According to ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, “ABC has opted not to order additional episodes of EASTWICK, effectively canceling the freshman dramedy. The show, which has consistently ranked last in its Wednesday-10 pm timeslot, is expected to finish out its current 13-episode run. ABC, meanwhile, has ordered five additional episodes of THE FORGOTTEN.”
THE FORGOTTEN.
Seriously? Who the fuck watches that piece of shit show?
I am so goddamn mad right now I could fucking spit nails.
And while I am on the subject of ABC, what the hell is with that clusterfuck FLASHFORWARD?
Yeah, I get it, ABC — you’re hoping for another water cooler hit like LOST but there’s only one problem: LOST has talented writers with a vision for their show. FLASHFORWARD…not so much. Jesus, what the fuck was with that boring ass “Senate Intelligence Committee hearing/lesbian one-night-stand” episode a few weeks ago? That never-ending hour was the one that effectively killed any interest I had in this over-hyped shit fest.
And don’t get me started on V.
I really wanted to like this, but then they had to go and hire Elizabeth “I never speak in anything but a breathy monotone and blink intermittently to allay any fears that I might’ve died or fallen asleep during filming” Mitchell as the lead. It took me three fucking times to watch the pilot because every time she came on, it was lights out for this faggot. Hand to God, no lie — just ask The Fella who kept poking me every few minutes the third time around. I can’t think of a less charismatic female lead (except for Anna Torv of FRINGE but that’s a whole other post…)
Huh? Whuzzat? Where am I? Just posting that pic put me in a mini-coma.
Oh well, at least I still have GOSSIP GIRL.
If you’ll excuse me now, I’ve called in sick and I’m going to go lay on the futon and watch the remaining EASTWICK episodes in the dvr.
I wasn’t liking Flash Forward until I saw that Patrick Monighan, my sweet little Gnome, was on it. His devious smile and foxy eyes make me quiver and in a very good way.
Liz Mitchell, is a bit stiff. V does have a cute guy even though Elizabeth couldn’t be his mother I demand a DNA test!

OMG You and I are on different pages. I’m enjoying FF. I’m interested in seeing where they go with such an interesting premise. And when we get to D-Day in the spring, how will they set it up for Season 2?
As for V, love the LOST chick on LOST. Did we ever really know if she was good or bad? Her facial expressions never let on. And she can handle a gun and kick ass in a fight. I think the main V was perfectly cast since the shape of her face and huge brown eyes make it believable that she is a lizard underneath!

Dirk,
I have read your blog for over 3 years now. I send lots of love and good karma to you on a daily basis. That being said, this rant sounded so much like Lola! Hugs!

Have you tried Bones? It’s Fox but it’s sorta soapy and gross with a lot of hotties to look at.
I f’ing love that show.

Anna Torv. I absolutely love her acting. I think she is extremely talented and I am addicted to Fringe.
I don’t see the “not charismatic” of Anna Torv. She’s amazing.
