Random Pop Culture:
My Name is Earl was one of my favorite sitcoms of the last number of years and while I was hesitant about creator Greg Garcia's Raising Hope (I said the other day that I would rather watch an ant crawl back and forth on a piece of grass than watch it), I finally gave in last night after reading a number of decent reviews. I lasted ten minutes before giving up.
Finally caught Boardwalk Empire. It is visually gorgeous, but the pilot was about as slow as people said. I've heard it gets quicker and I still enjoyed it quite a bit. Good acting, decent amount of gang violence, and Michael Kenneth Williams was only in it for half a second. It's like they showed him just to tease everyone into watching more.
Fox's Lone Star was said to be the best network pilot of the year (so far, FX's Terriers is my favorite new show of the young season) and I DVR-ed it and planned to watch it yesterday. Until I heard that it pulled a 1.3 rating that actually dropped at the half hour mark? I don't care how good it is; I don't feel like putting any time into something that is going to be cancelled before you can say "Flash Forward."
I saw Boardwalk Empire and thought it was really good. Didn't mean to stay through the whole thing when I was dropping the dog at my brother's house but I couldn't stop watching. This is at least partially my chick-weakness for period pieces, but still, it was good!
