'Dirty Girls'
[NAFDA] A thread for the discussion of all original programming on HBO, Showtime, Starz and other premium channels.
This is NOT a general TV discussion thread.
WB ComicCon Game of Thrones video - I loved NC-W wearing Lena Headey's hat.
(And videoing the crowd.)
re noir atmostphere: lots of noir is set in L.A. clearly you don't need actual rain to be noir.
ETA: totally meant to link this blog post about the effective use of costumes in Game of Thrones.
The specific thing in Warehouse 13 that just did me in was they go to investigate some strange stuff happening in a prison in Florida with a hurricane fast approaching. Turns out the prison is made of rock with quartz, which was left over materials from the quartz mine that the prison was built on. They even showed a picture of a mine from somewhere. A quartz mine. In Florida.
The worst show for things set in Florida was Silk Stalkings, if anyone remembers that. It was based in South Florida but shot in CA and they did nothing to disguise the fact. There were shots of rocky shorelines and cliffs all the time. The only plot line I really remember was one where high class prostitutes were being brought into the area and recruited from Tallahassee, the implication being Big Money is in Tallahassee. They even showed "Tallahassee" which looked more like South Florida than anything else they showed. Lots of sand and palm trees and huge expensive houses every where.
Silk Stalkings was fun, but terrible. I know exactly what you are talking about! "It's too hot to sleep!"
You forget how tragically bad USA original programming used to be. (Am I remembering that correctly? That it was a USA show first, then even they canceled it and it went into syndicated production?)
That sounds right to me.
It was a CBS late-night show (“Crime Time After Prime Time!”) first, then it moved to USA.
Crime Time After Prime Time had all kinds of bad shows. Like the vigilante motorcycle riding judge. He tucked his hair up in a little not bun during the day as a judge.

Oh gads, Tom, you're right! I'd totally forgotten that.
Forever Knight was originally part of that line-up too.
Like the vigilante motorcycle riding judge.
YES. oh, the bad tv, it burns, but I loved it.
