I agree - it's a pretty good storyline, very fast paced - good acting as well.. hope it lasts

Well it'll last until ABC airs all the episodes, i woudln't expect to ever see it after that as they didn't really start airing it until 'summer'

Why is Hitch on both TNT and TBS?

Because I got home and my girl was watching it, so in an attempt to dissuade her from watching it so I could watch the Phils, I said, "it's not even in HD, why don't we watch the Phils, at least the game's in HD", after which I went and got a beer and when I came back, she had Hitch on in HD on a totally separate channel, and I thought, well, eff this, it's obviously not meant to be, so I found myself watching Hitch instead of baseball, which, as it turns out, wasn't a bad decision.

...if that answers your question...

I'd say something about American self-loathing, but more than likely the 'tradition' has roots in Shakespeare.

Bob Barker got a going away present and won some Daytime Emmy award. Bet heavy on The Sopranos to take best drama.

Ellen beat my girls on the View. Rumor is Whoppi is going to replace Rosie. Someone should replace Barbara though, bitch is like 120.

At least somebody cares about the Emmys.

by **dsp** » Sat Jun 16, 2007 11:20:37

With all the Soaps I watch, it was a big night, Donald. Lay off. I'm still upset about Rosie leaving The View.

Who actually votes for the Emmy's? And how many total voters? Anyone know...?

Like the Oscars, it's a complete scam based more on marketing and networking than art or accomplishment.

Barker says he'd like to see Rosie become the new TPIR host but doesn't think CBS wants a woman hosting it...

CBS3 did not renew the contract of Steve Bucci, so they now have 2 sports people: Don Bell and Beasley Reece...

Flight of The Conchords blows monkey chunks...

I thought it was pretty funny. A mix of British humor, random humor, stupid humor, Tenancious D. It was very dry, but I kind of like that. Still, shocked that you didn't find something funny.

Entourage was solid too. Not really funny outside of Drama, but it's really entertaining.

I do now like John From Cincinnati. I'm not sold on it yet, but it appears to be pretty good. The first episode was a tad slow and boring, but I think we were all in a different mindset after the end of The Sopranos. Deadwood took 4-5 episodes to sell me, so I'm still gonna gave David Milch some time. But I like it so far.

Also so an ad for Curb, it says it's coming back in September. Nice.

I enjoyed it. I was a bit worried because I was already familiar with the musical material, but there were plenty of laughs still in the script and I liked the whole feel of the show, although the scene with the manager seemed a little too reminiscent of Extras. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

Flight of the Conchords was ok - worth another look - but wasn't overly impressed

John from Cincinnati was ten times better then last week

Entourage was great

by **pacino** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:33:40

Flight of the Conchords isn't British swish, but I also enjoyed it.

John from Cincinnati was great, I was at the edge of my seat during it. Good to see some Deadwood guys in it too

by **jemagee** » Mon Jun 18, 2007 11:40:37

John From Cinicinatti was much better than the first one - it almost made sense (except of course for Ed O'neils character, john, and the magic life giving connection between a bird and a barely verbal teenager surfer)

Looks like they will release season 2 of Drawn Together on September 25. Good news. Still sucks it won't be coming back for a fourth season and who knows if/when we'll see the remaining of season 3.

I read that the rest of season three is set to return in October - but I highly doubt there will be a fourth season.

Loved "Big Love" last night and even Nikki looked kinda hot
