NIP/TUCK is shaping up to be a really good final season. Both eps I've seen have been fairly grounded, deep, emotional...maybe they can pull this final season out. The characters have somehow become vital again as we get our last few episodes of them.
SECRETS OF ASPEN (VH1) traffics in all the stereotypes it can handle - cheap women with big bank accounts, friendships turned frenemy, overtly over the top gay male best friends, gossip, innuendo, sex...all in a neat little half hour. I really wanted to hate this show - but 3 eps in and...if not exactly hooked, I like it. God help me.
THE GOLDEN GLOBES (NBC) was a let down. Ricky Gervais, increasingly unfunny in his public appearances, was the host but somehow a no-show as he appeared onstage very little and when he did - made only the tiniest of contributions. Monique looked like she really was that mother in Precious when she took the stage. James Cameron had a long speech for his AVATAR win. I mean, I really kind of love AVATAR, but best Drama? That Scorsese thing was interminable and DeNiro was just plain weird. I don't remember much else about the broadcast.
I watched the first half of BIG FAN and I'm a big fan.
Still a fan of TOUGH LOVE, but it's already getting a bit old. I don't know if I can hack a 3rd season.
Speaking of which, I've recently given the heave-ho to BIGGEST LOSER (NBC.) I love the show, but after 7 seasons, I get it. Fat people need to lose weight or they die. It's an hour too long and it just seems like the same show every week at this point. So, with respect, it's out.
Jimmy Kimmel did a fantastic Leno impression last week on his show and then later skewered Leno on Leno's own 10@10 segment, but I'll address all that - and the late night stuff in Saturday's full blog.
Until then...
