Based on "Viva Blackpool" or maybe "Coprock?"
Yes! Ohmigod! Someone's blondie bear's a twenty-question genius!

I read about that awhile back, I think it's based on Viva Blackpool.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
You know, one of the local stations was doing an ad for their Judge Whoever show (real-life, more or less, trials with this judge) and had a gospel choir singing his praises, and all I could think of was, "did they learn NOTHING from Coprock?"

BWAH! One of my favorite scenes, when the judge says to the jury "what say you" and the foreman sings "weeeeeeeeeeellll. He's guilty! (he's guilty!) and how he's got to paaaaaayyy!" and the choir goes into a full on gospel rock and clap with "he's guilty! and now he's got to pay"

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
Somehow it's a little sad to me that I recognize Adam from so much, and this is the credit they come up with.
This seems to be the case with every new show of his. I get a little bit sad every time.

Of course, they could just say, "You know, that really tall guy, you know the one."

ABC's new Fall schedule. They picked up Lee Pace's show (Pushing up Daisies) and the new thing Michael Vartan is in!

They're actually doing the Geico caveman series???
You know, it could actually be a good way to reuse the kind of stuff they did with the Jeffersons.

I know -- I can't believe that they're doing a caveman series.
24: That first sequence with the chase over the rooftop and the kid hanging off of that bridge: that is the adrenalin pumping stuff we like about 24. Of course, it could just be that I, with my fear of heights, found that really heart pounding. Also, really, really funny when Lisa Miller started beating Daniel Jackson with a lamp. And, I really hope that Doyle turns out to Josh's real dad. They look so much alike.
