Unforgettable is doing well here. For me it's in a gray area. When I watch it I like it pretty well, and I don't object to it sticking around, but it isn't must-see. The gimmick is a good one. I think I just don't like the character particularly. And the other characters don't seem strong enough to keep me coming back. Come 9 o'clock on Tuesday if I'm on ABC, where Body of Proof comes on opposite Unforgettable, I'm just as likely not to bother changing the channel. People are watching it, though, so you might like it more than I do.

I see what you mean margarine , I watched the first episode last night and the main character just did not pull me in. I will give it another few episodes and see how I go.

Hi gbird I watched Unforgettable last night not too impressed with it, will give it another go next week and see what happens. Its a good idea but not sure about the main actress.

Just watched the first ep of "The Glades".
It started today on one of the pay channels here in Germany. Looks promising. Like it. Not much story to it, but enough eye-candy, fun and banter to kept me entertained. We'll see how it will be going .....

I know what you mean Mandyblue. I did not find her convincing.

I think the problem is she's trying to make the character different to Sam on Without a Trace, but doesn't know how. It's still essentially a police procedural and she still has the same kind of stuff to do, that requires the same kinds of characteristics. I'd bet if she'd changed her hair more than just coloring it red she could have gotten a better handle on it.

Yes maybe she is trying to hard and overdoing it. I liked her in Without A Trace so I will give it a few more episodes.

twass I thought the same thing when I watched the first episode but I kept watching by episode 3 & 4 it is much better & the stories have improved.....Like the banter he has with his friend the medical coroner....I am actually enjoying it now.... ..

Almost forgot the previews for Once Upon A Time have been on and that will be starting here soon and I must say it looks good....I am a sucker for fairytale stories.......interesting cast....so I will definitely be watching this show....
I read the previews for Alcatraz and I am a bit confused I mean the story is basically old prisoners are reappearing after 50years....then I read who is behind it J.J.Abrahms from Lost.....will see about this one....

[margarine]

Once Upon a Time is going great guns, and getting a lot of attention. I'm actually surprised, I thought it would be too much "one foot in each world" and confusing like Lost, but it's coherent. In one way I don't find it as "enchanting" as I had hoped, mostly because there's not much use of actual magic from week to week and it's just a bit understated, but the characters are cool and the storyline is intriguing. You'll like it. Alcatraz, well, I'm looking forward to it but without an excess of excitement.

Thanx marg....you see the previews and I get so excited then when the show airs it's a disappointment because you expect so much more...but having input from everyone here is great because I know what to expect........So thank you... ..

I'm enjoying it too. The fairytale world occasionally gets a little cheesy (mainly the dialogue) but the stories and characters are intriguing. And I could watch Robert Carlyle act all day long. He elevates anything he's in.

For the Grimm fans: On the E!Online site, there's a cool video interview with the guys who play Nick (the hero) and Monroe (the "not so big bad" wolf), and they are FUNNY. Here's the link if you want to see the video:

Here's the transcript (there's actually a couple of lines at the bottom that aren't on the video):

Happy Friday the 13th!

How better to celebrate this freaky-deeky day than with comedic stylings of NBC's Grimm stars David Giuntoli and Silas Weir Mitchell?

That's right—even though their crime drama is inspired by the darkest and scariest of Grimm's fairy tales, these guys are so hilarious they should have their own comedy spinoff.

From funny fan encounters to upcoming reveals, this duo had us buckled over with laughter when Kristin chatted them up at the TCA Winter Press Tour. Plus, we've got exclusive Grimm casting scoop…

With Grimm's fanbase growing, we asked whether the actors were recognized by supporters of the show.

"I got recognized in Prague by two girls from Siberia," an amazed Weir told us. "I was like, 'How in the name of the Ethernet did you find [our show]?' They said on computer so it's out there. Waaay out there."

"I just assume there's something wrong with me," David when he notices people staring at him. And actually, he added, "There is!"

The dreamy (there, we said it!) actor is definitely a little zany, especially his reply when an automotive shop cashier asked, "You the actor? The main guy in Grimm?" The frugal TV star's response? "Yeah…I also have this $8 coupon for the oil change."

The extreme couponer and his quirky costar were enthusiastic when we suggested they star in their own sitcom. "It'll be a verbatim Perfect Strangers but with two different [actors]!" David pitched, and Silas wisecracked, "We'll actually rotate," telling his sidekick, "You can do a mean Balki, I'm sure."

In their current TV reality, the actors promise "a lot of fun reveals" coming up on Grimm. "The worlds are colliding more so it's getting more dire," says Silas.

And violent, teases David. "Monroe becomes threatened and beaten up, [and] I get whooped a couple times."

The actors say an upcoming episode might be the darkest take on a fairy tale yet: a "very creepy Hansel and Gretel" in which "street kids are led to a hospital clinic, where their organs are harvested." Good times!

The guys are also fired up about the upcoming "Plumed Serpent" episode, in which Daniel Baldwin plays a shrewd astute arson investigator whose workload quadruples when fire dancer Danielle Panabaker—a red-hot dragon creature who literally breathes fire—sets Portland ablaze.

Silas summarizes the rest of the season best: "Spooky things go down."

Thanks Marg.
And i like Once upon a lifetime too. It does not go back and forth as bad as the newer show The Firm does.
