I have a confession to make. And it’s pretty embarrassing to admit.
I have recently become obsessed with Kyle XY, from ABC Family channel. The supporting cast are definitely not the best actors. The story has been very predictable so far. The morals of the the Trager family are less than appropriate for a family channel. And they always have a tug-at-your-heart-strings ending to every episode.
Then why do I love the show?
Kyle XY is a show about the making of a superhero. If I would have known that, I would have started watching from day one. As it is, I caught a rerun. Through which, I was immediately hooked and grabbed the remaining shows off iTunes. (There were only 10 episodes in the first season.) The reruns were playing as a catch-up and countdown to the debut of season 2 (which aired this past Monday night).
The synopsis:
A young man wakes up to find himself in a forest, naked, with no memory of anything, and no bellybutton. Though Kyle has no memory, he does have an incredible mind and is able to learn very quickly. A psychologist takes the remarkable Kyle into her home; and it doesn’t take long for her family to “adopt†Kyle as one of their own. But who is Kyle? And where did he get his amazing abilities?
Supporting cast:
Marguerite MacIntyre as Nicole Trager
Bruce Thomas as Stephen Trager
April Matson as Lori Trager
Jean-Luc Bilodeau as Josh Trager
Chris Olivero as Declan McDunaugh
Kirsten Prout as Amanda Bloom
Nicholas Lea as Tom Foss
Season One is now available on DVD.
And catch Season Two on Monday nights on ABC Family.
– For you Canadians, it airs on SPACE: The Imagination Station & A-Channel.
– And for those in the UK, Kyle XY airs on Trouble channel.
Oh for shame!!!
Lancelot likes that show, but I can’t bring myself to watch it because every time I see the name of the show I think it’s something about KY jelly, and I just can’t take anything seriously that makes me think of lube.
” I have to tell you somthin,
I have no belly button.
No belly button?
uh huh.
No belly button?
uh huh.”
…..Veggie Tales song
Is it an ongoing plot line kind of show? Or does each episode have it’s own story line?
Gal
Gypsy – Gee, thanks. I hope I’m not thinking that next time I watch. 😛
Olga – Ah, Veggie Tales.. I do think I’ve heard that song.
Gal – It’s very plot oriented. Each episode gives us a little more into Kyle’s past and the mystery surrounding him. But each episode also has a separate plot that ends each episode. Like a day-in-the-life of Kyle and family.
A Channel is London, very cool. I have a love for a show that’s probably not really appropriate but I can’t help it, I got hooked into it. *sigh* Yes I am a fan of the Trailer Park Boys.
No need to be embarrassed! The show is really great, the season premiere was amazing one of the best I have seen so far. I have to say I was really impressed that they gave us so much info on the first night that lets me know we are so in for a great ride this season!
Ashley – It was a great season opener. And we did get a lot more answers that I thought we would! I’m looking forward to the new girl.. I wonder if she’ll be Kyle’s counter-part? The super-villian to Kyle being the superhero? hmm
My name is Chelle and I am addicted to Kyle XY also. If anyone asks me I just tell him that my son loves it! 🙂
Chelle – Good. We can start a Kyle’s Anonymous support Group.
I’ve been wondering about this one. I’ve seen things on TV for it. It doesn’t sound half bad… and plus his eyes are beautiful!
Yep, I watch it too…but then, I shamelessly am addicted to all sorts of “guilty pleasures” on televison.
