Dirtier, Sexier And ... Well, Monier Isn't an Actual Word
Note to you, the reader of this: I know that everyone else on the web has used a version of this same headline for this show, but I didn't know about the others until I did a web search. And I'm not changing, let the others come up with something, uh ... cleverer (also not a word).
You know, I don't watch a lot of ABC shows. A lot of them are just too ... much for me. Like all those docs at Seattle Grace just shtupping their brains out until an icycle plunges into someone's midsection. I do think that Eric Dane deserves some attention, but the kind of attention I'm thinking of can be focused on him with still images.
Or those Housewives. Don't they just have a bit too much time on their hands, and I mean before the five year leap. Plus, it's a shame that Marcia Cross hasn't tried to off all of them by now, I really thought by now she would have developed her psychopathic need to kill.
(There's a chance here I can't separate the actress from her Melrose role. Okay, more than a chance. And, I have to include the clip, you know which one, and it's directly below)
I could be motivated to watch Private Practice, mostly because of my great affection for Kate Walsh, but I would just be frustrated watching her and thinking about how she isn't the lead in a great sitcom. Plus, I hear it's gonna get heavy this season. Also, I don't really know if this is the right role for Audra McDonald. I'm glad the theatre star is getting TV work, but this might not be a good fit for her.
Brothers & Sisters? I have one of each, thank you. Plus, I'm already watching [adult swim] by ten on a Sunday. And as an Italian-American, I've had enough of family drama.
That leaves Dirty Sexy Money, which I watched online last year and I can now watch in splendid 40 inches of liquid crystal display thanks to my DVR.
While you were outside enjoying a lovely Fall weekend ABC was running the ten episodes they made before the strike last year in a marathon on their SoapNet cabler. Why didn't I tell you? Because they didn't tell me.
Well, if you have nothing to do between now at Wednesday, when the new season eps begin, you can still do some catch-up on ABC.com.
And, you can check out my posts on the show from last season at this link.
One more thing, contrary to some rumors from last season, Carmelita (above right) remains an important part of the story of the Darling family. (Darling Tower site at this link, btw.)
"Carmelita is the most honest character on the show, and she's not afraid to defend that," Gross said. "She is who she is, and she's brave enough and bold enough and strong enough and willing to lose it all in defending that. That's what builds character in a person."
Very good news. Candis Cayne is a breakthough and frankly so is the role. Everyone should be lauded for their nerve and their verve.
After the jump, a preview of the season opener.
