Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #12
Gist of the Show:
Nine people are bound by some unknown force after they experience a bank robbery (and subsequent stand-off) together. The format of
The Nine is similar to
Lost: every episode reveals a couple more minutes of the robbery and stand-off.
Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory:
Baby-faced Scott Wolf, who still looks exactly like he did during his "Party of Five" days.
Similar in Theme to:
Lost
Time Slot Competition:
CSI: NY, Kidnapped
Likelihood of Second Season:
75%
Final Word:
ABC has given
The Nine the all-important post-
Lost time slot. They are obviously confident in
The Nine and expect it to become a hit. The previews, however, have left a lot to be desired. It feels like a two-bit version of
Lost, but with the mystical mysterious moved from a desert island to an urban setting. Also, watching any show after
Lost is an inevitable letdown.
