This is the second in an ongoing seriers of entries where I look at the upcoming TV season. Why? Cause I am a TV junkie. Admitting you have a problem is the first step.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nHeroes<\/span>
\nWhile not competing against a genre show, Heroes<\/span> may lose some ground to Prison Break<\/span> over on FOX. On the other hand, Heroes<\/span> is one of the only NBC shows that breaks the Nielsen top 20 (Football is the other one). So for the fourth place network, this baby is their golden ticket. If the series can recover from its wobbly second season (and given that the show’s creator has admitted their misstep, this might actually happen) they should be AOk!<\/p>\n

My Own Worst Enemy<\/span>
\nOne of the interesting things about this season is the lack of pilots. Due to the writer’s strike, there was no time to get the pilots shot. So instead, the networks have had to buy series based on scripts alone. The horror! The horror!<\/p>\n

What does that have to do with this Christian Slater vehicle? Well I am not certain if it genre or not. The premise sound genre enough, a mild mannered family man has a split personality. The catch is other person in his body is an assasin and spy. Apparently the personalities start to overlap and intrude on each other’s world. Think Scarecrow and Mrs. King<\/span> meets Nicki from Heroes<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Will this work? Who knows? Cristian Slater is promising, but it is in the NBC Monday night slot of death. The Black Donnelly\u2019s<\/span>, Studio 60<\/span> and Journeyman<\/span> all once were in this slot, and all have gone on to a better place.<\/p>\n

Not holding out much hope for this one.<\/p>\n
