Watched the Black Donnellys last night. I still like this show very much, but I am starting to have some problems with it. First - Tommy has a speech impediment that bugs me. Is he trying to do some kind of accent? Maybe it's OK - I'm not sure yet. Second - the over-protective Mom is really taking it over the top. A little too much at once. And as for the youngest brother, Sean, the whole bit about him being ashamed of his beat up face was kind of stupid. If he is going to continue to be a bit part, they should just send him back out to flirt with the ladies. If they are going to develop him as much as his brothers, then they need to get on with it!
Thoughts?
Anyone catch Deal or No Deal last night? I saw the last 10 minutes, and I finally figured out why the contestant was dressed the way she was. At first I just thought that is the outfit she chose for that day. Sort of like how people dress up for the American Idol auditions just so they can get on TV.

DOND was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. The show itsself was fine and as always kind of a let down, but those two sisters... we were still discussing this morning. The shorts that they have to wear, the hat, the shirts. The whole thing. Working at a corn dog stand for 9 years. Oh my. Where do I begin. I loved it.
BD has some issues. I don't think the lead is strong enough to carry the show. The mother is a caricature. The little brother is annoying and flat. The writing in general sucks and the plot is so flimsy it is astonishing. They should pay more attention to The Riches. That show captured the HBO edge and did it well on prime time. The only character that is interesting at all is the middle brother who was run over by a car. The main character guy is just a forlorn fool with 2 different perplexed/introspective expressions. He was definitely good in that movie "100 Girls," which is on cable like 900 times a month.

But he is not good in this show.
