I just watched Tuesday's episode on Hulu. I have to wait another few hours to see today's episode.
But I did hear Kendall say that SMG could play her in the movie. The show has gone crazy. Playing a scene and then cut to the character talking to the audience.
And
Babe
standing there in the doorway! I'll admit I don't watch this show enough to know the character but I had read enough for this finale week to know how important it was.
And over on the soap that I do watch, DOOL--Ivan walked in today! I think it's just for today and tomorrow, but ...IVAN! Oh you sexy foreign beast.
This is really the week to be watching those two shows. It will be interesting to see if the reset for DOOL starting Monday is any better.
Allyson, I remember that Chris Hardwick (@nerdist) was a huge Terriers fan and had Donal Logue on the Nerdist podcast. I may have to tweet him about TerriersonDVD. Maybe many of us could.
Oh, that would be lovely! Gah. I miss this show. It so should be on my teevee, still. Bad break.
This may be of interest to some people here. AMC timeline

Not everything Landgraf touches becomes a hit. Two recent efforts — dramas "Terriers," about two offbeat private investigators, and "Lights Out," about a heavyweight fighter, were each canceled after just one season. "The conclusion I came to was both those shows were not conceptually original enough," Landgraf said.
I'm trying to parse this in a way that does not make my head explode.
In the land of umpteen CSIs, when has not conceptually original enough been a real issue?
I think the problem is that they were too original, myself...
Maybe he meant that they weren't high-concept enough. Like, you couldn't explain what the show was about in one sentence.
I think the problem is that they were too original, myself...
Yup. Original means the marketing staff has to work at it to get the concept across to the public.
Lights Out could totally be summed up in one sentence. I'm not saying I'm going to make the best one, but it was about a prizefighter returning from retirement. That's, I think, both a decent summary and a differentiator from the rest of the market.
Terriers, that's harder to do. What do you say about two low-rent PIs that sums up the show usefully and makes people think specifically of that show?
