If I had a nickle for every time me, my father or JMTIV has said “why isn’t Thomas Calabro on TV more?” I would be able to pay for that medical student girl’s tuition. (Yeah, I don’t know these kids names and I won’t bother to learn them until mid-season because I learned my lesson from Amy Locane and Vanessa Williams.) Seriously how hot was Michael in that car? A little Back to the Future for my taste, but that was vintage Mancini. I only wish Dr. Peter Burns was riding shotgun! Oh, if this show sticks around I hope that somehow Heather Locklear and Jack Wagner will agree to a brief five minute cameo where they sip champagne, tear everyone to shreads and then ride off into the sunset forever.
I’ll be perfectly honest with you: I had very low expectations for this premiere and I was pleasantly surprised. It didn’t totally suck and it was way better than 90210. However, as always, some lingering questions:
- Why am I not totally annoyed by Ashlee Simpson? Is it because it’s only physically possible for me to be totally annoyed by one Simpson sibling? Because compared to Jessica, I find Ashlee positively charming.
- Why is Sydney’s apartment (Amanda’s old apartment) suddenly a “penthouse”? Actually, I can see Sydney declaring that and making everyone refer to it by that name, but still.
- Do you think David Charvet is sitting at home with Brooke Burke wondering why Sydney faked her death on thier wedding day?
- Where did this random son of Michael’s come from?
- What ever happened to Jane and her dee-zines?
- Engaged couple is the new Billy and Allison. I can’t wait for the cheating and freezer vodka-binges to start.
- What’s up with the guy who played Erica Kane’s “not really aborted fetus” on All My Children?
- Why was Sydney apparently the mayor of Cougartown?
- Why isn’t anyone hanging out at Shooters?

So you like the new MP? I didn’t even bother to tune in. Ratings said it did terrible.
Hee on the aborted fetus son of AMC.
I squeed with delight when Michael showed up in that hot car. What kind of car was it? I was thrilled.
I cannot be bothered to learn any of the characters names either. I know Michael and Sydney and that’s all I need to know. Tho I think his son might be named David?
Like you, I want Locklear and Wagner pronto. I didn’t hate it and it’s miles better than 90210 (what isn’t?) It won’t crack my regular viewing rotation but if nothing else is on I’m probably in.
I agree. I don’t hate it like I thought I would.
And Thomas Calabro is 50. He likes to bend, and stretch, and Kick! It’s all about yoga and vegetarianism he says. That’s not what I want from Dr. Mancini, but for T.C., I’ll allow it.
Whereas we all know Laura Leighton believes in a smart sunhat and Taco Tuesdays at Don Cuco’s in Burbank.
Yeah, when did that Penthouse shit start?! Had we but known, we could’ve called our Level Three (The 3rd Level if ya Nasty….) “The Penthouse”. And we would’ve gotten away with it too, if it weren’t for you kids, your dog, and the closet fucking.
And yes, I already hate engaged couple. The blackmailed director should’ve said, “Close your mouth there, you’re catching flies.”
Now it’s all about counting the days until Dee-zines and photo shoots set to Mr. Wendel return for their respective episodes….
