Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #10
Gist of the Show:
The son of a wealthy Manhattan couple is
Kidnapped. The show is told from the point of view of the parents, the investigators, and the kidnappers.
Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory:
Mykelti Williamson, who was Bubba in Forrest Gump.
Similar in Theme to:
Ransom, with Delroy Lindo playing, essentially, the same character.
Time Slot Competition:
The Nine, CSI: NY
Likelihood of Second Season:
20%
Final Word:
There are a lot of new shows with dramatic one-word titles and
Kidnapped may be one of the better ones. It is a serial, but the buzz has been good and the cast (Dana Delaney, Timothy Hutton, Jeremy Sisto, Delroy Lindo) is excellent. If
Kidnapped can pick up a solid audience in the early going, this is the kind of show that will hook people.
