It looks like it could be a lot of fun, and Joe Morton is always good. I do agree that the Salli Richardson-Whitfield character is dull, and they're pushing the possible love interest there way too hard right now.<BR/><BR/>The talking intelligent house is a comedy gold mine, and they're using it as such. (In contrast to the OK but still disappointing "My Super Ex-Girlfriend", which gave the villain henchmen and did nothing funny with them.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1154363476382361952006-07-31T12:31:00.000-04:002006-07-31T12:31:00.000-04:00I haven't had a chance to watch "Who Wants to Be a...I haven't had a chance to watch "Who Wants to Be a Superhero?" but I read that some of the wannabes are working actors (a couple have several credits listed in the imdb). I was hoping this was going to be a show with a slew of real comic-book geeks.

Actually, in the second fight, there was the oddness of one judge thinking Rudy had won, while the other two judges scored the fight decidedly for Bravo, but at least the final decision was good.<BR/><BR/>There's no question that the editing has been sloppier this season in the fight sequences. The final rounds of two of the three fights have been sliced to bits, almost to the point that I had no idea of who was ahead, which is sortta the point.<BR/><BR/>Also, am I wrong that last season the episodes were spaced out so that the fights played out without commercial interuptions? I thought that was the case, but this season there's been a break after either the second or third round each time, which is really irksome.<BR/><BR/>And that's enough discussion of The Contender.<BR/><BR/>-DanDanielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08110645467194876282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-1154225207704947892006-07-29T22:06:00.000-04:002006-07-29T22:06:00.000-04:00I agree whole heartedly about the last couple of e...I agree whole heartedly about the last couple of episodes of Deadwood and the theater company in particular.
