It's spring and there are new shows to fall in love with and get your heart ripped out by (I'm still stinging from this whole Veronica Mars thing...).The Riches (FX): Loved the pilot. Loved Eddie, Minnie, the kids, all of it. It's dark, twisty and perfect.
Andy Barker, PI (NBC): I was confused about what all the fuss was about. I saw the pilot last summer and was pretty disappointed. But sometimes I'm wrong, so I tuned in and quickly saw that big chunks of the old clunker were now gone and replaced with a new wife (Audrey from Ellen!) and snappier comedy. The improved pilot lives up to the hype.
Raines (NBC): Yawn.

I watched all 6 Andy Barker episodes that NBC has up on NBC.com and while I found the show competent, sweet, cute, and nicely shot, it came across as a little vanilla to me, and fairly unsurprising.
However, I do want to see it, and Andy Richter succeed so I'll be pulling for it. The whole thing did just make me sad for the late "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" which I feel was funny and enjoyable in all the ways I find this show to be a little lacking.
Patron Saint, it's like we finallyy put that unfortunate Black Donnellys difference behind us and can move forward in a positive direction of the same mind again.

Oh I'm still tuning in to watch the Black Donnellys. Cause if there's one thing I love, it's good TV. If there are two things I love, it's good TV and bitching.
And if there are three things you love, it's good TV, bitching, and Tommy Donnelly's abs. It's like he could have been a Spartan.
Q
Andy Barker=blah.
My apologies to Jane Espenson.
Also, I say again:
Tommy Donnelly's abs=blech.
My apologies to his personal trainer.
