San Jose Mercury News-Roswell

Thanks so much to Edith for sending this in :) San Jose Mercury News (Note: the article has been edited to include only the Roswell related statements)
For Mercury News television writers, hope springs eternal. . . . . . . . . With the new season officially under way this Monday, here are some TV dream wishes from former Mercury News TV writer Mike Antonucci and current TV writer Charlie McCollum: Charlie McCollum: . . . the WB doesn't foul up "Roswell" The wonderful thing about the WB's "Roswell" in its first season was the way it was able to mix a sci-fi with character-driven teen drama. That's made it unique. Now the geniuses at the WB - the same ones who let Keri Russel of "Felicity" cut her hair last season - have decreed that there should be more science fiction and less drama. That's counterintuitive, since the best sci-fi shows have always been the ones most grounded in plausible character development. Let's just hope "Roswell" can survive the tinkering. Mike Antonucci: . . . "Roswell" lives long and prospers Let the WB's "Roswell" find success, as a niche hit, or as the network's most-improved-and-almost-respectable ratings climber. Something, anything. It's a largely undiscovered, misunderstood gem that's much more than a sci-fi show. It's the most worthy returning program that's in danger of not surviving the season. |
