Love Monkey

[Zens7s]

Did anyone watch this tonight? I am so suprised and so pleased at how much I loved it. The previews made it look like some darkly lit friends rehash and I have pretty little interest. Not so at all...

If you liked High Fidelity I think you would equally enjoy this. Hopefully it continues to be as intelligent as the first episode.

Thanks for reminding me. I wanted to check it out!

And that Sid Vicous real name dealy came off like the writing crew had just googled it and thought they were clever.

Yeah, but he ends up giving the kid back to the jerk guy he works with after he loses his job and his girlfriend and figures out he only wants things that he can't have...not because they are good, or good for him.

And doesn't the name thing prove exactly what you are bitching about all the time regarding big name record companies? That they are run by people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground musically? You should have stuck around for him making his big manifesto about what the company needed to do to be successful...and getting his ass handed to him because that isn't what makes a company successful. The line about "But I discovered Hanson" was funny.

That they are run by people who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground musically?I know that. You know that. This just felt forced. I mean, I could actually picture the writing crew sitting around the table thinking about that scene and looking up his real name on the computer just so they could throw it into the bit. There's no way that kid has ever heard of Sid Vicious. He plays weenie music for girls to cry over in Buffalo, NY.

You should have stuck around...You're probably right, considering I couldn't. The problem is, I know that A&R's job is not to fly around and view talent. A&R is the devil. A&R says, "All I care about is the single, so write a fuckin' ballad."

he loses his job and his girlfriend and figures out he only wants things that he can't have...not because they are good, or good for him.Maybe the thing is if I'm going to watch a version of myself, I'd rather it not be so thinly veiled. I like Tom Cavenaugh, I like the idea of the show, I'm going through the same thing with the ex ("I thought you didn't believe in marriage?"). However, this is the network TV, homoginized for your protection version, and maybe I hate seeing myself as a focus group, demographic, target audience statistic.

I can dig Scrubs, because aside from the doctoring and the goofy scenarios, I can identify with it. This show is possibly too close to home. There are probably doctors who can't watch Scrubs for the same reasons I couldn't get into this show.

Somebody needs to invent Tivo that records what I think looks good. I can't be depended on to press the record button.

This show is possibly too close to home.Probably. I feel that way everytime I watch The Office.
