Diss....

I've seen this commercial a couple of times. It's got Patricia Arquette and yo man...Jake Weber. Have you seen the commercial?

I know, I get to see him every week now!!! :laugh: :lol:

I was watching The Biggest Loser (and feeling like such an asshole while doing so because I feel so bad for those people) last Tuesday and all of sudden, the commercial came on. The first thing I noticed was that he was practically bare assed and lying in bed (*swoon*). It does look fantastic, though, especially since it's from the guy that did Moonlighting (one of my faves) and Now and Again. Plus, I love Arquette and think she is beautiful. It should be very interesting. :nod: Thanks for thinking of me, though. :woohoo:

I read that it's actually based on a woman in Arizona, too.

Dude...
 

I loved Now and Again. :nod: Is it out on DVD? If not, it needs to be released ASAP (same as American Gothic, dammit). The whole cast was just magical on that show and I'm glad they didn't cancel after a few eps, we got a whole season out of it. :thumbsup:

I saw a few eps of Without A Trace and liked it, but I just never stuck with it for some reason. I saw the one with Kirstie Alley and thought it was great.

So, now that that Jake Weber/Patricia Arquette show is coming on, I'll have to chalk up another TV show to watch now. :laugh:

Nope..
 

It's not on DVD, and here is the ranking on TVshowsonDVD.com. If you haven't already, go vote for them both!

Unreleased Rank: 79th
Overall Rank: 147th
Season Set: 1106 (100%)
Best of: 167 (15%)
Individual Episodes: 194 (17%)
Total Number of Voters: 1111

Here is American Gothic's rankings.

Unreleased Rank: 24th
Overall Rank: 51st
Season Set: 1789 (100%)
Best of: 219 (12%)
Individual Episodes: 277 (15%)
Total Number of Voters: 1795

Who in their right mind would want episodes released individually or in best-of sets?! :laugh: I want the full season!!!!!!

I bought American Gothic off of eBay and have been watching it the past couple of weeks. It is such a trip to watch the episodes in order, too. :laugh: Paige Turco's hair goes from being brown and straight to red and curly from one episode to the next. Jake Weber's hair goes from brown to blonde and he looks thinner or bulkier depending on the episode. Sarah Paulson is a different age with each progressing ep. Gary Cole always looks the same, though. :laugh: AND- best of all, the DVDs have four episodes that never aired. I didn't like it as much after Dr. Matt got locked up in Juniper House (because my favorite part of the show was the relationship between him and Caleb, and because the eye candy was gone), but it still is one of the best shows ever made. :nod:

Supposedly, they're making a movie with Lucas, Dr. Matt, Selena, and a few others coming back and then starting it up again on the SciFi channel. If that ever happens, I. Will. Die.

Bump for Christy because it's on tonight (*swoon*). :wavey:

wait, the one with patricia arquette and Jake weber? what channel? when?
I have to see this guy... :rolleyes:

NBC after that ****ty show Las Vegas. It should be good, it got great reviews.

oh, so is that like, 10 oclock? my nbc comes in fuzzy, so i don't watch it too much...

Yup. I just got DirecTV, so I shall bask in the crystal-clear picture. :p

So how was this show? I'm pissed because I'd meant to watch it, but forgot. I'll check Tivo when I get home and see if they're re-airing the first episode.

Oh crap, I missed it too and was looking forward to it. I love psychic stuff and Patricia Arquette. I think she looks so cool in the ads for the show.

However, instead my roommate and I watched the Best of Will Farrel and it is freaking hysterical. If you get it, make sure to watch the Conan appearance on volume 2 where you can see he is dressed as a leprechaun, holy crap I have never seen a late nite show so hijacked and so hysterical!

:lol: :laugh: :laugh: :lol:

I watched it..
 

I missed that, too and am wondering who he was. I saw him in the opening minutes, but wasn't really paying attention. Diss, help us out! :)

I asssume you're talking about the new show "Medium." *wonders who will say "what other TV show starring Patricia Arquette was on last night, stupid?"

OK, I am in LOVE with this show, I thought it was really well written, the acting is superb & they should have plenty of story lines to keep it going. It's on again (a different episode) this Thursday at 10pm on NBC. After that, I think it will be on Monday nights @10 every week. This is not really in order, hope it makes some sense.

Basically, Allison (patricia) is psychic, she's had visions for years, but basically ignored them. She wants to be a lawyer, but has second thoughts when she realizes that she can talk to the dead & "see" the crimes, helping to solve them. So hubby (is this Jake Weber? HOT!) has been writing down her dreams & crystal visions :sorry: & they decide to fax them to some cops & see if anything comes of it. Of course, one of her dreams matched an unsolved case perfectly & she helps solve the crime & save the day. :angel:

The show started with her dreaming about interogating a guy about his wife's death & he says "your skin is so white, the blood would look beautiful dripping down it after I sliced you open from your chin to your crotch" and she wakes up. So the guy at the end of the show (for real, not a dream) is that same guy from her dream.

She decides not to go to law school, and the law firm hires her (on the down low, heehee) to help out with cases for her psychic abilities. BTW, this is based on a real woman who lives in AZ (or is it CA?)

Thank you Paula for the great synopsis! I am putting this in my calendar so I don't miss it Thursday. Nerd alert!

Um ew.
 

Told ya! You don't have to sell me twice. :laugh:

Glad you liked it, though. :thumbsup: It felt more like a movie than a TV show and that's always a good thing. It was nice to see Arliss Howard as the sheriff, I like him a lot.

Grrr....I totally forgot about that show premiering...I was all caught up in the CBS Monday night sitcom line-up...thanks for the syopsis though Paula - I won't feel too behind when I tune in now :D

Yes, it DID seem like a movie, now that you mention it.

I really liked the part where she's talking to the 17 year old pedophile murderer (that's the case she helped solve, for those of you who didn't see it) & tells him "I talked to your sister." Who is dead, of course. So he thinks she's bull****ting, and she says "well, I'm trying to read you, but I get nothing. You're so pretty, you could be in a milk commercial. But all I hear from your soul is the screams of tortured animals and suffering children" WOW. :shocked: EVIL!

Then she tells him that there are ghosts with him in the room - the ghost of the man who molested him when he was 8; and the ghost of the man who molested that guy in 1967, and the ghost of the man who molested that guy in 1955, etc. Very creepy, the kid was freaked. But so true about the cycle of abuse. :distress:

Anyway, as you can tell, I really like the show. Might rival my fondness for Desparate Housewives. Well, maybe they can coexist together. I CAN have 2 favorite shows, right? :nod: Until now, nothing's ever really replaced my love for China Beach, Thirtysomething & early ER.

God, I love TV...

I'll drink to that! Hehe. You can have 2 shows, yep. I can't freaking believe I missed this!!! Grrragghheeewwwwoooobblblblblaaaaaaa. :eek:

There's another NEW episode on Thursday night! :woohoo:

well, it's on again on Thurs? did someone say that? I "missed" it, too. Now that i have the synopsis i really want to watch it. :)

oops. A new episode? I wanna see that one! waaah! :)

Of the shows that are on right now, there are really only a few that I watch, yet it's the most shows I've ever watched. Alias (my favorite), Law and Order: SVU (the only good L&A show), Desperate Housewives (hysterical), and now Medium (Patricia Arquette AND Jake Weber? Be still my heart). Everything else sucks.

It's a very disturbing show, I didn't imagine it would be as disturbing as it was. And I'm glad that it isn't just about her and her visions, it's about her home life, too. That's a nice touch.

I actually think there's a LOT of great TV recently. ALIAS (!), Lost, Gilmore Girls, CSI, Law & Order: SVU, Desperate Housewives, Boston Legal, Scrubs, Arrested Development, 24- all shows I love.

What can I say? I've become a TV whore. Thanks, Tivo. Medium's going to go on my list to watch- thanks for the detail, Paula- it'll make it easier to pick it up on Thursday.

Oooh, I love Scrubs and Arrested Development, too. :thumbsup:

I watch Boston Legal every once in awhile, but since I was a big fan of The Practice, I find it a bit too cartoonish and over-the-top more often than not. Still love Spader, though, and Rhona Mitra is sexy as all hell.

Thank you. Love that show. I wish that Rebecca Demornay was on the show regular, not just the pilot... :distress: She was awesome! Also, I just want to say again that i really like Cold Case.... :)

I had to see this Jake Weber guy for myself, so I just Googled his name. I don't know what you guys see in him :shrug: :sorry:

OMG! When Eleanor (Manheim) punched her and she went flying across the room?! I lost all bladder control. One of the funniest scenes in television history, IMO. Gina Gershon was in the last few episodes of The Practice, too, I wonder why she's not on it. :shrug: Love her!

Well, I think it is just Diss. :shrug:

I did that, too, and apparently his pictures only don't do him justice, you have to see him in real life. I haven't yet, so i'm not sure, but that's what i suspect since he struck me as a bit ug in the pictures. :shrug:

Different strokes for different folks, I guess. He certainly does it for me, though. :nod:

that was good, i forgot about that. It was the best with Becky and Gina. Man, the girls on it now are good, but if those other two were on it would be awesome! I especially liked Becky's super bitch moves and scheming. of course! :lol:

Actually, he does look kinda sexy there. I like the wrinkles and messed up hair.

I'd do him. :]

Ugh!!
 

Gina is smoking hot, there is something smoldering about her! Phew.

:lol:

I like him and he's married to another one of my faves, Debra Winger. :thumbsup: He wrote and directed a fabulous movie a couple years ago called Big Bad Love. I never paid much attention to him, but after I saw that, I was astonished.
