Big Bruckheimer fan here… I mean BIG Jerry Bruckhiemer fan here…
So of course I wanted to love Jerry’s new Fall 2009, The Forgotten..
I’m still trying to love it… haven’t given up hope yet but also haven’t fallen in love.
The show features a mismatched group of wannabee detectives solving the mystery of every John and Jane Doe in town. Sometimes a bit melodramatic but still watchable.
With macho man Christian Slater heading the cast the show does have the potential.
Add in a few more Bruckheimer car chases and some stunts and the show just might make it.
Cars and TV Shows go together like birds of a feather….
