Go Ahead and Pull the Plug Already

This was not good, right?  I mean, not good at all.

After the one-two punch of Alias and Lost and the delicious eccentricity of Fringe, it seemed J. J. Abrams was dedicated to making shows I wanted to watch.  I'll give Undercovers a pass because it played like a Hart to Hart reboot and it had Ben Schwartz, but Alcatraz?  No thanks.  Person of Interest?  Not interested.  Bad Bad Robot!

The Revolution pilot was difficult to get through.  A real eye-roller.  Cringe-worthy.  I tried to channel my twelve-year-old self, but he would rather sniff glue out of a sock. 

Not even the presence of Giancarlo Esposito or the promise of Elizabeth Mitchell is likely to change my opinion on this one.
