Town go Boom!

Anyone watch the premiere of "Boomtown" on NBC last Sunday? It was pretty good. At first, I thought it would be a ripoff of 24, but it's fairly original on its own.

Why not? It's a good show. You should at least check it out before dismissing it entirely.

Heh.
I think it has the potential to be the best crime drama sense Homicide.

I think I ended up watching Homicide for about 5 minutes before my eyes glazed over. Besides, most cop dramas suck donkey. But Boomtown has a unique storytelling device, so it could work.

Homicide was the most imaginative TV show in recent memory.
And L&WCI has Vincent Di'Nofrio, no less.

What about 24? That's definitely the most original so far.

It was good, yet no where near any of the great Homicide episodes.
Ever seen the one with Robin Williams?
Or anything?
THE great thing about 24 was it's structure. Homicide, however was flowing freely with greatness and/or brilliance on many early occasions.
