On Mon, Jun 7, 2010 at 8:49 PM, Keith Johnson keithbjohn...@comcast.netwrote: Anyone else watch this show's premiere a few weeks ago? It's from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. I found the first show to be hilarious. It's a campy, non-stop action fest that has the humour and even look of something from the '70s. The silly hyperkinetic energy and jokes puts me in mind of things like Cannonball Run, Smokey and the Bandit, or the better Police Squad stuff. The characters are quirky, especially Brad Whitford, who looks and acts like a cop from a '70s picture. The plots are convoluted and improbable, but oh so fun. The premiere had something to do with a pawn shop and a hair dryer, and before the show was done, we're caught up in gunplay--a lot of it--and car chases across Dallas. Look closely and you can definitely feel the Burn Notice energy, along with the feel of other fun cable shows like Psych. Not sure how long it'll last, but it's definitely a fun, silly time--something that unfortunately might have a better chance on USA or one of the other cable channels. *** http://www.fox.com/goodguys/about/ From Matt Nix (Burn Notice), comes THE GOOD GUYS, a new action comedy about what happens when an old-school cop and a modern-day detective expose the big picture of small crime. Once upon the 1970s, DAN STARK (Bradley Whitford) and his partner, Frank Savage, were big-shot Dallas detectives. So big, in fact, that they were lauded as American heroes after saving the Governor's son. Thirty years later, Dan Stark is a washed-up detective who spends most of his time drunk or re-hashing his glory days. A stranger to modern police work who would much rather trust his old-school police instincts, Dan has the reputation as being a bit of a wild card. Able to skate by on the heroic deeds of his yesteryear, he is still a semi-active presence on the force, and with the help of his liquor of choice, occasionally comes through to solve a petty crime. Dan's new partner, JACK BAILEY (Colin Hanks), is an ambitious, by-the-book and overall good detective, but is sometimes a bit too snarky for his own good. His habit of undermining himself has earned him a dead-end position in the department, and he is stuck solving annoying petty theft cases that nobody else wants. Worse, he's been given the thankless task of babysitting Dan, the drunk pariah who can never keep partners for long. Jack may not see it, but he has little chance of getting out of his situation; his knack for making enemies at the station has assured he is not going anywhere. His only ally is ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY LIZ TRAYNOR (Jenny Wade), a quick witted former girlfriend whom Jack hasn't quite gotten over and the one person he turns to for help with his current professional predicament. Until Jack finds his way out of this situation, he is stuck awaiting the day when he can turn everything around, get back to solving actual cases and return to being a real detective. On one fairly typical day, as Jack and Dan are pursuing a Code 58, the Dallas police code for routine investigations, which puts them hot on the case of a stolen humidifier, they inadvertently become engaged in a shootout over a stolen golf bag belonging to a notorious drug smuggler. This starts Jack and Dan on a wild chase to retrieve the bag, recover the contents inside and go after the drug smuggler - all while dodging his hired assassin! The excitement of the case reminds Dan of the way he and Frank busted punks back in the good old days, and he convinces Jack to go along for the ride. Needless to say, many departmental rules are again broken in the reckless pursuit, showing their boss, LIEUTENANT ANA RUIZ (Diana Maria Riva), that Jack and Dan will be spending many more days in the Property Crimes Division, assigned to investigate seemingly minor crimes in order to keep them out of major trouble. THE GOOD GUYS is produced by Fox Television Studios. Matt Nix and Mikkel Bondesen serve as executive producers. Tim Matheson will direct the pilot episode. -- If all the world's a stage and we are merely players, who the bloody hell wrote the script? -- Charles E Grant

[scifinoir2] The tube still fertile ground for Hollywood
http://www.montereyherald.com/living/ci_15249929?source=rssnclick_check=1 When it comes to source material, Hollywood has been looking to TV since the boob tube became a mass medium. THE BEST ·The Untouchables (1987) A stylish TV series becomes a stylish film, thanks to director Brian De Palma and stars Kevin Costner, Robert De Niro and Sean Connery. ·The Addams Family (1991) Technically, this film is based on a series of New Yorker cartoons, but most people are probably familiar with the '60s TV series, so why quibble? A smart, funny screenplay, tight direction (by Barry Sonnenfeld), great casting (Christopher Lloyd as Uncle Fester, Christina Ricci as Wednesday) and the joyous chemistry between Raul Julia and Angelica Huston (as Gomez and Morticia Addams) make this one of the very best small-to-big-screen crossovers. ·The Brady Bunch Movie (1995) Take a clean-cut, early-'70s family show. Update it by placing the square bunch in the '90s. It's a camp parody that is respectful to the source material. And in Shelley Long and Gary Cole it has two terrific Brady parents. ·South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut (1999) Everything that Trey Parker and Matt Stone couldn't get away with on basic cable they got to do in this filthy, funny and R-rated masterpiece. ·Star Trek: First Contact (1996) Captain Picard (Patrick Stewart) fights off sexy Borg queen Alice Krige while the crew attempts to get a drunken inventor to make his first faster-than-light flight. Easily one of the best entries in the long-running series. THE WORST ·Lost in Space (1998) Take a family-friendly, campy series, then turn it into a mega-budgeted, post-apocalyptic adventure story with Joey from Friends (Matt LeBlanc) as an action hero. Danger, Will Robinson, this movie stinks. ·The Avengers (1998) One of the best, and sexiest, series in TV history morphed into another example of Hollywood's if it's bigger, it must be better mentality. No Diana Rigg and Patrick Macnee (Ralph Fiennes and Uma Thurman couldn't match up with them). No droll British sense of humor. Can you say critical and box-office dud? ·The Mod Squad (1999) A lame attempt to update the hip, late-'60s cop show. A decent cast Claire Danes, Omar Epps, Giovanni Ribisi could not overcome a paint-by-numbers screenplay and poor direction. And nothing could compete with Clarence Williams III's 'fro from the original series. ·The Wild, Wild West (1999) Someone should have told the makers of this travesty that less is more. Too much gunplay, too many special effects, way too much snarky posturing made this reworking of the classic and delightfully small-scale 1960s Western an overblown bore. ·The Dukes of Hazzard (2005) Johnny Knoxville and Seann William Scott as Luke and Bo Duke. Jessica Simpson as Daisy Duke. Casting doesn't get any worse than this.

Hollywood stars Megan Fox, Eliza Dushku, Sandra Bullock and Beyonce Knowles have all been tipped to take over the role Lynda Carter made famous in the 1970s for Joss Whedon's big screen remake. But Hewitt is pleading with movie studio bosses at Warner Bros. to hire her for the part. She says, I'm fighting so hard. I think Warner Bros. is getting ready to make Wonder Woman and I really want to play Wonder Woman. I am obsessed with Wonder Woman.
