Watching KVille

Two of the people in this photo are making me angry right now. Can you guess which two? Hint: It’s not Anthony or Cole.

So, KVille is my new beat, and the first week that I get to write about it, Prison Break has to take up the two precious prime time hours that FOX has on a Monday night. I’m so over Prison Break, and that is hard because I think that Wentworth Miller is pretty hot. But even he cannot make me watch that show anymore. Granted, I only watched the second season, after missing the first, but still, they should have ended it last year. Actually, I don’t even think I made it to the end of that season before I drifted off…

But wait, I’m writing about KVille here.

Let me explain my feelings about KVille, so as there is no confusion. Much like the previous Watching KVille author, I too feel that the show became better after the pilot. The second episode was more watchable, because frankly, the pilot was crap. I had such issues with the editing of the car chases — I get jump cuts, trust me, four years in film school will teach you all about jump cuts — but come on, already. And the sheer number of car chases drove (excuse the pun) me crazy as well. I wrote a review of the pilot for another site, and I was not kind.

But lo and behold, something made me watch KVille again, and I don’t know if happy is the right word, but I was something. The show was better. There was some character development. The direction wasn’t as jumpy, though still as sappy. And who knew it, but I really like Anthony Anderson.

So, here’s to KVille. Cheers.

And wow, I am actually disappointed that I won’t have a new episode to make fun of this week. Truthfully though, I did miss a couple of episodes, so let’s make this next week a catch-up week for all of us. FOX is gracious enough to post the full episodes on the FOX website, so let’s take advantage of this opportunity to get to know each other as we get to know KVille. Looking at the dates of past posts, it looks like it has been a while since this blog has had an author.

I’m Lulu, nice to meet you.
