Okay, Bunheads made me a little teary at the end tonight. I still feel like I could spot this as a ASP show from a mile away, but I think I'm going to stick with it for a while. It's such a bizarre premise for a show, but they handled the emotional piece of it pretty delicately.
It is definitely easy to identify as ASP's work, but I kind of love that about it. Ellen Greene and a Dirty Dancing reference; I officially love this show before I've even finished the second episode.
Oh, Ellen Greene! I was trying to figure out who that was.
I do love that she just sort of ended up with the dog. And "Take a load off, Annie," was funny, although in the lyrics it's actually Fanny.
Walton Goggins? Better stalk carefully, Nora, at least till you find out how Method of an actor he is...seems like common sense.(needless to say, I want to know if you meet WG.)
Bunheads: Gregg Henry (Mitchum Huntzberger from GG, Hugh Panetta from The Riches, etc.) as an aging surfer bum?!
This second episode was MUCH better than the first. I'll keep the Season Pass for now.

Well, I certainly will not wear a cowboy hat.
I guess he's in the QT movie that's been filming down here forever.
I have to say that although I like the lead of Bunheads much more than I thought I'd like an ASP character, I pretty much despise everyone else other than Boo. Not making it through last night's ep, and deleting the season pass.
I'm with everybody else who's disappointed that Hubble was ended so quickly (if for no other reason than it would have been nice to get more Alan Ruck), but it's definitely keeping me so far.
And I love Boo so much (though I hate the name), and I'm so pleased that a girl who is "bigger-boned" but is a really lovely dancer is getting work!
Till the end, I thought she just called him Hubble, in an extended "Way We Were" riff.I'll watch it again...I only rarely commit to seasons.
Nora, I didn't know about that. Although I'm not the Tarentino fan I used to be. Tell Goggins the invisible people in the computer say "Hey," and "Nice work,"
I just watched Bunheads and I did like the second episode better than the first. Maybe I really want this to be a drama and not a comedy. The comedy isn't really working for me.
The only person I really cannot stand at this point is the ex-girlfriend. Ugh. Nothing redeeming about her at all. I want her to DIAF. Get off my tv. Otherwise, I'm okay with everyone else thus far.
I'm definitely in for this season. I think this is going to go the way of last year's ABCF tv show that I loved: "Huge." That show sucked me the fuck in and I was so disappointed when it wasn't renewed.
I feel the same vibe coming off this show.
Man, I had never even heard of "Huge". . .
