2009 Previews

Bob started a discussion on Three Rivers and it looked interesting enough to share with everyone. I really like O'Laughlin and am happy to see him back so quickly after Moonlight was cancelled.

[Karen]

If this would happen in the real world..scary stuff.

If properly handled--it could be very interesting--ASSUMING that the destruction of our society and culture are explored vigorously--and is not just used as an excuse to make a very 'edgy" soap opera......

Sterling Law is one of L.A.'s most prestigious law firms. Each year it recruits four new young lawyers from the finest law schools worldwide. It will nurture, guide and shape these recruits into the best damned lawyers they can possibly be or else. This year the lucky four are Dylan, a blue collar kid made-good; Addy, a sweet mid-Westerner with a lethal legal mind; Beth, a brilliant Brentwood babe; and Liam, an Australian with serious drive. Sterling Law is under the control of ruthless senior partner Cliff Huddle (Billy Zane), aka "The Prince of Darkness." But when legendary partner Hart Sterling returns to the firm after a long hiatus caring for his dying wife, he's ready to shake things up. The only way for these first years to survive being caught in the middle of this major power struggle is to support each other, even as they compete against one another in the cutthroat arena of corporate law. They discover unlikely allies in their mercurial recruiter Rowdy and litigating whirlwind Susan, who is Cliff's icy, but talented wife. Dylan also manages to make a deeper connection with an ace paralegal named Addy, but every alliance at Sterling is complicated. Addy is drawn to Dylan, but it seems she hasn't quite broken off her affair with Cliff.

I usually like legal beagles so maybe.

were you a fan of LA Law?
My favorite law firm show was ...The Practice...

[Cat]

Both of those where all time faves of mine! I'm looking forward to the release of Dark Blue on TNT on the 15th, since McDermott plays the lead and I dearly loved him in The Practice. L.A. Law was so great because I think someone poked around in all the court calendars to find the most unusual cases and put them on the air. I'll never forget the prosecution of the golfer who beat up a Swan on the golf course!

[Karen]

I loved the Practice....Ryan and I both loved the show
and was sorry when it went off...(the spin off with James
Spader didn't work for me.) Such crazy twists and turns
on the plots of the show were so smart. That recurring John Larquette character was really something.
I'll have to look out for Dark Blue as he was a favorite of mine too.

[the Captain]

Sounds like LA Law with 20-somethings.....

Single-handedly, housewives accomplish astonishing things... and together, watch out. In the seaside village of Eastwick, this might just be evidence of their inner-witch rising to the surface. Until today, Roxanne, Kat and Joanna didn't get along because of their preconceived notions of each other. Roxanne was the flaky artist, Kat was a doormat wife and mom, and Joanna the uptight local reporter. But after a weird encounter in the park coupled with a few margaritas, these three have suddenly become fast friends. Now, a mysterious stranger's arrival in town will bring them even closer and test them in ways they'd never imagined. Daryl Van Horne is an irresistible package of wealth, charisma and bad boy sex appeal. If he's not buying up a local business, he's attempting to seduce one (or all) of these ladies, physically and professionally. What's even more dangerous, he's unleashing their supernatural powers. But by igniting their heart's desires, he might just be opening Pandora's box. This small New England town will be turned upside down by these witches coming into their own. Though bad for a few locals, it's still the best thing to happen in Eastwick in centuries.

[Karen]

a play off of the Jack Nicholson movie with Cher..
think called the 3 Witches of Eastwick? It's been done already.

[Cat]

That and a few others. Charmed is the one that leaps to mind. Except for Bewitched, I guess I'm really not into Witches that much. Then again, I never thought I'd like anything to do with Vampires but loved Moonlight. Ya never know.

[Karen]

Not into any witch craft, wicken (sp)...vampires...or any occult.
Bewitched was sort of a take on that Jimmy Stewart/Kim NovaK, Bell Book and Candle movie...but it wasn't about witchcraft per se to me. More about relationships.
What I liked best about Samantha was to be able to twitch your nose and travel instantly....much better than getting your molecules
rearranged in a Star Trek transporter...lol
