TBJCSKCNRRQTreviews After a moderately successful novel, Mike returns to the small town he grew up in only to find that the locals are unhappy with him using them as the "inspiration" for said book. He joins the newspaper there, and stays around... you know, I'm not entirely certain why. Because this did manage more than one 40-ish minute episode, I suppose? Yes, a whopping nine total, and seven of them were released on DVD(together with with three trailers, one for this, the other two for Asian Vision and Shaun of the Dead) edited into three feature-length combos(in an utterly random order, leading to something being solved early on, only to suddenly be an issue later) under the titles of DemonTown I, II and III. The relative lack of continuity actually makes them run awkwardly together... more than once, I mistook the opening sequence of one bit for part of the ending of the previous one. Anyway, the young male journalist of course has a penchant for figuring things out, and he aids the sheriff(his child-hood friend) Rudy and the coroner/obvious love interest Ellie(pre-Without A Trace Poppy Montgomery) in determining the truth behind the seemingly supernatural murders and abductions. They encounter vampires, decapitating clowns(!), possession by the devil and The Silence of The Lambs(hey, they make that reference, as well). The conflict is too often soap-opera-ish, the mystery comes off as Scooby-Doo level(albeit they do keep you guessing(after a while, it gets annoying with all the red herrings), and mostly holds up, if one or two explanations don't make sense), and the quirky characters just aren't that compelling(not to mention that they seem to change drastically on occasion, when the writers got a new idea; they are easily forgotten about). The acting is fine. This can be funny, but it tends to have a goofy tone, and it's pretty paint-by-numbers. I'd say this could have been better, it had potential, it simply didn't get around to realizing it. Would it have, had it gotten more time to try? Meh. Maybe. I don't think the viewers would have stuck around to find out(as a matter of fact, I suppose that is exactly what did happen... too many of us gave up on it, understandably enough). The dialog can be clever. I enjoyed seeing Emily VanCamp of Everwood(evidently she likes being the charming hottie in a little, forgotten village) fame. The production values are decent. Kevin Williamson swung and missed, with this one(maybe he got too much credit from us for Scream). This can be tense and scary, if ultimately it feels unsatisfying and doesn't leave any kind of lasting impression on you. If you ask me what this was in a few weeks, it may take me a while to recall. There is some bloody, gory, violent and disturbing content in this. I recommend this to fans of crime-dramedy, who the "lightness" of this appeals to. 6/10
WiSH-on-the-StArS This show was truly an accomplishment for the WB, giving a nice break from their sap-dripping teen shows that only Gilmore Girls and Smallville have seemed to accomplish otherwise. The dry humor was wonderful and refreshing, and the romantic tension between Mike and Ellie was fun and edgy, avoiding what many other shows do not - jumping into it too fast, leaving no room for anticipation or appropriate development. Also, the weekly obstacles created not only something to look forward to, but something that truly held one's interest for the entire hour. The characters were great in each aspect, often going outside the lines while not being outrageous, just delightfully quirky. Unfortunately, as the WB often does, this show was canceled due to "poor ratings" in nearly impossible and illogical timeslots, being a midseason replacement for the popular Angel and jumping between airing after 7th Heaven and Dawson's Creek, who's audiences would not likely be interested in this show, of a very different genre, in that place. Well, we can always hope for a video release.
UrbanLegendzGal In a genre of TV shows populated with such-- dare I say it?-- excretement as Dawson's Creek, Gilmore Girls, and all reality TV, Glory Days brings back a lost line of hope to the WB. It is a beautifully crafted show finally worthy of Kevin Williamson's talent.The show takes older murder mysteries (for example, Murder She Wrote) and turns them into, if not better, more appealing to the teenage eye. Its eye candy measures up to its content, because it doesn't slack on that, either. It has interesting, real characters who feel and flirt and fool around in a way that doesn't bore like the endless trysts of Pacey, Dawson, and Joey (doesn't that sound like a GLAAD smile beaming?). And while building characters, the show never loses its plot, that it is a murder mystery and each episode can stand alone...the show is a beautiful revival of favorites like the Twilight Zone and Eerie. And Eddie Cahill's utter beauty doesn't hurt either...*wink* Check it out- you won't be disappointed!
BHorrorWriter ...So far, two episodes have aired. And so far, I can't say I hate it...yet! Kevin Williamson is probably the writer which I have the least amount of respect for. Okay, Scream was okay...it was fresh and new--not HORROR, but new suspense! Then Dawson's Creek, Scream 2, the utter garbage that was Teaching Mrs. Tingle, and he took 100% credit for just rewriting Lois Duncan's book, I Know What You Did Last Summer. Well, I just really don't like him...He is a smug, whiny, gay man, with little talent! I think him being openly gay is the only thing I respect about him!Now, with that said..Glory Days. I was really expecting to see a dark Dawson's Creek...and in some ways this show is that, but in others it isn't, and steers away from the typical BS Mr. Williamson is famous for. The acting is acceptable, though I didn't think lead man Eddie Cahill was all that good while he was on Friends. He just doesn't capture me as a good actor. He has not expression, however, being gay and and an up-and-comer in hollywood isn't easy. But, he still needs to work on his acting! Jay Feguson plays the sheriff excellent! The rest of the cast, I will not tear apart, but each are okay, but nothing superb. One of the greatest things about the show is the Beautiful Vancouver scenery. It seems Canada is always used for "anywhere" USA. Which is fine, because the images are beautiful. Overall, I don't think this show will last...Only because of the 1st 2 episodes...there was no real meat to them. The 2nd episode was a deliberate rip-off of Exorcist, with a twist, but we (the audience) are expected to beleive way too much...which is typical Williamson. Where did this kid get all this equipment to set up these pranks? I don't know...I can't get into all this...it would just be too complicated!I will continue to watch, until too much of Kevin Williamson is evident in the show. And here is a hint, Kevin: Real people don't talk the way every one of your characters do...especially young people! There is not reality to your characters.(score pending)After 2 episodes: 6 out of 10
