"For the experiment to be a success, all of the body parts must be enlarged."
"In other vords: his veins, his feet, his hands, his organs vould all have to be increased in size."
"Exactly."
"He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker!"
"That goes without saying..."

Halt and Catch Fire is getting a second season. That's almost even sadder for AMC that they're that bankrupt on ideas.
 
Re: TV 10: Blacklisted Sons: The Musical

Are you saying that I put an abnormal brain into a seven and a half foot long, fifty-four inch wide GORILLA? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME?


Well, why isn't it Froaderick Fronkensteen?


What hump?


Wait master, it might be dangerous. You go first.

Wow. It is a decent show but the ratings were absolutely abysmal. I guess we should applaud AMC for sticking with a good show that did not find an audience, but I never expected it. This would never happen on a network.

My guess is AMC tells them to wrap it up with this second season. Or they do something similar to the killing and do one more on AMC and then a half season wrap up on Netflix.

Watching Dallas - shut it all of you. It's a show I've watched forever. Anyway...Jordana Brewster is in it. She of "Former Derek Jeter Flame" fame. Girlfriend needs to eat a sandwich or 12, but what really bothers me is her hairline seems like it's halfway back on her head. It's distracting!!

I basically quit watching after Larry died and they wrapped up the character of J.R. and his "masterpiece". I prefer to think that the bitter, nasty old version of Cliff spends the rest of his life in Mexican prison, stripped of an ill-gotten empire, and deservedly framed for a "murder" he didn't commit since he nearly had his own pregnant daughter killed (even J.R. would never go that sociopathically far in a revenge plot).

The two best of the new actors (or at least, the two who clearly understand the genre and their characters the best) were Josh Henderson and Julie Gonzalo, but the writers' attempts to make them a more sinister retread of the Bobby/Pam relationship is still not enough to hold my interest. Anorexic Brewster, the awful and talentless Jesse Metcalfe, and the obvious attempt to re-create Lucy with Emma Bell are all forgettable snoozefests. Duffy's been phoning it in for a paycheck since Day 1 (hell, arguably since May 1986 when he stepped out of the shower). At least veterans Linda Gray, Judith Light, Mitch Pileggi, and (occasionally) Brenda Strong know that just the right amount of tasteful overacting is the key to a guilty pleasure like Dallas being watchable. Linda tries her damnedest, but without Hagman's J.R. to drive her mad she does not have enough chemistry with anyone else in the remaining cast to keep an infuriatingly predictable Sue Ellen relapse into alcoholism interesting (really Cidre, that's the best you can give her character after supposedly 20+ years of sobriety?).

To me, it was always the J.R. Ewing Hour, and without one of TV's most beloved anti-villains/Type V anti-heros, the show is pointless, daytime-quality drivel - imagine Mad Men without Don or House of Cards without Frank Underwood. Classic quotables like, "Once you give up integrity, the rest is a piece of cake", or "Well, Ray was always uncomfortable eating with the family, I mean after all we do use knives and forks", will never be replicated on the revival show. And thus, I washed my hands of it last year.

Mine too.

Yesterday on NPR they were replaying snippets from interviews from The Simpsons producers, writers, and actors. All were very interesting. Anyway the one story that struck me as the funniest was by Matt Groening talking about spoofing Fox News. Long story short the result of that episode was that The Simpsons couldn't have any more episodes with a news ticker going along the bottom of the screen. I guess too many people thought it was real! I'm not sure if that is an indictment on Fox News viewers or The Simpsons viewers.

I know I am way behind with the whole True Detective thing, but I just have to say that it is awesome.
