There were two new pilot shows on television last night and I am very pleased to announce they were extremely enjoyable.
The first starred the adorable Kristen Bell. She formerly played a high school detective in the show, Veronica Mars. Her new show is called The Good Girl. It's a fantasy comedy. Unfortuately, Ms. Bell died and goes to an in between place where all is supposed to be near perfect. Except, she was mistakenly sent there because while on earth her life was full of selfishness and an 'all for myself attitude'. This carries over into her new domain.
She has a mentor who attempts to turn her around but with great difficulty. An example, when she gets upset her favorite words are, "Oh fu*k" but since there's no swearing in the new place it always comes out, "Oh fish". This irritates her no end.
The show is cleverly written and is well worth the look see.
The second television pilot is called 'Bull' and stars Michael Weatherly, formerly DiNozo, from NCIS. He's a psychologist who profiles and solves murders. He's skillful, demanding and it's my way or the highway when it comes to his tactics.
Add to this Dr. Bull has demons of his own he has to overcome yet the show is riveting using modern day technology and his own brand of psychiatry to bring about successful conclusions.
One comedy and one drama on the mainstream television stations. It's mind boggling to finally watch the tube with being forced into reality tv.
