Early Encounters: My Ratings on new Fall Series'

All based on their trailers...

Modern Family
ABC

Based on the trailer, the new sitcom seems to be edgy and new, despite the fact that it's a show about three different families...A normal couple with a few kids, A gay couple with their new adopted daughter, and a couple with a lesser seen son. The promo looks really promising and filled with a lot of humor. It would be a change for ABC to finally have a good comedy. A-

Mercy
NBC

The whole premise of three female nurses sassing their way thru troubles seems a little worn out, especially for this new series. The show seems to care mostly on a comedic level, and doesn't seem memorable. C

Community
NBC

With a seemingly full and comedic excelling main and supporting cast (which includ
es The Soups Joel Mchale and Veteran funny man Chevy Chase), this promising new quirky domain seems like a little less, but still dramatic How I Met Your Mother. B+

A Love/Hate Relationship:Vampires Part One

If you were to tell Bram Stoker or the witches of Salem that Vampires would eventually become all the rage in Pop Culture, They would probably laugh, then do something old-timey. This whole new love of Vamps has really worn me out. I remember when I was younger, the social rejects of the Halloween circuit would be Vampires. Now, they are the hippest thing.

I kinda think that one of the major reasons Vampires have become more mainstream in the past two or three years must be because of the makeover the bloodsuckers accepted. It's not like Grandpa on The Munsters anymore. Vampires have now become something of a hot, pale, anorexic model. If you watch anything Vamp-related, they are all so good looking. Normal humans aren't as hot as some of these "immortals".

It's somewhat obvious that the thing that started this cancer has to be Twilight. I read the first Twilight book-or should I say 100 pages of it-and was floored. Why is an overly exaggerated, whiny, and all around bitchy teen girl so popular with the masses? As i later found out with Armageddon,which was the release of the Twilight movie, I realized what all the fuss was about: The equally winded-minded Vampire love interest.

The Movie was a pure waste of my unlikely time. Don't get me wrong, on all other mediums of entertainment, I actually enjoy the actors in the film. Kristin Stewart has been in many critically acclaimed films, as with her co-star Robert Pattinson. The movie provided with me with the hate part of my relationship with Vamps.

Warehouse 13: A new Cult Hit?

In the past few years, The Syfy Network (formally Sci-Fi) has become more than just low-budget movies with terrible effects. The Syfy network has become the new go-to spot for promising original series' and specials.

With the loss of critically, and ratings friendly series "Battlestar Gallactica", Syfy is trying to make sure that they will stay on the cutting edge when it comes to the point of original programming.

On July 7th, "Warehouse 13" premiered on the network with Syfy's third largest series debut ever with 3.5 million viewers. The new series, which is about two former secret service members who are assigned to trek the word for supernatural objects, is executive produced by Battlestar co-producer Jane Espenson.

The show may not become a new cult hit like Battlestar, but its actually very entertaining. The main characters bicker like cats and dogs, which is all the fun. The show has the feeling of a new-age X-Files, but with comedic twang.
