I remember trying to get people to watch Dark Angel 's second season, when it started getting good and interesting, and featured Jensen Ackles.
But even the first season had its good points, imho. Hell, if
Dollhouse
is on a par with Season 1 of
Dark Angel,
I'm good to go. I'm encouraged to hear at least a few people here saying they're actually enjoying the show.
(I had a considerable fondness for
Witchblade
too. Albeit that was, in no small part, because Yancy Butler came across as they dykiest dyke in dyke town, and because there was a lot of eyecandy. And I liked their visual style.)
...what's this failed vampire soap opera of which you speak, btw?
Oh, I loved Witchblade. I couldn't bear to erase the season pass from my tivo. *sigh*

Moonlight, I'm thinking?
I will give this show until ep 6. I might be in for the whole season however many eps that is.
I figure if I hung on to "Fringe" until the show started getting good (and it really did and I had no pre-warning it would) then I can show the same patience to "Dollhouse." The only thing it conflicts with is "Flashpoint" and I can watch that on the 'net over the weekend.
I may skip eps 4-5 and wait until 6 or 7 to watch again. 1-3 weren't exactly must-see watching.
Yeah, I will give the show a last chance by tuning in episode 6, since that is when it is supposed to get good. What I get for not paying closer attention to the interviews. If I'd know I'd have just read TWOP for the first five, and tuned in for the first time on six.
Tangentially, when people say "Leverage is an inferior Hustle" I think "Didn't you watch Mission: Impossible???" and remember that one of the creators hasn't even seen any Hustle. I think it's such an easy comparison, and not necessarily the right one.
Why does that come to mind? Because I wonder how someone creates a vampire PI in LA driving a convertible and pining over a small blonde story and doesn't think "Maybe we should make him a redhead or something, so it's not
totally
Angel." I've watched Moonlight, or more appropriately, skimmed Moonlight for the Dohring bits, and I do wonder how it got as far as it did. The lead is pleasant to look at, but he isn't magic.
I remember back 10 years ago, somebody accused Tim of copying Angel from Forever Knight on a forum. Tim posted something along the lines of 'What's Forever Knight?'
