I would like to say my tastes in television rise above eye candy in David E. Kelly penned shows, but those three young women are decent actresses and smokin' hot. Since someone* (to be named after I look around) already did an Alyssa Milano drooling thread:

Girl's Club on Fox (http://www.fox.com/girlsclub/)

I am placing my vote for the brunette, Chyler Leigh. I almost never visit a show's website, much less look at star's bios. The word bio is just gay. I knew I had seen the girl somewhere. The miserable "That 80's show". She was cute there and luckily she appears sans foot high spiked hair in this show.

O.K. I see in the distance, I may be approachiing some freaky fanboy zone so I bid you all adieu.

EDIT: *Tom Ohle :wink:

It's too bad David E. Kelly's shows are so profoundly stupid. Being on Girl's Club will keep these women from obtaining respectable employment.

Agreed. Why would Gretchen Mol, who has numerous screen and stage credits to her name, do this type of series or television at all, FTM? I guess there is something to be said for a steady paycheck, but another lawyer show with a 90210 castaway and a relative unknown as co-stars, no less. That's showbiz.

I kept waiting for the ironic use of "It's A Man's, Man's, Man's World" on the soundtrack.

Don't forget the sincere use of "R-E-S-P-E-C-T" in a montage which shows the girls prepping for a big legal fight / dumping caddish boyfriends.

Chyler was also in Not Another Teen Movie, which I saw about half of before trying to kill myself.

I think because she's "a big star", FOX kept her around after 80's show tanked.

Ummm...

This is where I'd normally chime in and say "Hey! I liked 'Not Another Teen Movie!'," but I'll refrain.

I did, though...It was a great parody of all those movies that my wife keeps making me sit through. :)

Chyler

How does one pronounce this abomination of a name? Kyle-r? Chy-ler?

I've always heard it "Shy-ler," but that doesn't make it right.

I think it's "Killer".

I assumed it was like Ty-ler. The evidence that I was fated to be with her and not my current wife is building.

How sickening would it be to wear an airbrushed shirt with "Chyler-n-Tyler" on it and a beach sunset in the background? :)

Okay then, you are officially in freaky fanboy zone.

She is hot though.

Are you guys and gals getting as anxious as I am? Only 67 more hours until a new episode of Girl's Club!!!

By the sparse replies to my topic, I am going to surmise that fluffy, cheesily written dramas are not to the liking of the well-informed citizens of this board. I do not like them either, so I cannot blame anyone for not keeping this thread alive. However.....

I believe there is a certain magic that occurs when these three highly skilled actresses do their voodoo that they do so wellllllllllll (with all respect due to the great Harvey Corman). This kind of chemistry is found maybe once a decade in today's easy come easy go rat race that is prime time network television. Plus they are, as I said prior, smokin' hot. Call it what you will; a guilty pleasure, the ravings of a hard-up fanboy, or just sad.

I herby vow, that I will do my damndest to keep everyone here abreast (heehee) of the goings on at David E. Kelly's latest law firm boob-tube (again, heehee) masterpiece throughout the entire Fox season*.




*Out-clause: If there are no girl-girl kissing scenes within the first, let's say......7, no, 10 episodes. My updates are to be allowed to cease. tj

I think your time might be better spent downloading files from alt.binaries.multimedia.nude.celebrities. The plot their is more cohesive and the dialogue isn't so hackneyed. Plus it isn't as insulting to your intelligence.

Well, where would the fun be in that? I could not clutter the board and annoy visitors here with that.

Excuse me, I meant to say that I would not be able to share with all of you the trials, tribulationns, defeats, and triumphs of these three strong, independent women. Or should I say, womyn. Grrrrrl power!!!

If there was less law and more naked pillow fights, I'd consider watching. Oh hell, consider nothing, I'd be glued to that set every episode.

I think that goes without saying. Unless you glue yourself to the set now, however, you may miss it. I will tell everyone about it here, but by then it will be too late. Then you'll all be sorry and who will be the smart one then? Me, that's who.

Only those with the patience and discipline of a Navy Seal can sit through this entire show week after mind numbing week waiting for drunken roommate 'experimentation' between three young, bi-curious women.

Kelly sure is a fan of the sweeps stunt lesbian kiss, so you definitely have that to look forward to.

See! There is a God! I told you guys so!

Hey, maybe no one will ever buy a show from David E. Kelly ever again. That would be super! I'm thinking Fox might've let him produce Girls Club just so they could cancel it and satisfy a development deal. Hell, I still can't figure out why they keep that piece of shit Boston Public on the air. They should put it on Friday where no one will watch and put Firefly on Monday where it will have a chance.

Hmm, maybe now Chyler Leigh and Gretchen Mol are that much closer to appearing in late-night Skinemax B-movies.

See, everyone wins then!

That's the spirit!!!

Now that the charade is over I can honestly say I watched all two episodes and that show sucked ass!

None of those characters seemed fit to be attorneys!

Gretchen would ignore advice from her lawyer mentor and get in legal trouble in both episodes. She is a lawyer for goodness sake.

The 90210 drop out was being sexually harassed by a partner and passed it off as him being friendly.

Chyler Leigh-Jenkins shot her mouth off constantly which had her in deep doo-doo. She fought with a fellow newbie and called her a dyke where the whole firm overheard it. Actually a funny scene, but still.

It's like they all went straight from Kelly's stereotype ridden Boston Public directly into a law firm.

I saw an interview with Gretchen Mol where she said Kelly really knew how to write for women. Obviously the women he can write always are stereotypical bitchy, naive, stubborn loud-mouths types.

It was soooo bad I figured the viewing public would eat it up and it would have a good 4 or 5 season run. Fox got this one right and how.

Kelly's like Cameron that way, being thought of as a feminist because he writes stuff with women who kick ass. Only when Cameron does it he isn't writing that character that way to empower women, he's doing it because guys like hot chicks who kick ass. I've actually read interviews where he says that. David E. Kelly and James Cameron are pretty much the two biggest hacks in Hollywood.

Nah, that would be Paul Verhoeven and Akiva Goldman. Maybe Joel Schumacher and Rene Esterhas as well.
Brad Grenz
10-30-2002, 11:57 PM
Oooh, I hate Verhoeven too. The guy contructs every movie around some weird sexual fantasy. Hollow Man was built around voyuerism. Starship Troopers was constructed to support a unisex shower scene. They're all like that, it's creepy.

But I say Cameron and Kelly because of how successful their trash is. Titanic is the highest grossing movie of all time, and Kelly to both the best drama and best comedy Emmies in the same year. They've both have, or had, all of Hollywood completely snowed. I might've put Aaron Spelling in the running, but he's just too hands off. Kelly writes like every episode of his shows and Cameron directs and writes his movie.

In defense of Paul Verhoeven, he did make the original Robocop.

[EDIT: just remembered the scene you were mentioning]

That was what, like two minutes in the entire movie?

Dammit Asher. First you let the domain name lapse and then you do not follow these topics closely enough to realize that that was commented on in a prior post in this very thread.

Does anyone else feel like their is something integral missing from their lives tonight? Specifically to have been felt at around 8:00pm Central and Mountain time on the Fox Network following David E. Kelly's gripping high school drama set in the mean streets of Boston, Mass.

I feel that something is not right tonight. It is a lonely pulse from deep within my soul. OTOH, that could just be gas from my wife's casserole. Oh well, back to the AoM demo.
