October Road

Yesterday a new show called October Road, premiered after Grey’s Anatomy on ABC. I initially started watching it because it starred Bryan Greenberg, who used to be one of my favorite characters on the show One Tree Hill. The show is about Nick Garret, played by Bryan Greenberg, and his return to his hometown after ten long years. He left right after high school for a backpacking trip through Europe, and he promised his friends and his girlfriend that he would be back after six weeks. But after those six weeks, he decided he didn’t want to go home and he wanted to take some time for himself. Within those ten years, Nick wrote a book about his hometown and all the people in it. The booking ended up becoming really popular and it made him famous. He was then asked to return to his hometown to lead a seminar at his local college. When he returned home, he was not welcomed by some of his old friends because he trashed them in his book. At the end of the episode Nick decides to stay longer and maybe get inspiration for his next book. I thought the show was pretty good and it kept me interested. I think it will do pretty well because it’s in the time slot after Grey’s, which a lot of people watch. However, a lot of people also watch Ugly Betty before Grey’s, so I don’t know how many people will stay tuned for three hours of TV. I guess we will just have to wait and see how it does.
