Valentine
Another new show airing on the CW is Valentine, which premiers on Sunday, September 21, 2008 at 8:00 pm. I have to admit that I’ve read the info on this one, and it sounds a little strange. The press release calls it a “one-hour romantic comedy” and I don’t quite get that. The only reason I’m gonna give it a chance at all is cause I like Kristoffer Polaha, who is in the cast, along with Jaime Murray, Autumn Reeser, Patrick Fabian, Greg Ellisand Robert Baker.
The premise is that a family of Greek Gods, the Valentines, are here on earth to assist people who are falling in love. Or maybe they are supposed to make people fall in love. Something like that. The press release says, “Valentine looks at love, fate and the work it takes to make romance happen.” Yikes!
The Valentines must do whatever it takes to bring “soul-mates” (totally not my word) together, but at the same time, they have to keep their true identities secret. Murray is Grace Valentine, who in reality is the Goddess Aphrodite, a sexy, seductive family matriarch. Polaha is her son Danny Valentine, really Eros with a magic gun that makes people fall in love temporarily. There is also Hercules (Baker), who is Danny’s best friend, and Phoebe Valentine, the Oracle at Delphi (Reeser). Her role is to help the family track down these “soul-mates.”
Kevin Murphy (Desperate Housewives, Reaper, Ed) is the Executive Producer/Creator for the series along with Executive Producer Courtney Conte.
I’m not sure about this one.
