The New Show Game

[BriGuy20]

Since TV is often imitating, I thought it would be interesting to look at all the new shows and see what they're being ripped off from. Feel free to chime in.

Journeyman: Heroes/24/Lost/Quantum Leap
Bionic Woman: Heroes (of course)
Chuck: Alias (you'd think they could find a higher-rated show to rip off)
Lipstick Jungle: Sex and the City/Grey's

I am assuming that you are pretty young or that you didn't watch much TV in the '70s.

Well, obviously it's a remake, but it's being put on because Heroes did so well.

Totally different show than Heroes. The only thing in common is a normal person getting super powers and it is SciFi.

That's different than saying that Bionic Woman rips off Heroes which is what the object of your game was.

HEY! It's my game. Don't tell me how to play my game. :p

Chuck is a rip off of Jake 2.0 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0367344/)
Journeyman sounds an awful lot like Early Edition (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0115163/) logically crossed with Quantum Leap.
