ABC Shelves Karen Sisco.

Aw, frell. At least it's not cancelled. Yet.

"We love this show, but it has become increasingly obvious that it's not working on Wednesday nights," ABC Entertainment president Susan Lyne says of "Karen Sisco." "Rather than give up, we're going to complete production on the [six] remaining episodes and aggressively relaunch the series this March in a new time period.

This bit of news gives me a little hope. A little. Of course they'll probably put it up against Survivor and Friends, or CSI Hoboken or something.

x-post with Jess.

Spanish is her first language and she didn't learn English until she was in school.

This makes me think of her as a better actress. And if the same was true of the guy who plays Ryan on O.C., he'd seem less like Ashton Kutcher on ludes.

Oh, and his exchange with Seth about how many times he's had sex - it made it sound like he was a male prostitute. He was just constantly clueless about what had actually happened, and what would make a date, and if there might be some interim stage between hanging out and sex. Oh, and Marisa's dress, proof that her mother hates her. It looked like a dress made of pieces of several other dresses, like how they show Frankenstein made of bits of multiple corpses.

Any self-respecting prostitute should have numbers to hand, and not only for accurate tax reporting. Professional pride, you know?

Ryan was all "Sex? Yeah, so?" -- like getting him to count how many times he'd played hoops, and on how many courts.

As for his confusion about what constitutes a date -- turns out not much, huh?

I meant the character. . . I've never seen her real parents.

sumi, me neither. I was hoping you had so I could pump ya for info!

He just seemed to have no idea how he got from being in the same room with a girl to having sex with her - like maybe his mother was secretly pimping him out figuring that there probably wouldn't enough blood in his brain to figure out what was going on.

I think he had no idea how to not go straight from being in the same room (/car) with a girl to having sex with her.

Madrigal, he must have tripped. And then, whoops! Sex!

I love listening to actors speaking foreign languages (well). Even better when you'd never guess it until they do it. Double-extra sooper points if they can act in those languages. yes, Stellan Skarsgaard is like unto the godhead for me.

I know there are a lot of neighborhoods where teens have a lot of casual sex out of boredom, but usually they sort of know what's going on, unless very drunk or stoned.
