The Useless Critic 2.0

Ok, I am watching LOST right now, and I just caught the preview for the ABC new show, "Happytown." First thought, I am so tired that it looks good. But second thought, this looks like a show that will involve a lot of interesting ideas, but I don't think it will be a successful show. It just looks like something that won't sell with the mass audiences. However, I am the worst prophet in the history of television prophetizing. This is a show that will tell the story of a criminal called "The Magic Man." Sounds scary. But he's called that because he makes people disappear. I just don't see this catching on. QATFYG: How much do you trust ABC with their dramas?

We've got: The British puppet!!! Rudy Ray Moore: AKA Dolemite! or Gangsta Rap Version: (The guy who made this can't actually read. I think.) QATFYG: Which is the most spectacular? no joke! this is really f@#king important!

So if you have been near an ABC station over the past few days, you must have noticed the hundreds of previews for the show, "The Deep End," about some top grad lawyers, who are just starting out in the world. One of the principle roles is played by Matt Long, the star of other projects such as "Jack and Bobby," and the 2009 film "Homecoming." He kind of annoyed me on "J and B," but he didn't exactly do a bad job. It was just annoying. I cannot wait to see "Homecoming," where he plays the lover of both Mischa Barton and Jessica Stroup. I adore Jessica Stroup because of her screen presence and nonchalence. Mischa Barton is not so adorable anymore, but all the OC memories would flood back. So "The Deep End" looks decent, and it is definitely worth checking out. I just hope that it can compete with the other giants of the Thursday 8Pm spot. "The Deep End" airs this week, Thurs 8/7 Central on ABC. Good Luck Matt Long...

Tonight, I was heartbroken to catch the last of Charlie Gibson's news broadcasts! :( First Diane Sawyer NOW THIS I CAN'T HANDLE IT ALL AT ONCE oh man, I can't believe he's so old. to me Charlie Gibson will always be ageless. sigh. at least Diane Sawyer's taking over. by the way, I caught George Stepfhahanaoekeoeues on the other morning- um, it's going to take some adjustment.

Attention contains spoiler info: So moments ago the season finale of “Desperate Housewives” just ended on ABC. I actually have not followed this show for very long, beginning my tenure as a DH fan last spring. Over the summer I got their back-to-back daily episodes on Lifetime, and now I’m hooked in tightly. Hi, Kyle MacLachlan!! This season has started with some new mysteries and wrapped up some old ones. Eva Longoria Parker has a bratty teenage girl. Felicity Huffman is pregnant AGAIN with twins. Marcia Cross is performing infidelity rituals with her divorce lawyer. And of course Teri Hatcher is getting married. If you’re reading this and think it sounds rather plain…well it is. Overall I thought the majority of the show was not very interesting, and I actually spent some time reading a history book instead of paying attention. UNTIL the final minute of the show* This is where DH capitalizes on its greatness. Teri Hatcher’s daughter Andrea Bowen, (Character: Julie Mayer) gets choked ...
