Oh DR RLP one more thing about Big Brother (hmm this seems to be a popular topic today).

I believe that Drew voted to evict Will because Cowboy told him that he had a plan. And for that plan to succeed, Will had to be evicted.

Also, I believe that Diane was playing both sides, and that she might have voted out Will. But she wanted it to look like she was still with Jen/Karen. And she wanted ADRIA to break the tie. That way everyone would go after Adria/Nat this week.

I also believe that Diane did not want to win HOH. And neither did Jen. My gosh they both got so many wrong at the end! Probably on purpose.

Wellll...we're not sure, but this problem may be fixed. My computer has been plagued with all kinds of stuff. The particular problem here... posting and then the thing either freezing on me or giving me an illegal operation message...seems to have been a driver problem on my modem. The program has been re-installed and we're hoping that solves it. But if I disappear again, we'll know it didn't.

I've been reading the reviews on WHAT IF...The ones I've seen -- LA TIMES, LA WEEKLY, BACKSTAGE -- have all praised BK's inventiveness and smart, witty lyrics, the performers, and the production in general, but seem to have a problem with the concept...feeling that it should have all been song parodies. However, I agree with BK on this. I think all parodies would pall pretty fast. And I quite enjoy the rarities and rarely-heard glories of the review numbers. And again, BK, in the opening number and in his program notes, expresses quite eloquently the "themeless" theme.

Whew...yes DRSTUART, you are correct. I think everyone traversing the narrow streets of Gay Paree should drive 1961 Chrysler 300 autos, especially if your shoes match the interior upholstery! And if you go really really fast you will be out of the city and on a country road surround by trees in a matter of seconds!

Off to NUNSENSE....

Having a tough time deciding on a Bollywood movie for the weekend...I have about 15 or so that I have not yet watched...I am thinking I might be able to get two of them in...maybe a new one and an old classic, perhaps...well here is the first one

AAN (2004) a brand new release starring two of my fav Bollywood hunks Akshay Kumar and Sunil Shetty. It is the story of a good police officer who runs into trouble when he uncovers corruption at the police station! Oh, my!

...and for Bollywood movie # 2 (if time permits) MERA SAAYA a suspense film from the 1960s. A lawyer returns home to find his wife dying. Later he meets a lady who is the spitting image of his dead wife. Hmmmm...I think there is a mystery afoot!

FS Pogue - The only reviewer I've seen so far who fully "gets" the theme of themelessnes is the woman writing for the Tolucan Times. I posted the review late last night.
Come to think of it, WHAT IF? would be a revue that Jerry Seinfeld would appreciate -- as it proudly proclaims that it's about nothing.

For fans of our very own DR Jose - the ENTERTAINMENT TODAY review - which is extremely positive ("a rib-tickling couple of hours") refers to "the amazing piano work by Jose C. Simbulan."
Congrats to the amazing DR!

Has anyone seen the preview for the new NBC show Joey?

It played last night during the Olympics.

It featured Joey (from Friends) driving after arriving in LA. He proceeds to say something about how crazy it is that they drive on the other side of the road (while cars swerve to stop from hitting him).

Very funny commercial.

I've always loved Joey so I hope the show is good.

Ooh-la-la, Mssr. François, but you French have a version of Big Brother, too, n'est-ce pas?

?

I understood this to be a very popular show within most European countries.

Oh, yes! This kind of show is popular all over the world... and that is what is SAD, IMHO!
People love to peep through keyholes, I'm afraid, and BIG BROTHER = BIG BUCKS!

As Cole would say: Anything Goes!

Lovely afternoon poolside. Just hot enough to make sunning and then cooling off in the pool a perfect balance. We stayed about 3 hours. There were more clouds early in the afternoon so we didn't get a huge amount of direct sun.

I do not watch BB or any such shows (I am one of those go out and "Get a Life" critics!!).
BB was originally a Dutch programme based on a much shorter experiment from Sydney OZ called "The House Of Hell". I really have no comprehension as to why such voyeurism is seen as entertainment nor why there is such a market for 5 minute celebrities these days.
Guess I am not really much of a Televison watcher at any time.
"Frozen Lazerus" (Dennis Potter)should be required viewing. Is this the future we really want?

The above should not be seen as a criticism of the DRs who enjoy these programs. Just the views of a grump at 7.51 am OZ time.

JOEY shot a complete pilot episode in late spring (they have since recast one of the roles) so NBC could show it to broadcasters and TV critics over the summer. The show is supposedly very funny and should get the series off to a smashing start come September. I am very much looking forward to it as Joey became my favorite "friend" as the series ran.

Hello, grumpy Tomovoz!

You mean, you don't enjoy looking at "real" people doing "real" things in a "real" environment?

Get "real"!

A snippet of the Where's Charley? review

The small orchestra, working under musical director Michael O'Flaherty and playing skillfully reduced orchestrations by Larry Moore, sounds fine except when the synthesizer clearly comes through as a synthesizer. Purists may lament the fact that the show's overture has been cut -- though, under the circumstances, it probably wouldn't have sounded terrific anyway. (A few bars of it are heard at the beginning of the entr'acte, for whatever that's worth.)

One can only hope. Personally, I've found the promos sadly lacking in cleverness, humor or anything remotely grin-worthy. The one on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, in which Joey states his belief that the actors are buried under their stars, left me numb.

It made me think that Joey could only be funny when Chandler was around.

I hope I'm wrong.

I hope it a lot.

Brooke Shields, at this point, is not official or anywhere near official. They don't even know if they can last until Donna's contract runs out sometime in October.

DR TCB is unable to log on the NET at home and is not allowed to do so from work.

Elmore receives some medical test results today (I think).

The best of good wishes to out Dear Friends.

Best wishes also to the "Portland Gang".
