The TV thread

Two episodes from being caught up on Justified. The end of the fourth season is pretty over-the-top, but it's a ton of fun. That's what I've appreciated about the show - it may not always be the most realistic, but it's usually quite fun and will keep me coming back for more likely as long as the show is on the air.

 

Loved Terriers.
I have never seen Firefly, but I might have to check it out.

Interesting article. Hey, who's not interested in how much money someone makes?
I'm as pro free market as they come, but the fact that "Judge" Judy makes that much money almost makes me rethink that

 

Rizzoli & Isles regular Lee Thompson Young killed himself.

He was Jett Jackson. Anyone who refers to him as a "Rizzoli & Isles regular" loses points. He was freaking Jett Jackson!

 

Is that the one with Donal Logue? He's been in a few things that were criminally underappreciated. I loved Grounded for Life. Knights of Prosperity was a good show that was painfully obvious would not last long.

 

Thanks to Wikipedia, I learned ... "The Famous Jett Jackson is a joint Canadian and American Disney Channel Original Series coming-of-age television series for children ages 12–16 ..." which aired from 1998-2001.

I was 30 when the show started airing. I didn't even know where to find the Disney Channel on DirecTV until the kiddo was 3 years old. I apologize for being old and out of the loop on kids' shows of the late 90s.

 

I don't watch teh show, but who is Max Greenfield and why does he make more per episode than Zooey Deschanel? Isn't she the star of that show?

 

I had never heard of Jett Jackson until today.

 

It must mean he has a great agent (and maybe explains why he offered to work on the Veronica Mars movie for free). But he and Jake Johnson have really become the true stars of that show, even if Deschanel is still a bigger name.

 

My two children, who know I hate Zooey Deschanel with the heat of a million blazing suns, try to get me to watch the show by touting those two guys.

 

Why would you hate her? When has she done anything that polarizing?
