Showtime has decided to cancel United States of Tara and renew Nurse Jackie according to Variety. I am surprised that they would cancel a show that actually got them an Emmy, but then again I haven’t been able to watch that show since the pilot. When I got the screeners for the third season of both shows, I actually stopped watching mid-way through the episodes because I couldn’t stand either show. I give every screener a chance, but these shows were such sh!t I couldn’t put myself through it.
Both shows reach a certain audience and I am not that audience. Well doesn’t look like Tara was that many people’s either. I think it had a good concept, but it went in such a weird direction it became unwatchable. On that note, can someone explain the appeal of Nurse Jackie to me? I just don’t get why so many people think this show is the sh!t, when the only scene that caught my attention was when a dead rat fell down from the ceiling at the hospital and landed on one of the nurse’s lunch. I think that says it all for anyone who has never seen the show.
Tonight at 10:30p the fourth and final season of Secret Diary of a Call Girl begins on Showtime and I think it is the most erotic one yet. The season starts off with Hannah is starting a new life in her very own home, bit it won’t only be her’s for long.
In the first episode of the season Belle is hired by lawyer, who can’t finish and it’s her job to help to get there. She will try, try, try and try again and eventually will find the solution in one of her most sensual sex scenes to date. She rewards him and he will give her some information that will change her life. Stephanie was arrested and she wants Belle to replace her as the Madame. At first she fights it, but eventually gives in. That is not all Stephanie wants, she also wants Belle to take her in daughter, who doesn’t know what her mom really does for a living. How long will that last? Will Belle be able to survive as a Madame and a Call Girl? Will Hannah and Ben’s relationship work? And you will never believe who knows her secret? And most importantly what type of interesting clients will she have sex with this final season of this darling show that makes me wonder if I went into the wrong profession…
And after this show ends, Showtimes goes from the scripted story of a Call Girl to the real life of Call Guys. Gigolos follows 5 men who are hired to pleasure women for money and we find out what their lives are like and how they got into the business. Ever wonder what happens if he is not interested in the women that hire them, well we find out what they do. In one of the future episodes 4 (yes four) of them are hired by one woman who has a plan for all of them at once…and these guys are basically doing it for free. Find out why and what she has planned for them. And basically find out what life is like for a Gigolo in Sin City every Thursday night at 11p! And make sure the kids are asleep because this is not for them, it is for the grown ups because there is at least one sex scene in every show.
If you are like me and you are still missing The Tudors, well The Borgias will fill that void starting tonight on Showtime at 9p. The Borgias Family is being described as the “original crime family” and in tonight’s two hour premiere episode you will start to understand how they got that title. And talking about titles, the show starts off with Rodrigo (played by Jeremy Irons) a Spaniard and the head of the family, being elected as Pope in the 15th century during the Renaissance. So just saying when it takes place, you can only imagine how beautiful the costumes and the scenery is for this series. But it isn’t only about Pope Alexander VI, it is also about his family. His Courtesan, the mother of his four children, who is jealous when he takes a new younger mistress. His older son Giovanni, who has a way with the ladies especially his sister.
There are plenty of people that are trying to stop the Pope, but there are many more who will stop them is this beautifully well done period piece that airs every Sunday on Showtime. Just like how The Tudors taught us about their legacy, The Borgias will do the same.
TV Land announced that its first scripted show Hot in Cleveland is doing so well in its second season that it deserves a third one. The hit show earned not one but two SAG Award nominations this year and Betty White brought home an Actor! As a huge fan of the show, I am so happy that TV Land not only created this hysterical show starring Valerie Bertinelli, Jane Leeves, Wendie Mallick and Betty White but they are sticking with it for at least one more season. It gives sitcoms hope that the old formula is not dead!
Now over to Showtime, they are not Shameless when it comes to ordering more Episodes from two of their new shows. William H Macy will be back in his Shameless show and Matt LeBlanc’s show Epsiodes is seeing something Joey didn’t…a second season. I can’t wait to see where they Epsiodes next season. In other words I want to see his huge dick! They talked enough about it, it is time to see it!!!
Sean and Beverly Lincoln are moving to Hollywood to redo their hit British show here in The States, only problem is the network wants Joey aka Matt LeBlanc to play the lead role. Starting tonight at 9:30p on Showtime’s Episodes The Lincolns are going to try to turn their hit British show into an American show and survive working with Matt LeBlanc. Let’s just say working with the Friends star is not going to be easy, but it is freaking funny for us to watch. So tune into Episodes tonight and every Sunday at 930p on Showtime for LeBlanc’s funniest show since Friends!
