-The homepage of Surface (previously known as Fathom) asks the provocative (by which I mean "stupid") question, "Ever wonder what life would be like if a new form of sea life began to appear in locales all over the Earth?" If you don't mind, I'm going to answer for each and every one of you: NO. No, we have not. Don't be an idiot. You know what other question we never asked? "Can we see that one hot chick from Boston Legal in a dopey, aquatic-based sci-fi show that will fold after six episodes? No, the other hot chick. No, the other one."
-You can tell E-Ring is doomed just because of its stupid title. Sounds like an internet phone service. Before seeing the commercials, would you ever have guessed it's really about the Pentagon — and it stars Dennis Hopper? Frank Booth — in the frickin' Pentagon? That's it! World's over.

If you were an insider, you could watch the first episode of each new show and be able to tell us ... nothing more than you just did. The pilot episode has become a combination sales pitch / prehistory in which everything the show will be is put into place. It's second cousin to the movie trailer. And this is what the Entertainment Monitering Industry uses to predict the quality of a new show.
Shouldn't Hewitt's ripoff of Arquette's Medium be called Large and Firm? (I didn't type that; someone else must have.)

But I better not see any pink lipstick or I'm so done with it.
That is all.
