When I heard that Anthony Head (best known for playing Giles in Buffy) was appearing in The Invisibles, a BBC drama about a retired master criminal trying to go straight and failing, I was cautiously optimistic. I’m a big fan of heist shows, like Hustle, in which clever types plot to steal money in ingenious ways from foolish and gullible rich folk. And although I’ve never been an avid Buffy fan, I remember liking the fact that Head played a British stereotype (stuffy posh bookish librarian type) as sympathetically and three-dimensionally as he could. So I was keen to see what the BBC would produce from this intriguing recipe.

Granted, all the networks have yet to reveal their schedules for next year, but in the wake of NBC’s unveiling of their fall schedule, I’m already getting a bit excited about what will be on the tube this September. Hey, after this pathetic excuse for a TV season, it takes very little to excite me. Seriously, film an hour of a kitten batting at a ball of string, and I’d probably watch. Here are at least five shows I’ll be checking out as soon as they hit the air.
5. Untitled Tricia Helfer Project. I suppose I should wait to see what the show’s actually about, but that really doesn’t matter. The hottest crazy cat lady ever already won my affection through her consistently fabulous work on Battlestar Galactica, and shallow or not, I like seeing such a frakking gorgeous woman take interesting, unexpected roles. It turns out her beauty is secondary to her talent and, basically, I’m just excited to see what she does next. Granted, she did sign the one-year talent holding deal with FOX, so there’s a chance she’ll end up in some bland procedural, but at the moment I’m hoping for only the best.
