TV and real life

[sg_lab2]

At the end of s3's Eureka Zoe went off to college. I read that the actress who plays Zoe, Jordan Hinson, was going to be in a new show. I was watching TV and saw a commercial for the new sitcom Hank and thought I saw Jordan Hinson. I went to imdb.com and sure enough her name was in the list of cast members of Hank. I wonder if this show is going to make it. Kelsy Grammer hasn't enjoyed TV success as he had as Dr. Frasier Crane in Cheers and Frasier.

Frankly it doesn't look like a very good show or at least something that would interest me. And it's using the current real world economic issues as its basis. Frankly I wish my entertainment would stop using every real world issue. It would be nice to get away from real world problems every now and then in my entertainment.

The show isn't getting very good ratings, and it didn't get picked up for a full season with ABC's other Wed night comedies, so that's not a good sign.

It doesn't seem that Eureka cast are having that good of luck this season with their other shows. Ed Quinn was supposed to have a recurring role on the CW's A Beautiful Life - that was cancelled before he was able to appear, possibly even before his episodes were filmed. And Jamie Ray Newman's Eastwick isn't expected to last the season either.

I didn't know about Ed Quinn's role but I don't watch the CW either. :D I could only watch the first twenty minutes of Eastwick before I lost interest. I can't say I'm surprised at that about Eastwick. Jaime Ray Newman's character on Eureka is much better imo anyway.

As for Hank sitcoms for the most part just don't do it for me anymore anyway. Most of their humor is about characters insulting each other.

LOL - no, I don't watch the CW either anymore. Supernatural was the last CW show I watched, but I quit watching that a year or so ago.

No, I'd just seen an announcement that Ed Quinn had been cast to play the husband of Elle MacPherson's character. But the show was about models and modeling - not something I would watch even to see Ed Quinn again! :D

I can't remember the last time I watched a sitcom. It's been a very very long time I think. :S I like shows that have humor in them but.... yeah. :S

LOL, thinking about it I think I had heard about Ed Quinn being in a new show as well. But I probably didn't go looking for more info on it when I heard what channel it would be on.

This past summer I'd been watching reruns of The Big Bang Theory but when I started watching it this season I'd started to lose interest after the first couple of episodes so yeah one more sitcom seems to have lost me.
