I hope Defying Gravity is more Apollo 13 and less Grey's Anatomy
Summer used to be a wasteland for TV, but now we see more and more shows debuting during the summer or having summer-only runs. Sometimes they're great, usually they're just reality shows. I haven't heard much about ABC's Defying Gravity (premiering August 2), other than it's about astronauts and from the producers of Grey's Anatomy. I hope it's more space/action-oriented than soap-oriented. I don't want to see a character named "McSpacey." It's stars Ron Livingston, Malik Yoba, and Laura Harris.

So you're just setting yourself up for disappointment. The press release includes descriptions like "sexy, provocative" and "intimate and interconnected relationships". They weren't kidding. It's supposed to be Grey's Anatomy in Space. Deliberately. If it doesn't end up being more romance than science, then THAT would be something you can be disappointed with the show about.

I'm torn, Grey's Anatomy in Space doesn't sound great to me, but Ron Livingston is hard to resist.

As long as Ron's attached, I'm willing to give it a shot regardless
