Knights of Prosperity

I was just browsing E!Online for some SAG Award news, and I saw this article written by some girlie called Kristin. Apparently ABC is going to cancel Knights of Prosperity!! No – don’t do it ABC – give it a chance. It’s actually funny. Even Marc likes it!! Why did they preimier it up against American Idol? Nothing can survive against that juggernaut. Put it on a different night!!!! Please. I’m begging you.

American Idol and Everything Else!

1. Mini Idol last night due to the State of the Union address. I discovered that 1 hour is plenty of audition Idol. Watch out for Sundance Head. Great singer, horrible beard and stupid name. Simon loved him.

2.Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are going to kiss on TV in Dirt on March 27. They are playing rival tabloid editors.

3. I can’t stand Isaiah Washington anymore since he is such a homophobe. His character just wasn’t the same for me last week in Grey’s. He entered rehab today for homophobia. Who knew there was such a thing.

4. Knights of Prosperity was good last week, but I really got the impression that we missed an episode because of Bush’s speech the week before, and ABC dropped the ball and didn’t realise. Some of it didn’t make sense.

5. Grey’s was a total tear jerker last week. George’s father died and there was some fabulous acting.

New Shows – Yay!!

This week “Dirt” with Courteney Cox premiered on FX. It’s about a gossip/tabloid magazine and Courteney Cox is the editor. Entertainment Weekly didn’t like it at all, they said it was all over the place, but I really enjoyed it. I thought Courteney Cox was really good as Lucy Spiller, and Ian Hart played the photographer, Don Konkey, and he was fantastic. The story line was much deeper than I expected it to be, about the consequences of tabloid gossip. It did leave you with the impression that what you read in the tabloids is essentially true. Oprah would love to disagree with that, because she takes great delight in pointing out fabricated tabloid stories about her and telling the audience the “truth”. I’m sure it’s more like truthiness. So give it a try, I think it will be worth it. However, it is defnitely R rated, clearly the FCC has no jurisdiction over the FX channel.

The other new show I watched was The Knights of Prosperity on ABC. It’s a sitcome about a group of guys trying to rob Mick Jaggers apartment. It had it’s moments of funniness and was very watchable. The best part of Mick Jagger totally taking the piss out of himself. It was worth it just to see that.
