Spring TV Is Here

some new series have been unveiled. here's how they rate.

'scandal' has the most promise. the pilot set up what was coming in a fast paced manner. kerry washington is a sheer delight. it worked. give it a shot. i'm going out on a limb and giving it an 'A'. now we wait and see if it can hold onto it. and that answer may come very soon on abc. it's from shondra rhymes of  'grey's anatomy' fame and it is time for that one to go. it's worn out it's welcome.

'gcb', those good christian bitches, started off slow and let's be honest deadly dull. i am not sure why i kept going back. but since i did i have to say it improved. what would have been a D+ now gets a C+. it's up to them. leslie bibb as amanda is a charmer and coupled with eric winter (luke) may be able to keep it afloat. a standout for me is marisol nichols as heather cruz who befriends amanda while the other bitches just try to up each other in nastiness. that all need to calm down a bit.

'The Client List' started out strong. ms hewitt is as always likeable. loretta devine steals every scene she is in. it's not as slimy as i thought it would be. but who knows. right now it gets a B. time will tell.

'The Client List' Tonight on Lifetime

i mean really...how trashy does this seem to be. now i am not adverse to good trash. 'valley of the dolls' anyone? but that became 'camp' trash. so it became fun. 

'the client list' however, costars the devine loretta devine so i have to give the first episode a shot. then again it may turn out to be good trash or guilty pleasure trash. we'll see. lifting 'hey big spender' from ''sweet charity'' is clever. and it proves hewitt sings as well as shirley macclaine did in that film. not well at all.

sunday at 10 is becoming a real crowded field. this week we have 'the good wife', 'gcb', 'game of thrones', 'the borgias', 'the killing', 'csi:miami' and now this. thank the tv gods that the cable series offer alternative viewing and there are dvr's and on-demand.
