DearCrabby: Human Tetris. You have to see it to believe it. I like it in theory, but after like the 3rd episode, isn't it just the same thing? People getting bashed into a swimming pool? I see that in the kiddie pool at the Y. And it's more fun there because of all the wagering.

Flipit:

Dumb people getting walls slammed into them. I love it. Five years.

J-Mo:

Just when you thought Deal Or No Deal was the epitome of talent-free game-shows.

Bbitz:

I don't know why... BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW. I'll watch that fat kid get nailed over and over. Something tells me this show is gonna be huge. People will have those wall-pushers installed in their home pools just in time for next summer. Forever.

Treadingonme:

Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader is a success, and I have a feeling this will be too. Full season order, syndication by Summer 2009.

LoLo:

It's hardly appointment-television, but if you need something to make you chuckle after a long day, watching people get hit in the face by a wall should do the trick. Human Tetris rocks.

TVgasm predicts: The majority says this show will be on forever, but we all hope Hypnotoad is right.

Dollhouse, FOX, January

The story: Secret agents are brainwashed and retrained to be whoever they need to be to get the job done.

J-Mo:

Where is Barbie? And Midge? And Skipper? They're just as plastic.

Bbitz:

OMG! A show about pretty people whose brains are wiped clean as they go from playing one character to another. HOW COULD THEY EVER COME UP WITH THIS IDEA IN HOLLYWOOD!?!? 1 episode since it'll require acting capabilities beyond their pay grade.

Treadingonme:

This is, what, the 23rd show FOX has put around Eliza Dushku? FAIL. Nothing personaly Eliza. 3 episodes.

Flipit:

Elisha Dushku is programmed to forget all about Tru Calling, bang an old guy, and sleep in swimming pools. I'm onboard! This show will make it for at least two seasons.

Hypnotoad:

Love Joss Whedon. Love Eliza Dushku. Love Eliza Dushku even more when she's kickin' ass! Could this be the new Alias? But even more important: Will James Marsters join the cast and walk around with his shirt off? It'll make it to season 2, because the networks love them some Whedon. But by a thread, and after that, it'll be iffy. Shame. Looks like damn fun.

DearCrabby: Paying robots to do what you want, sort of an I,Robot meets West World. Uh, I need one in a Clooney, please. And no malfunctioning!

LoLo:

One of the only original-sounding new shows for this year, Buffy's Joss Whedon is the creative force behind this sci-fi thriller. Unlike Fringe and Eleventh Hour, this one doesn't give off a creepy vibe, and it stars one of my girl-crushes, Eliza Dushku. I'll be waiting for this one's January debut! Multiple seasons.

TVgasm predicts:

Two seasons.

Stylista, CW, Oct 22

The story: The creators of America's Next Top Model and Project Runway bring us The Devil Wears Prada, reality style. Winners get a job at Elle Magazine.

J-Mo: Cool, CW finally gets their own "Project Runway" meets "The Devil Wears Prada" knockoff brand... looks cheap and diluted just like real knockoff brands. Zzzzzz.

Bbitz:

I'd like it with Meryl Streep better. Only this time they let her carry a bat instead of hand bags. Full season.

Treadingonme:

The CW seems like a pretty solid network for a show to get a full season and still go under the radar. That said, this seems like one of the more well thought out ideas they've had. Also, it's basically a copy of any of the thousands of design shows out there already, so if it's not broken, why try to modify it at all to present people with alternative options? That's right, don't.

LoLo: Tyra Banks' quest for world domination continues in this reality show she's executive producing. But if watching people fetch lattes is the best she can come up with, perhaps it's time to let people feel her boobs again.

Hypnotoad:

Are there any people bitchier than fashion people? No, there are not. People love bitches, bitches! Water cooler fodder for fashionistas. One season at least.
