But the cut-down looked fun, and exciting (and expensive), and as Kono, I’m glad to see that (to paraphrase What’s Alan Watching?/Firewall & Iceberg logo designer Dave Loehr) Grace Park is now carving out a career playing gender-bending versions of ’70s TV characters. Trailer that defied expectations in a good way: I wasn’t looking forward to CBS’ “Hawaii Five-O” remake, both because I don’t understand Nina Tassler’s fascination with leading man Alex O’Loughlin, and because I think the original is remembered way too fondly just because of its (admittedly awesome) theme song. ABC’s “Body of Proof” doesn’t seem like a show I’d watch regularly, since it’s a crime procedural that airs on Friday, but it’s a pretty unabashed Dana Delany star vehicle that steps back and lets her do her thing, and I fully support that. Other cut-downs that made me curious to see more: I like the cast and concept of CBS’ “Blue Bloods” and the trailer looked solid (albeit in the usual CBS meat-and-potatoes style). It looked like a lot of fun, and a good use of Chiklis, who was by far the best part of the “Fantastic Four” movies. Most promising clip reel: Probably ABC’s “No Ordinary Family,” with Michael Chiklis and Julie Benz as a family who get superpowers. And since I didn’t get a chance yesterday to offer any random thoughts on ABC’s shows, I’ll have takes on both network presentations coming up after the jump… ![]() Dan and I spent the vast majority of today’s mega-length podcast talking about the network upfronts, but we recorded it before CBS did their actual presentation for advertisers, complete with clips of the new shows.
