More good shows!

Wow. ABC has really ramped up their fall lineup.

“Daybreak” looks like the best new show to pop up. Taking LOST’s time slot after they air the first 7 episodes, Daybreak is a series like the movie “Groundhog Day”, but way more serious. A New York cop gets framed for the murder of a District Attorney, and he ends up reliving his day over and over again. This same plat device was used years ago on the FOX made for TV movie “12:01”, and hasn’t been used much since, (Although I do remember an episode of Xena that dealt with the repeating day thing).

“The Nine” looks good as well. Nine people are in a bank when it get robbed, and the series seems to follow their lives after they are rescued. Looks intriguing, with a lot of character focus.

“Traveler” is also up there. 3 friends go to visit a museum in New York. After 2 of them race through the museum and they exit, they call their friend Will Traveler, and then the museum explodes. The series is very much like “The Fugitive”, but then again “The Fugitive” is a classic series, so it should do well.

The one show that looks intriguing, but I’m kinda lukewarm about is “6 Degrees”. Produced by J.J. Abrams (Lost, Alias) it’s kinda like “6 Degrees of Separation” but in a series format. It looks ok, but after 2 action packed series, it’s odd seeing a straight drama out of him.

3.5 good shows – I’m gonna have to get a bigger hard drive :(
