i recognized her from mind of a married man.

also who was the red headed woman from pilot?

i checked imdb for the names of the woman in the credits but none are lsited there.

Ivana Milicevic plays Julia on the show, and was on "The Mind of the Married Man" as Missy.

Milena Govich plays the woman who dumps Tom in the pilot, and she was on "Rescue Me" as Candy.

He might have been flying into JFK airport which is in NY. Should have flown into Newark.

 

[Ivan Lindenfeld]

All this time it never registered that her name was Ivana, even though I watched every episode of "Mind of a Married Man".

Oh, and the similarity to my own first name. I get a palm patty to my head.

Ivana Milicevic. I'll remember it now.

DUH.

I finally watched the second episode. Had to fast forward through the scenes that focused on the Larenz Tate and Jason Priestley characters though. The show isn't great when the Tom Cavanaugh character is on the screen, but it absolutely dies when he's not. For me at least.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Even though the main story was kinda predictable, there's this wayne-ness that makes it okay, gives off that soothing vibe, puts a grin on my face while watching it.

I didn't care for this episode as much as tghe others. Seems like the writers are trying to be toooo cutesy with the dialogue and Cavanauh is annoying with his little, I love myself, smirk all the time.
And the ending where the little kid turns his hat around to emmulate the lead character? Gag!
The kid singer is annoying. Get a haircut already.

This is something my dad was telling me 35 years ago. Have we swung back to this.

 

[Mikel_Cooperman]

I'm not that old but I was asking myself the same thing.

 

[Ivan Lindenfeld]

I liked the vibe of last night's show, but the show is still finding it's footing thematically. It was fun to watch.

I'd rather have a consistent theme through a story that works most of the time and is silly a little bit (hat turning) than the writers stay comfortble and not even attempt it. Exploring the effect confidence has on one's actions was interesting.

The sexual tension between Tom and Ivana's character is gone, and wasn't that where they left us after episode two? Why would she date a guy like the director? I guess we'll learn all about her shallowness in future eps.

The subplot with the boyfriend who doesn't like sports was starting to get annoying, but the actors saved it. It was sweet, maybe a little scaccharine, but this ain't a serious show like Battlestar Galactica.

The show has potential, and it's fun. The thematic / character struggles are pretty normal for a show after it's third episode.

I know this is a stupid question, so please no slams. Who played the director. He looked so familiar, but I just couldn't place him.

 

[TonyD]

that question looks familiar.
nicky katt who was also on boston public.

 

[Marty M]

Its like de javu, all over again. Thanks for the info, Tony. I got so flustered about posing the question on the wrong thread that I just now noticed you gave me the answer in the other thread. He looks a lot different than he did on that show.

 

[Patrick Sun]

Things don't look good for the Love Monkey as CBS is looking to put "The Unit" on after NCIS and then followed by The Amazing Race in the 10-spot on Tuesday nights in March. Grr...

 

[Mikel_Cooperman]

Yeah, I read it was cancelled.
Bummer.

 

[Sheldon C]

It's rare to see a 1 hour show succeed that isn't about crime or a hospital. Too bad.

 

[Marty M]

That really sucks, big time. CBS has hardly given this show a chance.

 

[Lee Jamilkowski]

I watched my first episode of this (Wednesday's episode) and - I enjoyed it greatly. Go figure that the next day, it's starts to get sucked into the cancellation black hole.

 

[Mark_B]

Too bad. I enjoyed the show. Probably the reason the ratings were so bad is everyone was sick of the promotions for it before it even started. I don't recall having seen such endless promos for a show. They must have lasted 2 months. It always bugs me too when a network promotes a show as a "breakout hit" and it has only aired once. Or they say it is the highest rated "new" comedy. The fail to mention that this is because it is the only comedy.

 

[Carlo_M]

As a big "F-You" to CBS, I'm taking their channel off of my TV's auto-programmed lineup.

Yeah, yeah, I'm not a Nielsen household so this will do exactly squat, but screw em for cancelling what IMO was one of the better shows to come out on their channel.

Great, CBS, give me more CSI:[YOUR CITY HERE] and NCSI, I mean NCIS. :rolleyes
