Count me in for New Amsterdam! He is definitley a hottie, and the show may not win any awards, but in this tv drought it is certainly good enough. I’m afraid to get too attached as well (Fox is tricky like that), but I am really enjoying the backstory and the hottie. So there you go.

I am watching New Amsterdam, and I like it. I think they will be able to blend the backstory with the procedural cop stuff better in future episodes. Remember how Pushing Daisies went though that time where they had to remind anyone new to the show what in the h – e – double hockey sticks was going on? It is kind of that way with this show. I think they can hit their stride. Neat concept, good acting, and improving writing – I hope it is given a fair chance.

And the pilot is worth watching just for the awesome CGI of the growth of Times Square through the last few hundred years. Really well done.

Raheim is finally gone! i think i will kinda miss his crazy eyes, creepy stalking and daily threats to people though. does anyone else notice the ridiculous sweating that occurs during pandora’s box. the guys look like they are melting. this show is the sweetest train wreck on tv.

I’m watching Paradise Hotel 2 as well! I hated Raheim. He thought every girl he looked at was off limits to the guys! Nice try, buddy!

I have downloaded the first 2 episodes of New Amsterdam on iTunes and I love it. It is my gym show….I only watch it on the treadmill or bike. Any word on if it is getting another season?

Also…The Bachelor is so trashy. I cant stand it and yet I watch it. Way to reinforce all the bad stereotypes Brits have about Americans by picking out a bunch of over-dramatic and trashy girls for him to date. Ugh.

I would love to see more backstory on New Amsterdam. The police work stuff is OK, but not nearly as interesting as his history is. He’s a great lead, very appealing and I love his accent!

I’ve been watching Amsterdam too. It’s actually pretty good. The lead is really good (and totally hot!!) and has nice chemistry with his partner and with his potential love interest. The immortality angle is very interesting and I love the flashbacks that show previous portions of his life. It’s a seemingly endless wealth of storyline possibilities.

I am afraid to get too attached to it though, since I’m not sure if it’s coming back. But I’ve heard that it’s ratings are ok. It has to be doing better than Canterberry’s Law, which was banished to Friday nights after only 2 episodes.

I like New Amsterdam. It’s not fabulous, but it’s a good way to spend an hour.

Oh, come on! You missed two episodes of the bachelor. Catch hp! You can fast forward thorugh alot of it but I have to say, I ususally only watch the first couple anyway and then get bored. Not so much this time. Matt is hilarious and seems vary candid.

But I am more curious as to where you are on the Supernatural front?

New Amsterdam:

I am really enjoying it. It’s a new take on the immortality schtick, which is refreshing. I know many Moonlight fans are against it (I don’t know why, it’s not direct competition at this time), but in reality, they both have their pros and cons. While I like the romance in Moonlight more, overall New Amsterdam has better acting, in my opinion.

I like how N.A. wraps parts of his history into each story so that you find out more about what he has done, especially how he’s dealt with marriage and children. I’ve read complaints about the detective part of the show…but it seems as though most of that is filler so we can see his history and his burgeoning romance. Last week’s story was a bit week, but other than that, I’ve really enjoyed it.

I’ve been watching New Amsterdam since it premiered. (Although I keep forgetting it comes on so I catch it the next day on the Fox website) I like it. I think the writing could use a bit of work but it’s holding my interest.
