Cynthia Littleton at Variety says that "Kid Nation" turned out not to be so evil after all. Sure, we all got worked up about it and about the exploitation of kids, and the decline of Western Civilization, and so forth. But in the end, she says, it’s no big deal. The season finale airs tonight and then all the kids will fade back into quiet obscurity, some of them with a nice bump in their college fund and a note on their resume that can help them get into tony prep schools. Littleton would have us believe that the show has caused no serious problems for the US or for Western Civilization in general.
I disagree. It’s obvious to me that "Kid Nation" has in fact been a key factor in all of the problems the world is currently facing.
After just one season of "Kid Nation," the US Dollar has faded […]

"Moonlight," the vampire detective show bowing tonight on CBS, has been almost completely made over on- and off-camera since a short "presentation" that was shown to us critics this summer. Among other things, it hired and then jettisoned an executive producer from "Angel" whose presence gave everyone ideas about the show’s, um, inspiration. Star Alex O’Loughlin as the handsome though blood-drinking "hero" is about the only thing that hasn’t changed. He’s Mick, an L.A. vamp with a conscience who buys his blood from a dealer and takes on a mission reining in his less moral fellow vamps. Unfortunately, this is the only new fall show from the five major networks I haven’t received. But to judge by other critics, it’s no great loss…
"Yet it would be one thing if "Moonlight" stole from the best and made it its own. What it does instead is steal other shows’ lifeblood and water […]

Sometimes things get past us while we chronicle the torrent of new programming that is premiere week:

Apparently they’ve re-shot so much of "Cavemen" we’re not going to get an advance pilot before the premiere. And the location has been moved from Atlanta to San Diego for production reasons; in any case, they’re filming in L.A. (AP)
One blogger finds the pilot of "Moonlight" every bit as disappointing as we’ve heard. (TV Squad)
You can watch Sunday’s season premieres of "Dexter" and "Brotherhood" online right now. (BuzzSugar)

Ducky points out that the vampire-detective yarn "Moonlight" is using a slick new Celine Dion single in its latest promos. Apparently, fans of Celine Dion are often interested in other derivative, hackish work, so there’s a lot of marketing synergy to be harvested in that promotion. Way to go, CBS, you’ve successfully warned me away from yet another lame "Buffy" knockoff.

Buzzsugar is dubious, but I’m pretty darn negative about "Moonlight."   Studios and commentators alike seem to think that they can replicate the success of Buffy by writing about vampires. People didn’t like that show because of the supernatural adventures. People liked that show because it was well-written and well-acted, because it touched on real-life issues in a funny but tender way (High school being like hell on earth? The boyfriend acting different once he gets into the girl’s pants? Hello!). You can’t expect fans of one show to come to another if you just copy the most superficial elements. It’s like building a landing strip out of seashells and hoping that a WWII supply airplane will magically appear with a crate of Spam.
Besides, vampires were the monster of the 1990s, representing dangerous
sexual allure. The monsters of the 21st century are zombies, which
represent mob rule and thoughtless, pointless destruction pitted […]
