Harry Reems passed away yesterday at the age of 65 from Pancreatic Cancer according to his friend Don Schenk. In 1972 Reems starred in the Deep Throat, the first adult movie to be made for the big screen. Two years later he was arrested for conspiracy to distribute obscenity across state lines because of that film. Then in 1976 he was convicted for the crime, but the conviction was overturned a year later.
He spent the next decade doing mostly adult films, hundreds of them, before retiring from the business in the mid ’80s and settling in Utah.
So today honor his legacy and watch Deep Throat as a big FU to “The Man” who tried to bring him down.
CBS has picked up CSI, the most watched show in the world, for a 14th season. The network also announced that Ted Danson extended his contract to stay with the criminal procedural for at least another season. He will not be alone because Elisabeth Shue, George Eads, Jorja Fox, Eric Szmanda, Paul Guilfoyle, Robert David Hall, Wallace Langham, Elisabeth Harnois, David Berman and Jon Wellner are still on the case with him.
No word if its spinoff CSI: NY will be back, but I think that show will be making like a corpse especially if Vegas does well in its timeslot.
To say this has been a horrible midseason for the networks would be an understatement. Do No Harm lasted just two episodes, Zero Hour aired one more, Tuesdays were not good for Cult and Smash because The CW show is on Fridays and NBC is moving is musical drama to Fridays and Deception deceived us all by airing its full run without anyone knowing.
Well I guess the networks are changing their strategies and launching a few more because The Tonight Show aired what’s coming to a TV near you in the upcoming weeks. We are getting Emotional Wipeout, Mourning Wood, Homeland the RomCom, How I Hillybilly Handfished Your Mother and Un.O. All 5 of those are shows are still a much better idea then when NBC decided to give Jay Leno the 10p slot Mondays to Fridays a few years ago. C’mon it was too easy not to go there!
Snooki was a guest on Anderson Cooper’s show yesterday and she brought out some of her breast milk in a glass for him to try. The host of Anderson Live will travel the world and risk his life to get the story, but he draws the line when it comes to drinking anything that comes out of a woman.
