Aliens and Witches and Face Slaps, Oh My!

By Seth Freilich | Trailers | May 25, 2009 |

Here’s the trailer for “V,” slated to air in early ‘10, which ABC played at the upfronts last week. It’s one of the few new shows in the upcoming season that I have any true interest or excitement in. I’m still not sure how it’ll play out — I could see this show being tits, or being a complete waste — but I’ll be tuning in to find out. But if we don’t get to see Alan Tudyk climbing through the airducts watching a Visitor eat a mouse, there’s gonna be some anger around these parts.

(’80s special effects — get some!)

And here’s the trailer for “Eastwick.” While I like the basic idea well enough, this trailer has the show looking the typical ABC too-heavy-with-the-music dramady that tries to cater to the women demographic a bit too strongly, forgetting to respect them in the process (i.e., I chicks would like a little more than eye candy, melodramatic music and faux-empowerment).
