My continuing prophecies for the new crop of shows…
Only ABC is offering anything new — BIG SHOTS, a SEX IN THE CITY for men. Frankly, the 4 leads — Dylan McDermott, Joshua Malina, Christopher Titus, and Michael Vartan — seem to the single most chemistry and personality free quartet ever, but the addition of Rob Thomas (CUPID, VERONICA MARS) to the writing staff has me a bit curious. Sadly, I think I am in the minority. Look for this one to be pulled “to return at a later time” ala 6 DEGREES last year.
I can only stand breeder banter so long before I begin to up-chuck. Big Shots needs a Gay couple in the worst way. A promo for this show says, “we are the new women.” No WE are the new women, for real and for true.

I listen to some of this “breeder banter” in the gym locker room at work occasionally…20- and early 30-something guys bragging and boasting about their conquests (of legally blind women, I can only assume). They sound like parodies of themselves and I want to laugh. Hard. I’d forgotten what the high-school locker room was like–a bunch of guys standing around,insecure in their nakedness, trying to bluff it out. I was waiting for one of them to pull a can of chew out of their pocket…
That “Big Shots” show did look sort of intriguing in the commercials, but I’m sure once the eye-candy factor wears off, we’ll just be stuck with bad acting and shitty writing. I’m with you on this one…

YES, YES, I KNOW–they wouldn’t HAVE pockets if they were naked! I caught it already! Shaddap!
