It seems racy (as much as a trailer can seem racy, well, that and the whole premise of the show), but what gets me excited (there really should be a pun here) is how unlike anything else it is.<BR/><BR/>CBS is counting on Safe Harbor (post-10pm leniency) to keep the show on the air in its current form, but I remember hearing in the past few weeks that there's a chance it might move over to Showtime (also owned by CBS), which you'd assume would be a great move as it seems perfectly suited for premium cable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-3517966253755711282007-05-29T20:30:00.000-04:002007-05-29T20:30:00.000-04:00oh, one more thing - someone somewhere, possibly a...oh, one more thing - someone somewhere, possibly a promo on NBC suggested that we start watching Friday Night Lights now. And if they were starting from the pilot, I would have. Just cause you praise it so highly (I hear they are moving it to the logical: Friday nights?) but I don't jump into the middle of things... and they aren't starting at the top, are they?

Aside from the fact that he rarely has shows I want to see anyway - one year he managed to cancel two shows on me *in the same timeslot* (the man has two networks, and let me also say that the upside to Veronica's cancellation is that I never have to watch the network formerly known as UPN again - for the first time since Enterprise premiered)<BR/><BR/>So, as of now, the only show I'm watching on CBS is HIMYM and I started that because of Alyson (and still I'm 6 eps down, as well as 5 with Veronica, and I think 2 with Boston Legal. I'm gaining ground.)<BR/><BR/>So, no CBS for me -- got anything else? :)<BR/><BR/>--PamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-20759617929957756862007-05-29T19:08:00.000-04:002007-05-29T19:08:00.000-04:00Off-topic, but I'm dying to hear your take on the ...Off-topic, but I'm dying to hear your take on the shakeup at NBC. I always thought Kevin Reilly was good for good shows, and he came through for The Office and Friday Night Lights, both of which could have disappeared without much real-world (i.e., non-critical, non-fanboy) consequence. Since Silverman has an Office pedigree, I'm predisposed to be okay with him, but I know next to nothing other than that and absolutely nothing about the other guy. Would FNL have been renewed with either of these guys at the switch? A year down the road, are we likely to like their slate?Isaac Spacemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16382854372379055371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-27503479830288135022007-05-29T18:14:00.000-04:002007-05-29T18:14:00.000-04:00I guess Lost producers can get Carbonell for a cou...I guess Lost producers can get Carbonell for a couple of episodes even if Cane succeeds. But they would still need to find a way to get rid of Richard, so any immortal plan is likely to being dropped.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-23855397666450623812007-05-29T14:06:00.000-04:002007-05-29T14:06:00.000-04:00ooda, I saw Swingtown this weekend and really enjo...ooda, I saw Swingtown this weekend and really enjoyed it. I'm not sure how in the heck it's going to fit in on CBS, however. With a few bad words and more explicit sex scenes, it would feel a lot like an HBO show.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17517257.post-23264682383420924682007-05-29T13:35:00.000-04:002007-05-29T13:35:00.000-04:00No, because "Bosom Buddies" minus cross-dressing w...No, because "Bosom Buddies" minus cross-dressing was "Bosom Buddies" season two, and was pretty funny.

Well, that and Molly Parker is looking outrageously good with the red hair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
