The Nine...LAME

For weeks before it started i had seen ads telling me how great "The Nine" was going to be and how it would be the hit of the fall season. Being easily persuaded as i am, i gave the show a shot for a few weeks now and i have to say the first 2 weeks had me. A great concept of these people being in the bank at the time of a robbery and bonding afterward with some nice twists. The problem comes after the first two episodes when the writers seem to be reaching. This is a problem ive seen with multiple shows of the last couple years. The success of Lost and 24 makes producers think they have to have these week to week dramas(basically super long movies with commercials and no cussing). The problem is the writers of these other shows(The Nine, Windfall, etc..) are apparently not as good as the writers of Lost and 24. Their shows have good concepts but seem better suited for movies rather than television. OK they were all at the bank robbery and their perspectives change after the ordeal but i really don't care about their love lives and affairs with eachother. What makes Lost and 24 good is that there is constant action, no fluff time. Hopefully producers of the next shows will realize this...
