It still sounds meh, but . . . Andre Braugher! OTOH, Ray Romano (ptui! let us never speak of it again!)
Buffy: A Guide, but no water or food. So it leads me to the sacred place and then a week later it leads you to my bleached bones? Giles: Buffy, really. It takes more than a week to bleach bones.

I'm for anything that brings Braugher and his lovely family work, but I don't intend to watch it.
Don't confuse the advertising/marketing spiel from USA and the actual programming/programs. I put it in the same category as Cosmopolitan self-consciously slanting itself towards 20somethings when its readers are for the most part women in their 40s and up.

It's like Old Guy Entourage...I'm in. With the caveat that I wouldn't want to see even beloved Andre do reverse cowgirl with anybody, but it looks like a pleasant experience with that in mind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Women in their 40s read Cosmo? Seriously? I can't imagine why.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Why would a woman in her 40s read Cosmo? I mean, by now, don't we already know "What He Really Wants In Bed" and "Seven Secret Moves That Will Drive Your Man Wild In Bed" and "How To Tell If Your Man Is Watching Porn Over Your Shoulder In Bed"?

It was quite a few years ago, before the current magazine crash, but I saw statistics about readership, and was surprised to find that the average Cosmo reader was 40- or 50- something wanting really to feel 20-something, and that also the editors were quite aware of this.
Around the same time, I noticed how many female-oriented commercials were showing on shows like Highlander and Star Trek series which were ostensibly male-oriented action adventures.

I'm not surprised by Highlander, since they started off with his epic romance with Tessa, which definitely wasn't for male viewers. And ST:TNG looked like they took the opportunity to acknowledge the female viewers they'd actually had all along, what with the Crusher and Yar. Troi, on the other hand, was not for us.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I like Romano. His stand-up is really good. Many episodes of his show were mediocre, but the best were hilarious.

I can't stand the big guy who was on his show--once I've hated someone's standup persona it's hard for me to watch them in sitcoms, and I really dislike his comedy stylings.
