Show Review - K-Ville

[pilot episode, aired Sep. 17 on Global TV]

There are a lot of new big budget shows produced by the American networks each season with plenty of hype and promotion to get viewers to tune in. Each year I make a list of all the new shows I want to check out most. Because I'm a television addict that list usually gets fairly long. However, that list gets considerably shorter as the season goes on. Many shows prove to be disappointing flops while other shows, despite my liking them, end up being dropped from network lineups after poor ratings.

K-Ville, luckily, is a show that doesn't disappoint. Not only did I really like it, but the American audience (the only one that really counts in today's television world) loved it too. It garnered rather good ratings so unless the show suddenly gets downright awful in upcoming episodes, it likely won't get pulled by FOX.

Anthony Anderson and Cole Hauser prove to be the right picks to play the leads in the series, playing new partners in a New Orleans (post-Katrina) police department. The writing and directing are smooth and the story told is captivating. I definitely intend to watch it this season.

hi Buddy K-Ville, luckily, is a show that doesn't disappoint. Not only did I really like it,The pilot episode was written by Lisco (who also served as executive producer), directed by Deran Sarafian, and stars Anthony Anderson as Marlin Boulet and Cole Hauser as Trevor Cobb, partners who "have conflicting ideas about how to handle the city's problems."
