Sweet satisfaction! 16-year-old Frank Agnello was busted on drug charges earlier this month. Agnello starred in the reality series “Growing Up Gotti” along with his mother and brothers. Frankie had pot, Oxycontin and Morphine in his car when police pulled him over for failing to stop at a stop sign. He was also driving without a licence. That kid always looked like trouble to me. Now we know he’s in the same pill poppin’ league as Rush Limbaugh.
Month: November 2006 (Page 3 of 20)
My wife and I took a bus tour of Europe this summer, and while we were there we met an Australian that loved to throw out an Andrew Dice Clay “OH!” anytime something major happened – a punch line to a joke, some sort of weird event…anything, really. It was addictive, and needless to say, we brought it home with us.
I told you that story to tell you this one…
When Agent Evil shot Mahone and said – “The President ruined your life and she ruined mine. If you want to take the bitch down, you’ve got your inside man. But it’s got to be RIGHT NOW!” – it was definitely an “OH!” moment in the Paulsen household.
What a twist! I knew the brothers weren’t going to die, but I figured the two agents would shoot each other out of paranoia. And I didn’t think that would even happen until the “second” season started. I was not expecting Agent Eisen (thanks for the nickname idea, Mr. Medsker) to turn the tables on the powers-that-be and join Michael in his quest to exonerate Lincoln. After all my bitching about the “Silence of the Lambs” switcheroos, the writers really got the drop on me, and they deserve a ton of credit.
In other news, Sucre is wandering the Mexican desert, Bellick’s stuck in a cell with a rapist, and T-Bag reunited with his ex, while Sarah has (sort of) cut her hair, dumped her cell and gone all rogue on us. I don’t know how the Brothers McMullen are going to locate her without her phone, but Michael (or Agent Eisen) will surely think of something.
I can’t wait to see Michael, Lincoln and Eisen in a three-way conversation about taking down the President. That should make for great television.
OH!
Well, not yet…but the plucky survivors of that 52-hour hostage ordeal are being subjected to yet another trauma: a hiatus of indeterminate length.
Originally scheduled to air this Wednesday night as usual, the ratings-challenged serial drama has been bumped by a special episode of “20/20”…apparently because the executives at ABC are looking to raise the median age of their average viewer by a good decade or so.
Wednesday November 29 marks the last night of the current sweeps period; thus, the last-minute replacement suggests a vote of “no confidence” in Scott Wolf and his dimples by ABC management. However, the network insists the program will return “later in the season.”
If it doesn’t, does this mean the three unwatched episodes sitting in my DVR queue will officially become collector’s items? And will we ever get to find out exactly what that lovable loser Egan Foote-with-an-e did to become a hero?
Pop quiz: Whom would you cast as Hurley’s father on “Lost?”
If you said, “Someone who’s the right age, Hispanic, and has a constant case of the munchies,” you’d be right in line with the producers’ way of thinking…as that’s exactly who has won the role.
Personally, much as I have a soft spot for the actor in question, this one feels like a stretch to me…but what do you think? Any alternative suggestions?
And for the record, no voting for Ricardo “Khan” Montalban. He is simultaneously too old, too tall, and too skinny for this role. Besides, we are still hoping he will show up in that other J.J. Abrams project, complete with massive pec-plate, and thus be much too busy to appear in a piddly little network TV show.
Howie Mandel’s a man of many credits, known to a surprisingly wide variety of people, be it for his stand-up comedy, his dramatic work, his cartoon voices, or his game-show hosting abilities. Now, he’s taking on the mantle of Christmas special narrator, for “The Great American Christmas,” premiering this week on the USA Network. We had a couple of minutes to speak with Howie as well as the special’s producer, Gary Auerbach, about the upcoming show, as well as other things on Howie’s resume…
Bullz-Eye: Hi, guys.
Gary Auerbach: Hi, Will.
Howie Mandel: Hi, Will. (Into the microphone) This is Howie, saying, “Hi, Will.”
BE: Thank you. That’ll make my transcription a lot easier.
HM: (Chuckles) Okay.
BE: So, Howie, narrating a Christmas special…I think that officially makes you mainstream, doesn’t it?
