I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

A Disappointing Continuation
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Hey Fox Listen Up Here !John Doe was a great show. I am not sure why they would cancel it. The ratings could not have been that bad. The acting is great. The script is wonderful. After watching the first 4 shows I got hooked. The theme is great for a show that seems not to have a big budget. The actors seems to really try to make the show real.Now all we need to do is call up fox, and yell to them. "hey we want this back" If you are not going to bring back the show at least release the right to someone who would like to bring it back!John Doe Must Live ON!
View MoreJohn Doe, in my opinion, is one of the best shows to come on TV in a while. The story goes like this, a man wakes up, naked in the woods and doesn't know who he is or how he got on the small island off the coast of Seattle. Crazy thing is he knows just about everything else and along with his search for his identity, he helps to police solve impossible crimes. The show was cut sadly after the first season, ending on a cliff hanger, which is always the absolute worst. The show was a little "iffy" at first, but once you get past that first episode, the show digs its hooks in and you find yourself tuning in week after week. The show has its less serious moments, when people around try to initiate conversation, or ask a sarcastic question, and Doe just spews out random facts, that "normal" people shouldn't, making things awkward yet funny. I'm glad Scifi picked the show back up again, and they need to air it more, at more convenient times. If anyone out there knows where i can download the episodes or if there's a complete season DVD i can but, by all means let me know. Definitely a must watch, so go and watch it now.
View MoreFrom the talented casting of Aussie Dominick Purcell as the color blind man with the head filled with enough facts for a dozen Jeopardy Tournament of Champions contestants, the show started with a mystery and ended with a major cliffhanger, along the way providing enough of a distraction with various encounters with the so-called criminal geniuses of Seattle, while giving the viewer a more than reasonably entertaining back story of the shadowy group who communicated by sign language in order to never be bugged or overheard.But what the real mystery was that as intriguing as the show was, right up to its cliffhanger season conclusion, is the usually unexplained habit the Fox network had of canceling shows that had a following, often as if they deliberately wanted to kill the show off (one case in point is the "Firefly" debacle).I often wish that somebody involved in the project would sit down and write a novel or two to help close 'the open doors left swinging in the wind by Fox capricious hatchet job on its own programming schedule.
View MoreI loved this series! John Doe's encyclopedic knowledge of... well, everything, is just fantastically amusing. He knows near everything, he can drive or fly everything - he's like a Matrix-esquire member of the world, and he makes the world in which the series occurs a highly amusing one. You'll laugh at the random things he'll say.He may not know who he is, but he knows everything else. He helps the local police department solve missing persons cases, and every episode he learns a little fact that may help him figure out who he is, or where he came from, and that makes the series seem even more involving.Well, just like most every series I'm fond of, it died out in one season. But thank the gods we still have SciFi to play it for us.
