ORIGINAL EPISODES, WEDNESDAYS @ 8PM ON ABCThe second episode of this critically acclaimed new series on ABC was far better than the first. After accepting it for its quirkiness, I found that I enjoy this show a lot. Although, the truth is that without the unbelievably amazing chemistry between Lee Pace (Ned) and Anna Friel (Chuck) the show would be pretty dull. Every scene is accentuated by the connection between these actors and between their characters, creating that rare television magic that few shows ever find. Chi McBride and Kristin Chenowith are perfect additions to this relationship and have formed a great core of lovable and likable characters.
Granted the show is very far out there. How anyone came up with this idea and this world is beyond me but as I pointed out last week, they were probably a big fan of Tim Burton's work. Creator, Bryan Fuller, put together an incredible concept; I'm just not sure how long it can last. For now, the situational deaths and outrageous events are interesting and intriguing. From her
though I don't necessarily see how far the show can grow especially since Ned can never have a relationship with Chuck. He could find himself falling in love with someone he didn't bring back to life, and thus able to touch, but it wouldn't be the same. How this show grows and changes will determine its success or failure. For now, it's just fun to watch.

For now, it's just fun to watch.The idea that the President of a Car Company would use human cadavers to test a new car rather than crash test dummy's because they would register the car unsafe is actually not that far fetched. Everything else about this case was however. First, the cars ran on dandelions. Just ridiculous. Second, the President dressed himself up as a crash test dummy when he killed anyone who got close to figuring out the truth. Also, ridiculous. Third, the car models dressed up as giant dandelions. Even more ridiculous. Somewhat all of this adds up to an insanely ridiculous but enjoyable hour of television.
I wonder exactly when Ned will realize Olive has a thing for him. She could end up being a real love interest for him down the road. For now, Kristin Chenoweth is doing a great job as the quirky and nosy next door neighbor/waitress for Ned. If this week was any indication this show may just get better and better every week. Keep watching and let me know what you think.
