Am I just one of the sheep now, because I’ve actually grown to like the ‘Human Target’ reboot? Nah, because as much as I enjoyed tonight’s episode, I do have one huge nitpick … and I mean enormous.
The mid-season premieres continue to roll out, but not with the numbers that the networks might have been hoping for. ‘The Cape’ and ‘Off The Map’ both had less than stellar starts this week, while Bob’s Burgers took a hand-off from the NFL and scored big.
A few quick comparisons between ‘Human Target’s’ first and second seasons reveals that season two may have finally found its groove. It’s a different groove, to be sure, but it might not be so bad … right?
The Visitors are back, and we now know one thing for sure. Red Rain doesn’t do anything to boost ratings. On the other hand, people falling is still a crowd pleaser. ‘Winter Wipeout’ debuted to huge numbers.
The jury’s definitely still out on that, but the two-episode extravaganza ended with a possible game-changer that just might help us all like ‘Human Target’ again.
Each week I review a show that’s new to me. Good idea, or punishment (mine or yours)? You be the judge. But either way, if I had to watch it, the least you can do is read what I have to say….
As usual, the arrival of the holidays has the network schedules grinding to a halt. That leads to strange things like CBS only having three new hours, and ABC only having two. Or, NBC previewing one of their new shows and having nobody watch it.
