Shocking news, everyone!
TLC renames show to ‘Kate Plus 8’
Apparently the show “will have a deeper focus on Kate’s role as a single mother.” Yes, a single mother with a hefty allowance from a hit TV show and speaking tours, a camera crew of babysitters, and a bodyguard. Just like real life!! It’s nice to see that reality TV still is a window into our own lives.
But TLC, why would you show less of their loving father??
there are too many dealbreakers in this picture to count
ABC just premiered their biggest SciFi drama since LOST. A prime 8:00 Thursday slot, the show features some pretty heavy hitters- Shakespeare in Love’s Joe Fiennes stars alongside John Cho (Harold or Sulu, depending on your preference), Broadway megastar Brian O’Bryne, Dominic Monagahan (Charlie from LOST), Sonya Walger (Penny from LOST….ABC doesn’t stray too far from the genre actors they know, apparently). The premise of the show kicks in about minute 6, when everyone IN THE ENTIRE WORLD blacks out for 2 minutes and 17 seconds. Then it turns out, they didn’t blackout, but had some sort of collective vision of the same hour six months from when the blackout occurs. It’s a very interesting plot, and incredibly unique, especially for network standards. I’m certainly all for shows based on crazy apocalyptic events, but this one left me a little underwhelmed. Let’s explore, shall we?
