Alcatraz (Fox)
 

Season Premier tonight!

45min is and I'm very impressed so far. Good story line and lots of action, so far it looks like its going to live up to the hype. Good to see a lot of familiar actors in it as well.

Looks promising so far

:bigthumb: for another local production! Surprised it took this long for Fox to air the series, the pilot was shot when we were shooting Mi4, JJ Abrams came in to supervise both.

Whats your feel for is so far 7seven?

Wait why did he kill the guy who had they key?

cause hes a murderer and that's what murderer's do

I liking it so far, I was on location visiting the other day and from what I can tell it's going in a great direction. Those of you that watch Fringe will notice a lot of similarities, both have a similar feel, local, JJ Abrams projects, casting also handled by the same people so you'll notice some of the same faces appearing in bit roles in both series.

I thought it had a similar feeling of fringe but wasn't sure if its because I just watched it last night.

Similar feeling of Prison Break for me

Another thing I just realized being similar to Fringe, both have female blonde cop/agent partnered with a civilian, both have a ethnic dark young female assistant working in a lab with an old white guy :haha:

Both also produced by Warner Bros TV, but sold to Fox to air instead of their own Network CW lol.

Thought it was pretty meh. Maybe when more of 'why/how' comes out it'll be a little more interesting. But for now its lackluster investigation skills and forgetful villains will be watched without high hopes.

better then anything i have watched on tv so far!

Caught a few minutes of it and looks promising

Should get me through till Walking Dead returns :thumbs:

Great first episode!

Network is happy with last nights ratings, did a strong 3.3/8 share. Beat out Terra Nova, it's believed the network will be looking at that as a comparison to decide which show to renew.

I have a feeling thats not going to be a hard choice of they are using that as a factor.

great show....kinda feels like a mashup of Fringe and Person of Interest

yeah i could see Terr Nova failing since to me it was a trash show with shit all over the place...and by watching Alcatraz lastnight was more interesting with lots of mind fucking going on haha but good stuff!

watching it now...pretty good so far

watching sam neill now and terra nova late last year totally makes me want to see them produce another jurassic park movie lol

i like where this show's going...it took me a while to get into fringe but this hooked me in right from the start just like lost

good to know it's filmed locally too...i'm guessing they are using tons of green screen.

btw do things look dire for fringe right now? Love the show but the low ratings hurt....

It's not looking good at all, I know Fox isn't making any profit from selling ad space due to the low ratings and the sizable budget for production. Fringe has good DVR+7 ratings but most advertisers could care less, as people who record their favorite shows on DVRs would fast forward/skip the commercials anyways.

The one tiny hope for Fringe is that it is not a Fox produced production. It's done by Warner Bros., so there has been some speculation WB might be looking to shop Fringe to another network if Fox decides against renewal.
