Super techie
A phrase I never expected to read (ever), much less from the Times: “exciting new UPN series.” Which of those words do not belong with the others? Well, that’s what they’re calling Jake 2.0, about an awkward NSA tech-support geek turned bionic hero. Entertainment Weekly, however, says, “Kinda sweet, for a UPN action hour that has about as much of a chance for survival as last season’s Twilight Zone remake.” It stars Christopher Gorham, whom I loved in the late WB series Popular (a show that I hated at first, but eventually warmed up to). We’ll see. It premieres tonight at 9 p.m.
