 Odd that this gem was left out of Ebert’s Overlooked Film Fest. |
I should have known that that earlier report of Tori Smelling’s fall sitcom was a sign of bad things to come. Check out these her-end-dusly proposed crop of new shows headed for cancellation this fall:
– a 4th Law & Order and a 3rd CSI. PLEASE, STOP!!!
– a Macaulay Culkin shitcom about a brother and sister reunited after growing up in different foster homes. BORRRRRRRRRRRING!!
– Chris O’Donnell in somethang called The Amazing Westerbergs. What’s amazing is that the boy wonder is still employed.
– Ricki Lake stars as a single mom who runs a bar. Sometime the bar eats you and sometimes Ricki Lake will eat the bar.
– The American version of The Office. Can’t be good. I scream Blasphemhy!!
– Apparently Major Dad, Gerald McRaney, has been demoted to Commando Nanny. Maybe there’ll be a movie (ala Freddy vs. Jason) where he’ll square-off against Hulk Hogan’s Suburban Commando.
– D.O.T.S, a comedy about meter maids. 5 bucks sez one of the character’s name is Lovely Rita.
– Jeff Goldblum is a financial consultant in therapy. Golblum + anything = CHAOS (theory)
– Hub, a drama about an airport with Heather Locklear. This may turn out to be better than that new Speilbergo/Hanks shitflick (please, do yo self a favor and watch the trailer).
– Worst Irony Award: Blind Justice, about a seeing-impaired cop.
– Jason Alexander plays writer and popular ESPN commentator Tony Kornheiser in a CBS project. Probably the only new show I’ll end up TiVoing.
– A UPN drama about lesbian private investigators called Nikki and Nora. Hopefully taking hot baths together will help them gather all the clues they need.
– I saved the breast for last: a remake of Mister Ed with MIA Twin Peaks uber-hottie, Sherilyn Fenn and George Jefferson. Wow, looks like originality is at all time high.
