Of course, the one on the right is Dalek Caan.

One more thing, if Charo joined the Cult of Skaro, would she be Charo Skaro?

Also, was object oriented design (OOD) developed by these higher beings?

Tom Selleck In Talks With "Las Vegas" Producers

Las_vegas_selleck

Obviously, Tom Selleck would come in as the new owner or operator of the Montecito. Seems like a reasonably good fit. I don't know what kind of money Caan was making on the show, but I have to believe that Selleck's salary would be commensurate, which of course brings up the question of the show's budget. I was under the impression that NBC was trying to save some bucks with the exodus of Caan and Nikki Cox.

If Tom gets a couple years work out of this, it'll be a miracle. I figure by 2008 the networks will be rerunning their hits of the previous four days on Fridays, just like they do on Saturdays now. Heck, in 15 years, if there's any scripted programming on the broadcast networks (if they exist) I will be shocked.

I'll also be 60. Ouch!

NBC's "Las Vegas" Returns A Little Light

Las_vegas_caan So they're gonna bring back Las Vegas without James Caan and Nikki Cox. Actually I thought Caan would be gone at the end of last season (or rather, the beginning of this one) with that whole gunman bursting through the door thing.

I would bet that he gets a bunch of interesting supporting roles in films immediately. He'll have a year like Alec Baldwin did right after "The Cooler" if he picks a good indie to reinvent himself with.

Nikki Cox will have absolutely no problem finding work. She is the rarest or rare, a very, very hot young woman with great comic timing. She has sold the joke in some of the most poorly written things I've ever seen on TV and gotten the laugh.

I still enjoy clicking over to YouTube every now and then and checking out a clip or two from Unhappilly Ever After, which ran forever on the early WB network. Hey, here's one now:

That's not to imply that Unhappily ... was all bad, just the weird middle years with Joyce Van Patten and half of every season's output on top of that. But sometimes there were moments of brilliance, especially when they were doing some basic social satire toward the end.

It's not the best of quality, but you can hear all the dialog. I know you're staring at her tube top. Stop that.

Funny, I thought the one to jump would have been Josh Duhamel. Maybe "Turistas" wasn't such a great idea after all.
