Two Showtime press tour entries: the executive session, which includes some info on the return of "Brotherhood" and the fate of "Sleeper Cell," plus Mary-Louise Parker talking about being so damn hot after 40.
I really enjoyed the 1st season of Brotherhood, Weeds, and the 2 seasons of Sleeper Cell. I just have never been able to convince myself that it's worth having Showtime instead of HBO or adding it to my existing cable package. Another thing that concerns me is that a show like Brotherhood, which did such poor ratings, won't be around after another season. It seems they have a history of ending shows early, as Sleeper Cell could've been a hit if they maybe spent some more $.
Say what you will about HBO, but they seem to really reward the viewer. The fact that the Wire will be getting a 5th season to conclude the story says a lot. I'll probaly check out Dexter, 2nd season of Weeds, and the Tudors on dvd. If I like where their going and it looks like the shows will get a proper amount of time to run their course I'll consider getting the channel. By the way Allan did you like The Tudors I can't remeber your review?
The Mary Louise Parker interview was very funny, except...was Matthew Modine kidding with the Bionic Woman line? He's the same age if not older than she is, I thought...
I assume it was a joke, but coming from a guy the same age, it just sounded weird.
Mary Louise-Parker is truly gorgeous. She has just gotten better with age.
It seems like Showtime is more appealing than HBO right now. How brilliant is Dexter? Weeds is a lot of fun, Brotherhood is ok and Sleeper Cell was also pretty good.

She really is breathtakingly hot. I don't know what to make of it...
ReplyDeleteShe's so hot, she's making me sexist.
