Hello,
The first two cancelled shows of the season are "Made In Jersey" and "Animal Practice". Although "Animal Practice" will air a few more episodes. Somehow "The Mob Doctor" survives and it looks like it will survive at least through November. How bare are Fox's shelves that a show that bad can live on?No wonder they are milking the decrepit "American Idol". How are "Guys With Kids", "Neighbors" (this week's show was so stupid), "Ben and Kate" still alive. There will be 13 episodes of "Ben and Kate". That sounds more like a threat than something to live for.
The second, and most recent episode, of "Nashville" was only slightly above average. This episode is titled "I Can't Help (If I'm Still In Love With You)". Nashville" grinds to a screeching halt whenever the political angle comes up. That storyline is so terribly boring. Also is Teddy Conrad (Eric Close) suppose to be so wimpy? I understand that he's only an unwitting pawn of his father-in-law (Powers Boothe), but still. We're suppose to believe he has the stones to be the mayor of Nashville. Other than the mayor of Mayberry or simpleton, I just don't see him being a mayor of anything.
Can Reyna dump Teddy? Please? Dump him and just go to Deacon like both he and her want. That way "Nashville" can excise that terribly boring political storyline. Although Lamar probably wouldn't be too happy about his pawn getting dumped by his daughter. Would he try to prevent that? But back to the music, which should be the main reason this show exists. Reyna and Deacon could tour without any entanglements. The song they sang together at the Bluebird was awful, they would have to get much better material. However that shouldn't be hard.
Deacon would stick with Reyna, which would irritate Juliette. That would be a double win for Reyna. If Reyna and Deacon's tour is successful, they might be able to sell more of her CD. That would spite her record company. "Nashville" make that tour happen. On the tour Deacon and Reyna could get back together. If they are on tour, again that would be a great reason to focus less on the boring political shenanigans of Reyna's daddy.
Also Scarlett (Clare Bowen) has got to dump Avery (Jonathan Jackson), he's unbelievably lame. The show also stops every time he appears on the show. I want Gunnar and Scarlett to record that 3 song demo. They definitely need to include "If I Didn't Know Better" on the demo.
The music this week wasn't great, it was sort of disappointing. The best song this week was "Undermine":
"Telescope" is a very average song. Yes, we get that Juliette is suppose to be the country music Britney Spears. I like that she wants to be her own person and not a toy of the record company. There are too many toys of record companies recording now, which is why music is so bad now. People want to be famous more than they want to create an amazing musical legacy. (The fact that Britney Spears and Demi Lovato are judges on "X Factor" is ridiculous. Justin Bieber giving advice, like he's not a pawn of his record company. Come on!)
One final aside: Who's writing the next "The Wall", "Appetite For Destruction" or "Jagged Little Pill"? 10 years from now "The Wall" will still be remembered as one of the greatest CDs ever and Justin Beiber will be an embarrassing reminder of many girls pre-adolescence.
Other random TV thoughts. Due to my busy schedule this week I haven't got around to the latest "Vegas", "Elementary" or "Last Resort". I plan on watching "Last Resort" when I get home tonight.
This week's "Castle", "Murder He Wrote" was another great episode. I like that not everyone is in the know about Castle and Beckett's relationship. I also loved Castle's meta reference to his and Beckett's relationship when he referred to them as Caskett. Many people have called those two that name for a long time.
