Labor Day Television

By Pete

Happy Labor Day. I’m barely capable of doing the thinking required to compose entire paragraphs, but I’ll try.

On TV tonight… a new episode of The Closer (which I enjoyed) and the debut episode of Raising the Bar.

Here’s what I think about Raising the Bar: it’s awful. Of course, I’m sure a healthy portion of that has to do with how fake it is. Of course, I hate when people say things like that. Aside from the unrealistic nature of it, I’m not sure why — in an hour-long, commercial-free episode, it felt like they couldn’t go 3 minutes without jamming sex down our throats.

Also, Zack Morris fighting with Malcom’s mom is hilarious. As is the gay male law clerk sleeping with the female judge to sway her rulings.

…all in all, it’s just so sensational that it will either be a huge hit or a huge flop. I don’t think there’s any in between. I’ll probably give it another chance, though, if for no other reason than to find out if the Blonde ordered the double bourbon at the end for herself or Zack Morris. Either way, it’s pretty hot.
