Boy Meets Boy wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be… if you just forget the cruel twist, i.e., some of the “mates” are straight, unbeknownst to the leading man, James. Yeah, the desert-island questions and answers were gimmicky and cheesy. I roll my eyes when people say things like, “That’s what life is all about” or “The most important thing in life is…” Stop speaking in vague absolutes like you’re some fortune cookie or something! However, I think what lulled me into the show is the fact that I got swept up in the search for Mr. Right, right along with him. And really, who doesn’t enjoy a good pool party?
I sincerely want James to find a nice guy, but periodically during the show, I keep forgetting that (dun dun dun) some of the guys aren’t even on his team. So in the end, it’s a cruel twist on all of us: the leading man and us vicarious viewers. Still, you better believe I’m tuning in next week. Did you see the previews? There are cowboy hats. And dancing!
In other TV news, Sex in the City is pulling out all the stops. Ballet icon Mikhail Baryshnikov will join the show as an artist who becomes a new love interest for Carrie. What was up with Berger this week? Punk.
This has just been an emotional week on TV… After I caught a re-airing of Sunday’s SatC, I just kinda sat there. The whole “I’m gone, I’m back, I’m leaving for good” just threw me flat on my back. But I guess I should’ve known… two relationships getting back together in one episode? Dream on.
A POST-IT!
Ron Livingston would never do that in real life! *sniff!*
