Season Finale Reviews - (Warning: Spoilers)

By now, everyone has caught up with their favorite TV shows in their Tivo Now Playing List, and I can comment on stuff....

LOST was.... AWWWWWWEEEEESSSOOOOOMMMMMEEEEE
That's AWESOME, for the ALL CAPS deficient readers... I got a little glassy when Charlie put his hand up against the glass and floated away.... Here's an interview with him about his thoughts on leaving the show... This was the BEST episode since the pilot.. Hurley running the Others down, Sayid snapping the guys neck..! I've wanted the Others to meet their doom in horrific ways, and they did! And the FLASH-FORWARD of Jack caught me off guard....
--------------------------
I will miss The King Of Queens, consistently the funniest show on TV, but I understand everyone needed to move on.. Douglas Heffernen was quite the character... let's wrestle!
---------------------------
I will also miss THE CLASS... I forgot to mention that show when I ranted about all my other shows getting cancelled... How the hell do you cancel a show that is either 2nd or 3rd in its timeslot and is from the Producers of Friends? Frakking idiots!
---------------------------
Heroes was above average, but still a letdown...
--------------------------
Desperate Housewives was nice, and it wouldn't kill me if that uber-slut was still swinging from the rafters when next season fires up.
--------------------------
24... All I can say, is they cleaned up the slate, so Jack Bauer could end up ANYWHERE next season... Even Chloe could be gone.. That's fine... The show needs a new set of problems and characters.... Jack is just fine..
-------------------------
There are a few good shows coming on this and next week in case you go into TV withdrawal.... First and foremost is Traveler.. I saw it back in September (I have a client in the show)... The pilot was almost as rivoting as Lost.. It's on Wednesday nights on ABC... FIND IT..
ON THE LOT was pretty interesting.. Creature Comforts looks like a fun show.
Monk will start up again in about 3 weeks, as will Entourage (HBO). I'm beyond hooked on Battlestar Galactica... Now I know why it won a Peabody Award.. It's not a sci-fi show this time.... it is a drama that just happens to be in space... Netflix it to catch up.... Savor the last 5 episodes of Studio 60, on Thursday night.. We won't see writing this good again until ???

Battlestar Galactica N Underbellies



I've updated my Netflix Queue to send me nothing but Battlestar Galactica series discs,
so i can get caught up with the series.. I'm still in season 1, and they're in 3.. Can't quite put my finger on what it is that is so irresistable about the show.... hmm... if you know, tell me... I'm curious...
One thing is for sure, this.. is NOT your father's Battlestar Galactica. There is a Marathon coming up on SCI-FI Channel May 16-17-18 on Season 3, for those who aren't purists about seeing it from the start... If you do, at least rent the MINISERIES first, and then watch the show... Season 4 starts... alas, in January 08.
Caught the Series Premiere of Notes From The Underbelly last night. Cute, funny, sharp zippy dialog, very similar to Studio 60... With a touch of pathos, like the vintage thirtysomething, of the 90's.... My client, Rachael Harris, plays the semi-slutty divorce attorney, Cooper. It moves to Wednesdays next week... Lost is filling in a LOT of blanks, finally after 2 seasons of stringing us along.. I finally know what the Other's reason was for being on that damn island.. Pregnancy and cancer research. The King Of Queens is down to its final five episodes.. It never won the Emmy for best comedy, but it should have...

Rachael Harris, above.
