Melanie Griffith is going to guest star on FX’s Nip/Tuck, but sadly she won’t be playing a patient od McNamara/Troy. According to TV Guide, she will be playing Kimber’s mom.
Brandie will be joined by Les, her too-tan, on-again-off-again car-salesman boyfriend of six years. Les, played by Robin Thomas (Another World, Who’s the Boss), ignites insta-hate from Christian (Julian McMahon). The breast-cancer-battling doc sees too much of his own abuse of women  especially Kimber  in Les’s treatment of Brandie.
I know she looks like the actress who plays Kimber, but who is with me that she would have been better cast as a patient like Joan Rivers and Joan Van Ark when they guest starred on the show?
So when Nip/Tuck first came out it was my one of my favorite shows on TV, but ever since the show left Miami for LA it is just so out there and depressing I am not sure why I am still watching this show.
Christian is dying from breast cancer, which is a sad way for the show to spend its final episodes. And that is just one of the way depressing things on the show…they also had Julia shot in the head by her lover’s daughter and Julia lost her memory. Then Julia’s lover died when Sean did plastic surgery on her. Oh and Sean was confined to a wheelchair at the beginning of the season because a woman obsessed with him stabbed him the back several times! Good times…not.
But then when it comes to out there. A few weeks ago they had a woman walk into the waiting room and chop off her breast with an electric knife. Which I could still handle, because it was medically relevant. But then last night they brought on Richard Burgi to f*ck a couch. Yes he literally strip down and do a Scott Baio (how he lost his virginity) and make sweet sweet love to a couch. Seriously? OMG! WTF? is Ryan Murphy just trying to create the stupidest scenarios because he can? I mean, the show is getting to the point that is unwatchable and I am not sure I will be around for the series finale or even to find out if Christian might beat the odds and live. And that episode airs next week during the season finale. Am I alone on my feelings about Nip/Tuck?
Now when it comes to Richard Burgi, I am not sure I will ever be able to watch him again. That is unless it is the dog scene in Hostel 2, but even that movie has been tarnished for me thanks to what he did to that poor innocent couch…which gives new meaning to the Love Seat!!!
Nip/Tuck sunk to a new low with Jennifer Coolidge aka CoCo doing a music video for a song called Yo Stank. It is not that she did the video, it is the fact that show came up with the ideas to the video. The show used to be better than that. Also in the same episode a woman cut off her breast with an electric knife in the waiting room and no one stopped her or check on her as she lied bleeding on the floor.
It is so sad that one of my favorite shows, is thisclose to being removed my DVR. It is just too out there and trying to hard. Moving to LA changed the show and not for the better.
Nip/Tuck is back tonight on FX at 10p and this season the doctors become the patients. We find out how Sean is affected by Colleen’s stabbing and let’s just say it will change the way he operates. Christian also has a health scare and it will surprise you what he has. There are some really great scenes between Liz and him as they both deal with their own problems.
As the plastic surgeons deal with their health they still find time to operate on others and the cases are just as they always were.
It is going to be interesting to see how Nip/Tuck will change with all the changes, but one that stays the same is how good the shows.
So tune into a show that is a cut above the rest tonight and every Tuesday on FX at 10p.
NBC announced their midseason lineup today and both Heroes and Medium will once again be paired together on Monday nights starting on February 2nd! Celebrity Apprentice is getting a two hour block on Sundays starting March 1st. I don't know if I can handle two hours in a row of Donald Trump's mystery hair. Knight Rider will be riding off into the sunset a little earlier than planned because they had their full season order cut from 22 to only 17. And one last note, ER will be saying goodbye on March 12th after 15 great years. I will miss the show.
ABC has set a return date for us all to enter the ballroom again on March 9th. Dancing with the Stars is changing things up and once again we will have two performance shows (week) before we say goodbye to the first star who will be stuck with that stigma for the rest of the career. Some more good news from ABC, Cupid is already in trouble. Guess the arrow through the heart needs a strong potion because they had their 13 episode order cut down to 9 according to The Live Feed. Not too late for ABC to cut their losses and pick up Eli Stone instead.
Showtime and Californication know the third time will be a charm, so that is why they picked up this show for a this season!
One final note…Nip/Tuck will be back on FX starting on January 6th and I just saw the season premiere and all I will say for now is…wow! Nip/Tuck is back, and boy is it back!!!
