Tom the Dog's Completely Unfair Preview of the Fall 2005 TV Season, Part 2 - Page 2

This fall, The WB will usher in a new generation of storytelling set in the dark world of the unexplained.
No, not yet, although that is obnoxiously cheesy.
Filmmakers McG
There you go! Say no more! McG is involved? I'm out! Get thee behind me, McG!

-Twins, sadly, is not the WB's adaptation of the Schwarzenegger/DeVito comedy. Instead, it's about two sisters, one of whom is pretty and one of whom is smart! Sara Gilbert must be so flattered she got cast as the smart one. Also, we get to see what has become of Mark Linn-Baker since Perfect Strangers went off the air. Judging from the cast photo: unflattering aging.

UPN

-Sex, Love & Secrets (formerly Sex, Lies & Secrets — you think Steven Soderbergh objected to the name?) stars 34-year-olds Denise Richards and Tamara Taylor in this "fresh, edgy new drama" about "twenty-somethings". I guess it is fresh and edgy for the "something" in "twenty-something" to mean "fourteen".

-Love, Inc. originally cast Shannen Doherty as a matchmaker who can't find herself a man, which raised two questions: who looked at Miss Match and decided, "That show would've worked perfectly if only it had starred Shannen Doherty instead of Alicia Silverstone"? And: who in their right mind would hire Shannen Doherty? Well, UPN has answered those questions by firing her ass. Damn, Shannen, can't even wait to get on the air before making everybody hate you, huh? Now, Busy Phillips has taken her place. Which raises the question: who the hell is Busy Phillips?



*That's a lie.
**Also a lie.
***Starring Crispin Glover and Anne Heche!
