Point Pleasant - Premieres Tonight!

[Elwe Singollo]

Although i'm not expecting anything big (because i'm not a real big fan of the creator) the show looks interesting... Anyone else going to watch it tonight?

[yaaayoubetcha]

i expect it won't last through spring....

It has exactly one episode to impress me....maybe less.

Please post here how it is. When is the regular airtime? I thought it was supposed to air on Thursdays @9pm?

I'll be watching Alias.

The time slot for this show is just not gonna work . . . with Alias fans.

I'd like to check it out, but since I can't record one show and watch another on my Satellite (can't afford TiVo) it's not gonna happen (which is why I gave up Smallville for Lost).

I'll check back for reviews though . . .

Tonights premiere of Point Pleasent is only a temporary timeslot, its only premiering tonight so that it may get ratings help from American Idol. Its normal night is tomarrow on Thursdays.

If if i read right, Fox will have another new episode tomarrow.

So tonight will probably be the only night against Alias.

Hmm....maybe I can persuade someone to tape it for me then....

Ok, imo, Point Pleasant isn't too bad. I got really interested in the whole Christina (the main character) being some kind of devil's child who's mother was some heavenly person, or thats what it looked like to me.

Very OC-ish... Haha...

I really REALLY wanted to watch once I saw James Morrison was in the cast, but with sex, sex and more sex I turned off the TV instead. Jeez. Gods forbid there should be a plot mixed up in all the sex.

Are we forgetting that this is FOX??

I recorded Alias tonight and used another television to watch between commerical breaks (was watching Alias on the other television as well), some of Point Pleasant.

I wasn't impressed, though I am sure fans of the O.C. will love it, since it is about the same show.

There are a couple good looking girls on the show, the rest of the cast, save "The Sentinel" (Richard Burgi, if memory serves correctly), look absolutely plastic and even he seemed to not be finding his character.

Sex is all well and good, but it gets pretty boring every other 5 minutes, especially when nothing is being shown, just implied. Show it or don't, in my opinion. You want to imply something, once or twice a show. That's it, otherwise all you are doing is trying to appeal to horny teenagers and not giving any sort of payoff. What with the horrible acting, the "hardbodies" that only a studio suit could love....and talk about horrible special effects.

This makes Buffy the Vampire Slayer (I'll admit, I did like the show, but it wasn't a must see for me), look like an absolute masterpiece and the epitome of realism.

The "flys" in the final ten minutes were more laughable than terrifying and to think I didn't watch the commercials on Alias....I wonder what I missed....lol

I'll give it one more episode, from start to finish to make my final judgement, but all in all......horrible first impression.

Imo, the acting was pretty good considering that they all (most of them) are pretty much unknown actors, but for some reason, i did catch that the guy who saved the main character was a red ranger, haha...

I can't really disagree on the special effects part... I guess they didn't hire good people...

"That's strange. The OC doesn't come on Wednesday nights. Hm. My satellite guide says this is Point Pleasant, but all I'm seeing is the beach, sex, good looking teens played by people in their 20s, sex, drama, sex, the beach again, sex, sex, sex. Hey, look! Demon insects! And sex."
--Me, watching the pilot episode of Point Pleasant

And it's coming on right after The OC tomorrow, too.

I won't be making any plans to see this show. I have better things I watch on Thursday nights, like... Okay, I don't have anything else to watch. But I'm still not watching this show. I'm giving them one more episode to change my mind. The last thing I need is another OC. I'm a Degrassi viewer, anyway.
