Viva Suck-lin! (running thread)

We are supposed to know you don't watch commercials? Calm the fuck down.

 

It wasn't me in general. Why start a thread that doesn't say something? Or why post on it while ignoring a question as simple as "What show?"

Just...weird.




And if you think that's me fired up? Well, you haven't been around much.

 

So, it's the suckiest suck-ass suck that ever sucked a suck? I guess it's pretty serious.

 

I agree that the thread title was too vague. I have heard of this show, only because my mother will watch anything with Hugh Jackman in it, but it looks awful. Jackman is an executive producer and will be a recurring guest star or some shit like that. Of course, that way they can stick him in every commercial to suck some female viewers in.

I'll have to get mom's report on this one. No way I'll waste five minutes on it.

 

I am absolutely astonished that this show got greenlighted. It's like CBS suits had a meeting and someone said, "Look at American Idol and Dancing With the Stars! People like to watch singing and dancing!"

Two words -- Cop Rock -- should have put an end to any such meeting.

 

Somebody needs to realize that having Hugh Jackman involved in the project only guarantees success if he's got claws.

So unless his recurring character turns out to be Wolverine in disguise and we get to see him hack some of the singers and dancers to pieces, I don't give this one much time.

 

I'm going to check it out if only to compare it to the BBC version, Viva Blackpool, which was pretty good.

 

If it has Hugh Jackman, I wll watch. That is all.

 

FLLLLLLLLL-aming!
(I keed. I keed.)

 

Even if he really was one of Liza Minelli's gay ex-husband's, I'd still want him.

 

I may be the only one here who annually goes to Laughlin (we like Lake Mojave). I am going to tivo this Piece O' Shit show just to see any scenery we recognize.

And IJAG's right. The title of this thread stunk.

 

The first line of the NYT review:

“Viva Laughlin” on CBS may well be the worst new show of the season, but is it the worst show in the history of television?
