Yes and no. My idea/model differs from his but yes it involves textbooks.

I would hope your model differs, lol. His was absolutely terrible (as was his presentation.)

The waffle dude was siiick.

My model/idea is more non-profit though.

Watching Undercovers right now, seems like a cool show. Don't want to seem racist but seeing all black cast (for the most part) is weird. Never seen that before on a show that wasn't a black comedy show.

NBC. "more colorful"

Have you seen this woman in the morning? Haha best comment of the show.

3 Justin 3 · 09-22-2010, 09:37 PM

I am really liking Undercovers so far. Has a real "Chuck" feel about it, spy couple, the missions, really cool. The acting is good (unlike The Event which had awful acting), and the cinematography is really good. Hopefully the show keeps this up.

What's it about? (please don't LMGTF me)

Dion · 09-22-2010, 09:47 PM

The Defenders rocked!

A show about 2 lawyers with a bit of humour thrown in. Going to be a great series.

3 Justin 3 · 09-22-2010, 09:50 PM

It is about a couple who have been married for 5 years who used to be spies (thus the Chuck reference I gave). Some guy shows up who works for the CIA and tells them a fellow agent has gone rouge/disappeared. They get thrown into the mission and are spies again.

It isn't over yet (still 12 minutes left), but I assume they are going to get back into the spy game and each episode will be a different mission.

The production value seems super high, they have already been to Moscow, Paris, and somewhere in Spain and it is just episode 1. I am sure it is all green screen, but still it looks amazing. Plenty of action, funny dialogue, good acting.

Definitely recommend giving it a try.

Hopefully he takes a bigger role in the show moving forward.

Cross has his own show starting Oct 1st on IFC with Will Arnett guest starring in it as well.

The Increasingly Poor Decisions of Todd Margaret

Surprised it hasn't been talked about here.

Edit: Linked the wrong video... Fixed

Tim Curry is creeping me the f out in Criminal Minds.

Just the way I like him.

Eastern Girl · 09-22-2010, 11:14 PM

I watched Running Wilde and really enjoyed it. Definitely hope it lasts. I like the neighbour guy as fake doctor. Thought that was well done.

That David Cross show looks great. IFC though? I imagine that is why I haven't heard of it. Looks pretty good though.

Yeah. From what I can tell Cross and Arnett did the first episode as a 1 time comedy showcase thing in the UK and IFC picked it up as a series.

The Bad news is it doesn't appear to be on IFC in Canada.
