Reviews

Joshua Bozeman This was actually a pretty good show, with really great characters. There were 12 episodes made for season 1, but only about half of them ever aired. The show went off the air in December, so I doubt we'll ever see the episodes that were never aired. It would be nice for FOX FAMILY to have given the show a chance. It was refreshing, and the main character was original, along with his family and friends....it's a good show in general. It was a lot like other series of the type, but it had a different take, which worked really well, and which made it even better than the other series like it. Fox Family has some really good shows, like Two Of A Kind, S Club 7, Edgemont (sometimes), and others, and this would have made a nice permanent addition. Oh well......9/10 would be my rating.
buffbabe23 "The Fearing Mind" is a great show about a writer, Bill Fearing, his stories, and his life. I have to say that I really enjoy this show. The stories are very well thought out and they give you that creepy, spine-tingling chill. This show cleverly mixes the Fearing family's real life and the thrilling stories that Bill Fearing writes. It's a fun show to watch, like a series of "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" or "Goosebumps" for an older audience. The episodes usually start out at the Fearing residence where something is always going on. Then at some point Bill will start writing or daydreaming about his new story (there's a new one in each episode) and you see the story that is in his head. It's like a show within a show. Then it heads back to the real world where the Fearing family left off and then goes back and forth throughout the episode. Don't worry, it's not as hard to follow as it sounds. :) Every single episode that I have seen so far has been very satisfying and the actors (the main cast and the different actors in every story) are always great and bring a lot to the show. Go watch it!!
