Standoff: Fall Preview

editor@buddytv.com — Thu, 14 Sep 2006 08:14:34 GMT

Fall 2006 New Shows Rank: #9 Gist of the Show: Two members of Los Angeles' FBI CNU (Crisis Negotiation Unit) juggle their professional lives with a personal romance. Standoff is a new twist on the old hostage negotiator story. Cast Member Looking To Reclaim Former Glory: One of the most under appreciated actors of our generation, Ron Livingston (???Office Space???). Similar in Theme to: "The Negotiator" Time Slot Competition: Friday Night Lights, Dancing With the Stars, Gilmore Girls Likelihood of Second Season: 40% Final Word: If anyone can make a middling show enjoyable, it would be Ron Livingston. Standoff may not look great, but it has the kind of attractive cast and intriguing premise that might get viewers to turn in, even if Standoff isn't that good. I see the show has similar to Bones, and if that show can succeed on FOX, Standoff can too. -Oscar Dahl
