Half Baked TV Shows



I have been wanting to write this list for a long time now. When I say 'Half-Baked' I mean tv shows that have the potential to be WOW but fail to make that impact even though they have a killer production level.


So here goes:

1: Blue Bloods

'Blue Bloods' is a show centered on a life of a family of cops. It revolves around ethics, morale, principality issues about New York, but the cases are 'too easy to solve' and stuff about New York isn't incorporated much.

Full-Baked Comparison : CSI-Newyork - (On a side note I think Don Fleck is seriously cute!)



2: Castle

This show is half baked cop show n full baked chemistry, in a good way. It sells completely on the leads' chemistry which is quite excellently pulled off, again the cases fail to make an impact because they are too easy to predict. 15 minutes into an episode and I can tell who the killer would be.

Full-Baked Comparison: BONES.



3: SUITS n Franklin & Bash

These both shows make my summer! They do indeed. They are hilarious .. atleast Franklin&Bash is more funny than SUITS, but SUITS has Harvey Spectar and thats what makes the difference. Its half-baked drama n half-baked comedy with super super HALF-baked Law. Where are the good law cases? Isn't this suppose to be a Law Show?

Full-Baked Comparison: Boston Legal (Drama Law), Ally McBeal (Comedy Law)



4. White Collar

When I started watching this show I became an instant fan. Be it Matt Bomer's fine fine FINE suitings or the romance of paintings involved in this show.. I was a total sucker for it. But after one season I was like.. where is this show going? The show is about a con-man who starts working for FBI White Collar Division. This show is sitting on a goldmine. People love to watch con artistry, heist and stuff, its romance for the underdogs! but the show doesnt explore the con side of this story much and the cases are very tepid.

Full-Baked Comparison: Ocean's 11, 12, 13!



5. The Finder

Finder just recently started, the pilot which spin-offed in the series of Bones but once the show started it lacked the 'oommph' Why? - The show is based on the 'Locator' series books and is about a veteran whose brain is wired in such way that he can find just about anything. He is the locator. The Show should and could explore all the treasure hunting aspects but it doesnt.

Full-Baked Comparison: Relic Hunter.

My Love for this Bluegrass/Jazz/Alternate Rock Music!



I have a big space in my heart solely dedicated to alternate rock or progressive rock! Yes I am sucker for little electro beat, a bit base and sweet sweet guitar beats. Though I am a fan of the original classical rock but call this my guilty pleasure add a little bit of bluegrass/indie to it and m totally sold to it!

These are 3 of my favorite picks from my alternate/bluegrass playlist.

1. AWOLNATION - GUILTY FILTHY SOUL


2. IMA ROBOT - GREENBACK BOGGIE (Soundtrack of 'SUITS')


3. SOMEBODY NEW - AMPLIFETES
