Well, from what is there so far... my gut reaction is mild from seeing the Unnatural History previews. But it's not something that I want to watch.
And while I was typing this, there was a commercial for it... again, not feeling again. It's not spiking my interest, especially since this is a Cartoon Network original live-action show. Still to early to call anything, but who knows what will happen. There are people that are praising Unnatural History and this may be like it. But I am not riding my hopes on this show.
Eh...I will probably at least give this show a chance, but the superpowers thing REALLY doesn't excite me. Afterall, I'm sure we're all aware of what usually happens when live-action shows try to pull off special effects. At least the makers of Unnatural History were smart enough to mostly avoid that crap.
OK, so I want to go on and say between this show, Dude What Will Happen and Destroy Build Destroy... I will rather watch the former and Destroy all for the sake of my insanity, because I really absolutely HATE THE DUDES!!
(takes a moment to breathe)
. . . Uh, where is this information about superpowers from? And to say: at least this isn't like Nick or Disney. Here's my reason for saying this... better budget. With more money, they can pull off better effects than say what Nick and Disney can pull off.

It intrigues me. I am definitely going to watch it. My gut was right with Unnatural History, and Tower Prep should be good too.
There are vibes of Darker and Edgier present, these are kids who do not remember anything of their past, put into a school, have powers inexplicably, are being prepared for something, some of them might know more than they show, and there are odd, lethal traps present and battle classes hinted at.
Cartoon Network is getting better.
From the Other Wiki, I have their powers listed.
Ian has limited future sight.
CJ's power seems like thought reading.
Gabe Vi Britannia commands you!
Suki can apparently copy voices.

Okay, I expressed before that I didn't have high hopes for this series...
But then I found out that PAUL FUCKIN' DINI is the creator of this show, and now I MUST SEE THIS!!!
Though I wondering what made him turn to live action though.

Untitled Power Rangers Story^ My sister said that the name Suki is used a lot for Japanese girls in any media.

Follow me on tumblr!I sat through the whole hour, and really... I am lost. Maybe that should be the case as we have absolutely no idea what is going on with this show. OK, so it's good on that. My mind is still boggling over what is happening.
And then I notice something that stick out to me... Ian was playing Fusion Fall, of all things! Man, talk about Product Placement!
I liked that it made me Flash Back to The Prisoner (AMC version)

^ Me too.
I added a WMG page. My first entry is that they're on a different planet, which, given that the stars are totally different, isn't all that wild a guess.
The black girl in the blue uniform, was her name Monica, or Monitor? I thought it was Monitor.

Trump delenda estno here badge said "Monitor" remember the Head Master said "everyone here is called by title" math teach is called "Math", history teacher is called "History" on IMDB shes just labeled as "Monitor"

Untitled Power Rangers StoryI think Ian heard "monitor" and just interpreted it as "Monica" because he hadn't been told about the staff names yet and Monica is a much more likely name for someone to name their kid than Monitor.
The staff are aliens
This would fit with my previous WMG that the school is on another planet.
Oh and when I rewatched some of it on Tuesday I noticed that the "person" watching Ian had glowing green eyes just like a Gnome.

Found this Promo Teaser.
About several students who show up mysteriously at a prep school in the middle of nowhere.
I may be wrong, but I think I saw Michael Douglas for a few seconds.
