We love Joel McHale, host of The Soup on E! He tells us everything we need to know about what’s happening on TV, which is good because we just don’t have time to watch all these shows. His review of Viva Laughlin, that “showcase” for Melanie Griffith that lasted all of two episodes before CBS felt the humiliation and yanked it off the air, is one of my favorite Joel McHale moments. I’ll never forgive myself for missing Viva Laughlin when it was on, and I only hope CBS will release the whole series on DVD so I can get it from Netlix.













A singin’, dancin’ extravaganza!?!?! Did we learn nothing from Cop Rock?
Seriously? Was it a musical? Or a comedy? I didn’t watch it simply because Melanie Griffith was in it. But that little clip was hilarious.
@ Bound and Gags – Cop Rock is available on DVD. I haven’t rented it, but you’ve reminded me to put it on my Bucket List.
@ Little Miss – NO, it wasn’t a comedy! But it was a musical. I’m so mad I didn’t see it, or DVR it to keep forever.
As long as you said ‘reminded’ because I was sure their would be blame involved.

Let’s be careful out there
We had a 187 at the 7-11.
Oh my GOD I hate musicals! So much! I’m using the word “hate” here …
Melanie Griffith deserves a showcase, dammit!
I love him. He’s hilarious and kinda hot, too.
@ Bound and Gags - I still can’t figure out why that show failed.
@ David – Normally I’d agree with you, but musical TV shows disguised as drama are da bomb.
@ MBMQ – She does! And her new disfigured lips deserve a show of their own.
@ Brian – Right on both counts!
Joel is such a cutie. I totally have a celebrity crush on him!
