Did season's always go by this fast?
Wed, 06/30/2010 - 13:26 — coughlin_jakeOr is this just another step in the long march toward being an adult? It seems like each TV series season ends just when it begins...
"In Plain Sight" has been fantastic this season, in my opinion! (Thank God they dumped the mother! Now maybe they're getting ready to dump Brandi too, although Brandi COULD add a bit of spice to the show if the writers would let her. [Transporting suitcases of meth for a deranged NJ psycho... Woops! a bit heavy with that spice there.])
"Top Chef" will finally bring something (ANYTHING!) watchable back to Bravo. I read some article somewhere about the genius to Bravo's marketing, and it may be genius, but sadly, I'm not in their demographic. How'd that happen? I'm just as GAY as Andy and Jeff!
Cable seasons too short
Wed, 06/30/2010 - 15:29 — brookecain (author)You're right, this season did seem awfully short, but that could be because I missed a few eps near the beginning. But I checked and they did 13 episodes this season, which is about standard for cable series (they did 12 in Season 1 and 15 in Season 2). I *hate* the mother on this show, so I hope she's gone for good. Also wouldn't care if Brandi disappeared. I just want Mary and Marshall (my favorite) and Stan and some witnesses.
Are you watching "Work of Art" on Bravo? I really like that one. I also loved "9 by Design" on Bravo, but "Flipping Out" will always be my favorite. It usually comes back in August.
