ABC Sneak Peek

Posted Wednesday, May 14, 2008

ABC is on top of it's game. They not only had promotional picture ready for their upfront presentations, they have video promos for two of their new shows.

Opportunity Knocks



It seems like it might be kind of neat, I can only imagine how much it would cost to be constantly moving the set!

Life On Mars



This seems like a neat show. Not only is it based on a BBC show that was hugely successful, it has Colm Meaney as the police chief. I could just be biased towards him because of Chief O'Brian (Star Trek: Next Generation & Deep Space Nine). If they keep the style of shooting with the older look it could be a really neat show.
