OK so given the whitefont, I may cut Prison Break a little slack but still!!! The Inside was all creepy and compelling and good, and this? OY! I have to say that the small clip I saw of Bones looked... sad? lame? boring? I've read some of the books and enjoyed them but no, I probably won't be watching even though DB's in it. Didn't see enough of Nick in the Kitchen Confidential clip but it looked like standard sitcom fare.

How clever is that plotting?
You have to love a pilot that builds nudity into the premise of the show.
ETA: You're not wrong about Bones. I thought it was kinda boring. And irritating. And I don't like the female lead.

BC is working the charisma. Bad boy lite.
Excellent. Now I have something to look forward to.
I need to get out of the house and see Wedding Crashers. I need some mindless fluff.

She seemed so flat in just the little bit I saw and not on purpose. DB seemed to be goofy DB in a suit.

Maybe I don't recall correctly. Whatever. He's HAWT.
Which one--Purcell or Miller?

Bwah! Yes, I swear every time I see a commercial, I expect him to be wearing the stupid hat too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Miller, Cindy. Purcell's gross to me.
eta: Since we're in the soap thread, I thought I'd mention:Barbara Bel Geddes dies at 82.

We are as one then, ita. You know he's in the Buffy episode, Go Fish, right? Scott and I just recognized him, when we were watching the DVD last week. He was on Joan of Arcadia right at the end of last season. I don't know what would have happened with the character (who seemed set to expand into a fairly major role) if the show had been picked up for a third season, since he apparently has this new series. I liked what I saw of him on JoA, and not just the pretty, either. He did well in the role.
Since we're in the soap thread, I thought I'd mention:Barbara Bel Geddes dies at 82.Oh, poor Miss Ellie.

Since we're in the Tim thread I'll mention that Vertigo star Barbara Bel Geddes died.
