  • As a first-time writer, ... | Matt Roush | 11/5/2007
    Question: As a first-time writer, hopefully you'll consider answering my e-mail. I have really enjoyed the NBC show Journeyman, and I was wondering how it's doing as far as ratings, and what your thoughts are on the show. I thoroughly enjoy the characters, and the relationships have gotten better and better. The stories are interesting and definitely hold my attention, so much so that Journeyman has become what I guess they call "appointment viewing," much like HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm and Big Love and Sci Fi's Battlestar Galactica. I just hope it stays on the air and has the chance to mature further. If the ratings aren't good, then please put this show on your "best shows no one's watching" list. I mean, if a show like Pushing Daisies can be a critical fave ( I watched 10 minutes of the first episode, then turned the channel... horrible doesn't begin to describe it), why can't there be more love shown to Journeyman? Answer: Welcome to the party, and I only wish I could share the ... read more

  • NBC: Parsing the Peacock's Moves | Matt Roush | 5/14/2007
    First, the good news (that we've been cheering since late last week): NBC's Hail Mary reprieve to the low-rated but critically worshipped Friday Night Lights is something to celebrate. True, the move to Fridays is a bit worrisome. Those with long memories will recall the fast fade of a similarly themed high-school football drama, Against the Grain (starring a then-unknown Ben Affleck), which aired on Fridays in 1993. Its failure was largely attributed to being scheduled on a night when much of the target audience was actually attending high-school football games. (But that was before the age of DVRs, downloads, online streaming, etc.) One upside: expectations on Fridays are significantly lower. And with a summer in which (let's hope) Emmy nominations and a presumed DVD release can help promote the show and stimulate more buzz, maybe this underdog will do OK in the long run.Next, the strangest news in all of NBC's fall announcements, the first in a week-long wave of network upfront p... read more
