Watch the High School Quarterback Graduate, Get Herpes, Lose His Hair and Get Cheated On By His Third Wife, All While Wearing His Z. Cavariccis

Fox has a great new idea for a drama: get together six friends from the same graduating class, put them in a series chronicling their lives on the way to their 20th reunion, and watch the hijinx ensue.

My take: for this to work there needs to be liberal usage of era-specific comedy a la The Wedding Singer. Think of all the ridiculous fashion that could be trotted out: from parachute pants and Balloons, straight to low-cut jeans and Uggs. And the music! And the drugs!

Dammit, can I put this in my TiVo, like, today?

NBA, ABC: More Desperate for Publicity

ABC clearly learned its lesson from the Nicollette Sheridan/Monday Night Football promo debacle- there's no such thing as bad publicity. And to prove it, word has "leaked" that they're shooting a Desperate Housewives-related promo for the premiere of their NBA coverage.

Sources say the spot is "non controversial," and the actresses remain "fully clothed." Interest fading... going... going...

Quote Of The Day

Great quote, among many, from The San Francisco Chronicle's Tim Goodman in his brilliant column today (read the rest of the column here):

"Something we'd like never to hear again: Reality show contestants complaining about how they were edited. Listen, you silly pawn, take your 15 minutes and choke on it."

Here, here.

Trump Hires New Apprentice, World Yawns

On the three hour season finale of NBC's not-as-big-of-a-hit-as-it-once-was The Apprentice, The Donald hired software executive Kelly Perdew.

Was he most deserving? Will he make a good leader? Will he cash in with a book and TV deal of his own? You got me. I'm blissfully ignorant of this tedious reality phenomenon, and I found the 17 cumulative minutes I've seen of this show roughly comparable to watching flies copulate.

Thankfully, we have a few Apprentice-free weeks before Mr. Trump gets edition 3 up and running.

The Friday Eff Off: Lost

This week, Uncle Buster takes issue with my review of Lost- even though he's never actually watched it. Here's his own, less flattering, 99 word take.


Why didn’t Tarzan have a beard? I can’t answer that. Nor can I accept the myriad of flaws in the premise of Lost.

Reality shows are a waste in the first place, so a blatant reality show rip-off is an offense to the senses. “Hottie” Airlines crashes somewhere in BFE. The good thing about this airline: even if you are 8.9 months pregnant, you can still fly across some large body of water.

But, they’re so damn good looking, who cares? I’m just glad the body shavers and hair care products survived the crash.

My opinion: Lost should be.

"Lost" airs Wednesday nights at 8 et/pt on ABC.
