The following were on my mind between Thursday, January 26th and Monday, January 30th:
- Louis C.K. is co-creating a multi-camera sitcom for CBS?!?! That's...interesting, especially considering the fact that he's still working on "Louie" and even spent time on that show making fun of the blandness of multi-camera sitcoms in an episode back in season two. Hopefully, he will be putting his money where his mouth is and actually put together a CBS comedy that isn't based on broad jokes and standard tropes. After all, the guy has had a pretty good track record in the past five years. We'll see.
- I can't really consider the SAGs to be a legitimate awards show, not when they have Patrick J. Adams and the "Dexter" casts as nominee and continue to give awards to Alec Baldwin and Betty White year after year, something that even the Emmys aren't to lazy to do.
-First "Falling Skies," then "Terra Nova," and now both "Smash" and "The River." Suddenly, the words "Executive Producer Steven Spielberg" has kind of lost its luster. Another thing that's lost its luster? The words "hit series" during ads for TV shows. It seems like networks just give it away to anything (ex: ABC promoting "Work It" as "the new hit comedy" just days before they cancelled it).
- Watching yesterday's Bulls-Heat game has made me even more excited for this May's Eastern Conference final re-match. You know it's going to happen, and it's going to make last year's showdown look like an appetizer by comparison.
- Another reason why I will remember "Chuck" fondly that I didn't include in Friday's post: it's series finale, which was excellent. Funny, sweet, some great callbacks, and an ending that (while not completely satisfying) gives us fans a good assumption that everything will work out well for everyone.
- It may not have been a win, but Tiger Wood's excellent finish in this week's tournament in Dubai is a good enough sign of what should be a very decent rebound year in 2012.
More of the RTs to come this Thursday. Until then, don't y'all stop being adorable!
