The network is promoting these for what they appear to be: two crime procedurals and a medical drama. In truth, however, they are superhero shows.Great Promotions on Greatest Purchase San Francisco Giants Franchise Fitted iwcwatches Shops.

Superhero shows have been a hard sell to network audiences, as last year’s dismal ratings for NBC’s “The Cape” and ABC’s “No Ordinary Family” proved. CBS seems to be getting around that problem by selling them like all its other dramas. But these are no ordinary dramas.

“Unforgettable” stars Poppy Montgomery of “Without a Trace” as a former detective with a rare medical condition that gives her a high-definition memory, able to recall the most minute details of every moment she has lived. We find this out in the pilot’s opening minutes in the most ham-handed way possible. By day she works in an Alzheimer’s ward, by night she goes to casinos and counts cards. Of course she does!

After that silly start, though, the show settles into an engaging character drama involving Montgomery and her old partner and flame, played by “Nip/Tuck’s” Dylan Walsh. What seals the deal is her preternatural way of rewinding memories frame by frame to solve crimes and make sense of her own inevitably troubled past.Buy Iwc schaffhausen iwc from edhardyhatsretailers.

“Person of Interest” doubles down on superheroes. You have Michael Emerson, the greatest of all the “Lost” alumni, as a Bruce Wayne figure,Replica buy authenticbellrosswatches, full lines of this brand you can find at our store, an enigmatic billionaire able to foresee when one of his fellow citizens of Gotham is in trouble; and Jim Caviezel as a Black Ops fugitive with an inhuman ability to dispatch a roomful of bad guys.

To be sure, Emerson’s character isn’t a superhero per se. He just happens to have invented a really smart computer program that can predict when people are in trouble. That’s all.

“Person of Interest” comes to us from the dream factory of J.J. Abrams, who co-created “Lost” and always likes to add a large dollop of fantasy to whatever he’s working on (like “Super-8” and his “Mission: Impossible” movie). It has great dialogue, characters and action. If Episode 2 is half as good as the pilot,uhrenwatchesstore at discount prices from SwissLuxury. this will be CBS’ breakout hit.

Then there’s “A Gifted Man,” about a brilliant surgeon (Patrick Wilson) who is forever getting advice from his loving wife (Jennifer Ehle), who is actually his ex-wife, or more precisely his ex-ex-wife,iwcwatchesvendor cartier mens pasha seatimer watches . since she’s deceased. This premise has been used before on TV, most notably on “The Ghost Whisperer,” a previous occupant of CBS’ Friday-night schedule where “A Gifted Man” is going.

But the fact remains that TV’s most-watched network is putting its chips for the fall season behind three crime or medical dramas with fantastic, escapist elements.
