Starveillance Pilot

I watched the pilot, and Starveillance is now on my list of must-see shows. If you didn't catch it, it's an animated spoof (claymation) of video papparazzi catching unguarded moments of celebrities. The papparazzi (also claymation) host the show and introduce the clips. They are interesting in themselves - 1 straight, 1 with a thing for David Hasselhoff - they're young and hip, reminiscent of MTV VJs.

Some of the celebs were captured perfectly (Jennifer Anniston looked exactly like the real thing) while with others, you didn't know who they were supposed to be until you heard their name. Brad Pitt looked more like Mark Valley from Boston Legal, and other than hair color and 6-pack abs, bore no resemblance to the actual Pitt.

But the sketches were clever, and the show kept me laughing, so this goes into the tivo season pass list for sure.

TV Shows Coming in January 2007

Here are some tv shows coming in January that I'm excited about:

Starveillance premieres on E on January 5th. This claymation comes from the same people who created Celebrity Deathmatch, but looks to be funnier (Celebrity Deathmatch was funny the first couple of times, but then it got old). You can see short clips from the show at http://www.eonline.com/search/index.jsp but you'll have to sit through a short commercial first (which is pretty lame considering the clips themselves are ads for the show).

The Apprentice (NBC) starts up again on January 7th. Oh, Donald, how I've missed hearing you say "uge" (instead of "Huge").

The Sopranos - starts January 10th on A&E. I don't have HBO, so I never got a chance to see this show before now.

Heroes (NBC) is coming back to living rooms everywhere on January 22. (I love you, Hiro Nakamura.)
