Not as powerful as I had hoped

The only new show I was able to watch "live" tonight was Bionic Woman. I'm not going to say much because, well frankly, I was bored. All of the moments that were supposed to be shocking were seen all summer long in the preview. Since the pilot was first picked up by NBC, the little sister was changed from a deaf character played by an actress I've seen in many things to a character who has no hearing problems (but does have some sort of problem with staying out of trouble when she has access to a computer) played by an actress I've never seen. And, sadly, she was not a very good actress. And she wasn't the only one. This show was filled with people you've seen "somewhere," and even on some pretty good shows (Third Watch), but their characters here were just flat and not interesting at all. I may just keep this time slot for watching shows I've already recorded. Or give Private Practice another chance.

So, did you see either of the two? Which one should I give another try?

Well shoot, that's not what I wanted to hear. I have Bionic Woman taped and was hoping to read a good review. I watched Private Practice and that wasn't great but I read reviews that the 2nd episode is much better than the pilot so I'm going to give it another chance next week.

Candy, watch it anyway because I'm always interested in hearing what others think. I also heard Private Practice gets better, so maybe I'll give that a chance next week!
