, no laugh track comedy.

Eh....just middling stuff. Makes me see how good Frasier was.

Help Me Help You -- middling, at best.
Six Degrees -- while supposedly character-driven, its characters just drove me bored.
Prison Break -- I'm a fan, but it's getting harder and harder to believe the coincidences of pursuers or government agents or whoever always showing up exactly on cue (talk about overusing the concept of "enter stage right").

Six Degrees is maybe the stupidest new show this season. How can you make more than like six episodes going on this idea that everyone's connected somehow? It may have been a good idea for a tv movie, but definitely not for a show. After the first episode it was like I get it, people are randomly related...give me a show with an actual point please...

Six Degrees is just godawful. I think its ratings will be in the toilet tonight and life support is not far off.

I beg to differ!!! I like the show and after watching the first three shows am completely into it. I don't think the title of the show means that is all there is. It's just a jumping point. Anyway, being pit against ER is the biggest problem without question. After all these years it is still in top 20.

Every season I pick a couple new shows to try out and I have realized that NOT ONE is an a.) ensemble cast in a hospital setting b.) ensemble cast in a police setting c.)ensemble cast in crime setting, which is the formula for ALmost ALL new shows that want to ride on the coat-tails and past/current successes of ER, Hillstreet Blues or CSI. There is rarely any true originality on tv anymore. I won't even get into reality shows... So basically my choices for a new show each season are limited. I have really been enjoying both Six Degrees and Men In Trees (and Studio 60, which I haven't heard being threatened)and will be very disappointed if once again they are cancelled and I am left the rest of the season to read a book or rent movies...
