In Jack Bauer
Having nicely wrapped up the terrorist plot before the end of the day, Jack must now track down poor tortured Audrey. Meanwhile, it really looks like the president is going to croak, doesn’t it?
Drive airs another episode tonight. I’m sorry, but I have to give this one a big fat no. I love Nathan Fillion and all, but this show is ridiculous. I have nothing against elaborate, constantly unfolding conspiracies (see: Lost), but ease us into it, you know? Try to make us care about these people as regular people, in realistic situations doing things people actually do, before you transform their entire world into a giant evil conspiracy. It’s too ridiculous, there are too many hastily sketched characters, and that man’s daughter looks too much like Lindsay Lohan. I’m giving it up.
We interrupt your regularly scheduled programming: Don’t get enough weird medical shit on House? Try Mystery Diagnosis on Discovery Health. And we at TiFaux can’t stress enough how important it is to continue to avoid Thank God You’re Here. This is for your own good.

yes, but FILLION!
It’s Mal! but now he’s Alex. He’s “MAlex”! Support Malex in his quest to find Fred. Ingore all of the subplots (especially the brothers. and the daughter. and the 3 women. and the woman with the plastic baby. And geriatric motercyclers. Ok, everyone but Malex. Though I liked the atrophysicist. I don’t know why.)
BUT IT”S FILLION!

What is the problem with Thank God You’re Here? I checked it out, with your warnings taken on board, because I can’t not watch something featuring Dave Foley (except perhaps for Uwe Boll’s next effort, Postal).
So expecting the worst, and seeing it going that way with DAG’s hopeless introduction, it then confused me by going on to be very funny most the way through. Wayne Knight was surprisingly good, Joel McHale also funnier than I’d expected, and while Jennifer Coolidge flopped lazily into her A Mighty Wind accent and said little amusing (beyond the superb desire to banish dry ice), Bryan Cranston was just fantastic, and had me laughing out loud many times.
I’m a harsh audience for comedy, especially televised improv, but this was a genuinly funny show. If you ignroe the woeful final group sketch, of course. Which I’m willing to do since the rest worked so well.
So, what’s the beef grumpy bloggers?
