New show - Sleepy Hollow

[avebury]

Has anybody else watched the Pilot of Sleepy Hollow? I was not sure if I wanted to watch it because I am actually trying to cut back on watching TV but I just watched the Pilot on demand. It was pretty good. I think that I will continue to watch it. It is a little more Sci-fi/Fantasy then a lot of shows and I like Sci-fi/Fantasy types of shows. Since the Scifi channel became the Syfy Channel it does not offer as much Sci-fi shows as it used to.

1. I watched it.

I can't decide if it was really good or a little too campy for me. I'm giving it another two weeks before I decide if it goes in my Hulu queue.

2. I watched the first 15 minutes

it seem Crane wasn't too affected by being in THE FUCKING 21ST CENTURY.

Campy for sure.

3. How based on the real Sleepy Hollow is it

I grew up just outside of Sleepy Hollow and heard the story a lot earlier than most did.

In 5th grade, my girl scout troop did gravestone rubbing in the cemetery where they're all buried.

4. I am not sure, having never been to

Sleepy Hollow. In the show, the headless horseman is one of the 4 horses of the Apocalypse. If he can find his head, the other 3 will join him and the end will come. Even if is is campy it is still better then all the reality shows out there. Crane might not have been continually freaked out about finding himself in the 21st Century but the character also understands that there are a lot of things that are not easily understood. Throughout the first episode he had a lot of flashbacks that helped him to piece things together what happened to him in the past (together with some dreams with his dead wife who adds some explanations to what has happened).

Campy or not, I am going to continue watching it.

8. Not at all

this show seems to be postulating that the Headless Horseman is actually one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse and Ichabod Crane is destined to fight him and whatever comes.

It's really kind of cheesy and the suspension of disbelief is out of this world but it's kind of fun.

5. I thought it was really stupid

I turned it off about halfway through.

9. I watched it and liked it until

The headless horseman started shooting up the place with a shotgun and an AR-15 rifle.

10. I only set my DVR to record the first one

so I could see if I liked it before setting it to record the whole series. I will be setting the DVR to record the series this week.

It's a far cry from the original Sleepy Hollow story, since when is Ichabod Crane a hot guy instead of a skinny geek?, but I really liked it.
