VIVA LAUGHLIN VIVA LAUGHLIN!!!

Oh, friends. Soon, I will catch up with you about other things, such as my emotional ruin and my stolen (but returned!) car. But in the meantime, let us focus on what matters: The NY Times tears Viva Laughlin a new one. Viva Laughlin on CBS may well be the worst new show of the season, but is it the worst show in the history of television? It certainly comes close...

I've been eagerly, EAGERLY awaiting this disaster. See, the British series upon which it is based already teeters dangerously on the verge of being awful -- it's a fascinating tightrope they walk. And everything that I've heard about the American show's development has made it clear that the tightrope broke ages ago, and body parts litter the pavement below.

Melanie Griffith plays Bunny, a former flame of Ripley's who is married to one of his investors but still has a thing for him, which she expresses by wearing a pink and black lace lingerie while singing the Blondie song "One Way or Another." ("One way or another, I'm gonna find ya/I'm gonna get ya, get ya, get ya, get ya.")

Thank you, NYT, for confirming that all my most mean dreams are about to come true. It will be the most glorious of car wrecks. Oh, I shall watch with GLEE.
