PILOT REVIEW: Expedition: Impossible

EXPEDITION: IMPOSSIBLE Hosted by Dave Salmoni Created by Mark Burnett, Directed by Mike Murray Expedition: Impossible is a new reality competition on ABC from reality guru Mark Burnett and it is basically The Amazing Race but with teams of three confined to one country. It has the feel of a knockoff and it's not as entertaining as the comparable show but it's decent enough for summer filler. The show starts with 13 teams of three and there are of course the many "storylines" to follow - the city girls, the country boys, the team with the blind man, the gay guy team, the team with the old man, etc. As usual some of these teams are entertaining while others are just plain annoying. This edition of Expedition: Impossible takes place in Morocco which of course includes the sweltering desert and camel rides. While this is certainly a challenging expedition, there just wasn't enough excitement or drama in this show. They tried to hype the drama of the los...

PILOT REVIEW: Combat Hospital

COMBAT HOSPITAL Starring: Michelle Borth, Luke Mably, Terry Chen, Arnold Pinnock, Hamza Jeetooa, Gord Rand, Ellen Wong, Anne Bedian, Karan Oberoi, Dwain Murphy, Trenna Keating, with Deborah Kara Unger, and Elias Koteas Created by Jinder Oujla-Chambers, Douglas Steinberg, and Daniel Petrie Jr. Written by Jinder Oujla-Chambers, Douglas Steinberg, and Daniel Petrie Jr., Directed by Iain B. MacDonald Combat Hospital is a new summer scripted medical drama on ABC that is a cheap option for them since it is made in Canada and simulcast there. It centers on a group of military doctors at a hospital in Kandahar, Afghanistan in 2006. In many ways it hearkens back to M*A*S*H as it has some banter mixed in with the horrors of war. However, this show is more serious than M*A*S*H and not as good, though it really isn't bad for a summer drama. The main characters who arrive on the base in the pilot - Rebecca Gordon (Michelle Borth) and Bobby Trang (Terry Chen) - are both very l...

PILOT REVIEW: 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show

101 WAYS TO LEAVE A GAME SHOW Directed by J. Rupert Thompson Hosted by Jeff Sutphen I knew going in that 101 Ways to Leave a Game Show would be nothing more than mindless summer unscripted programming which is commonplace on broadcast TV these days. However, I choose to review each new show because you never know when the next big hit will come - remember Survivor and American Idol started as quiet summer shows. But this show is not going to be that. It's utterly stupid. In fact, it's one of the stupidest summer shows I've come across in a long time and that's saying something. I don't know where to begin to criticize this show but I'll start with the premise. It's not a horrible idea on paper but it just didn't pan out. It wants to be in the vein of Wipeout because of its outrageousness but it's not nearly as entertaining. We all know that these death-defying stunts will turn out fine so there's not much fun in watching them. A...

PILOT REVIEW: Love Bites

LOVE BITES Starring: Becki Newton, Greg Grunberg Created by Cindy Chupack Written by Cindy Chupack, Directed by Marc Buckland Love Bites is a quirky new comedy anthology from NBC that was originally slated to be on the fall schedule last September. However, numerous backstage problems led it to become a summer burnoff for the peacock network which is too bad because there is some promise here. In many ways a 2011 version of Love American Style , Bites follows characters through a series of vignettes that are loosely connected by a theme. The pilot focused on three stores - a girl pretending to be a virgin to make a guy interested, a man losing his job and having trouble in his sex life with his wife, and a married man whose fantasy of being with Jennifer Love Hewitt almost comes true on a plane. There are strong adult themes in this show but its layered in a very light escapist tone. The show is an interesting mix of nostalgia and hipness. The show is not groundbreakin...
