New show starting this fall.

4 minute teaser is up now. Could be good.

This really could go two ways- engrossing television with an engaging plot and great acting, or a totally corny, over-the-top flop.

I hope it's the first. I am intrigued.

[Rerun]

Oh no... not another show that I don't have a clue what is happening (see Lost).

[starseed]

I always thought I would watch Lost after it was all over, but I have no desire to go back and watch it all. If this is the next Lost, I will keep up with it.

[Burninator]

Looks like the next Flashforward to me. Interesting first couple episodes then the writers will run out of ideas and it will devolve into a typical cop/hospital drama.

[Hanni]

It's aliens.

Pfffttt, a black president, only in Hollywood I tell you!

I thought so myself, I just started watching Lost again a month ago and lemme tell you it's amazing the second time around, really enjoying it right now. Near the end of the second season right now.

Yes that was Last Comic Standing. He was saying that there are something like 200 hours of Lost. That is equivalent to watching 100 full lenght feature films.

I saw a preview on NBC. Thing that bugs me is they never say when the bloody show will start. Yeah, I know in the fall sometime. But throw me a bone. If you tell me the date, I can remind myself when it's closer. Otherwise I say screw it and forget about the show. I had until this thread came up. So hopefully before this show starts someone will post the date and then CP will email me now with the date and I will watch it. Such a process. I'm already intrigued NBC! Just give me the frickin date!

So when does it start?

It's no big deal. Stick with Treehouse and you'll never have a problem.

I'm going to watch at least the pilot just because the last line of the trailer is stuck in my head. "He's going to tell them.... about the event....."

Third week of September, give or take.

NBC? All signs point to suck.

Not many of these big budget, network t.v. dramas stick around past one season.

[Acey]

What it needs is an outstanding pilot to build some buzz, e.g. Lost.

The whereabouts of Max and Ruby’s parents confounds and infuriates me...Treehouse is a dark place for me.

You mean, NBC? All signs point to being awesome but then it will be threatened of getting cancelled because of bad ratings despite the show kicking ass. (Chuck).

[HotHotHeat]

^^^^ Sunset on Hollywood Blvd. (or whatever it was called)

For what it's worth, this Event show is being showcased at quite a few tv festivals over the next few weeks, so we should get some sort of idea whether it's going to make a serious run.

[Acey]

Premieres Monday, September 20 after Chuck's season premiere.
