Episode Recap: "Joyce & Sharon Monroe" | Nip/Tuck | 11/7/2007
Once again, seeing Christian and Sean in their new Hollywood surroundings hit home for me. Our TV Guide corporate offices are directly across the street from Grauman's Chinese Theatre, so we see those celebrity look-alike characters every day. As soon as I saw Fat Elvis appear in this episode, I said out loud: "Yes! Fat Elvis!" Coincidental side note: I shared an elevator with Fat Elvis this morning — I swear (but the one used in the show was a different one, played by actor James Price). So having McNamara/Troy treat dueling Marilyn Monroes? Genius. I would've died if it were dueling Spider-mans because we've got them here on Hollywood Blvd., one much more in shape than the other. And yes, Chewbacca is there, too. Susan Griffiths and Merilee Brasch were fabulous as Joyce and Sharon, respectively. But I'd like to point out that they should've switched roles since I thought Susan as Joyce played the better Marilyn, even though they mentioned several times that Sharon was... read more
Episode Recap: "Carly Summers" | Nip/Tuck | 10/31/2007
Why hello, strangers. It's been ages since I've blogged about this show (10.5 months, to be exact). I'm hoping that most of you will agree that the Season 5 premiere was well worth the wait, especially after all the hype and advance publicity (awesome job, by the way, FX). After four seasons in Miami, it was a welcome change of pace seeing our favorite nippers and tuckers start anew in our country's plastic-surgery capital, Los Angeles. As we expected, Christian (Julian McMahon) and Sean (Dylan Walsh) started out as small fish in an extremely large pond once they hit L.A., or to be exact, Beverly Hills. It was crickets and tumbleweeds for McNamara/Troy's new Rodeo Drive offices until Fiona McNeil came along. One of the things that helps you make it here in Hollywood is a powerful publicist, so meeting Fiona in that nightclub was excellent timing. Right away, I have to point out the fabulous casting of Lauren Hutton as Fiona. Lauren is one of the few actresses over 60 in this town... read more
Nip/Tuck Preview: Swimming Pools and Movie Stars | TV Guide Interviews & Features | 10/30/2007
Lucy and Ricky did it. So did Laverne and Shirley. Now Drs. Sean McNamara and Christian Troy are moving to greater Los Angeles ? specifically, Beverly Hills ? just in time for Nip/Tuck's Season 5 premiere tonight at 10 pm/ET on FX. While cynics might cry that a series changing locales for its fifth season is a stunt, it actually makes perfect sense for the firm of McNamara/Troy to relocate to the plastic-surgery capital of the world. "It was smart that Ryan [Murphy, Nip/Tuck's creator] ... read more

In the Works: Brad Pitt Is Feeling Trans-sexy, and More | Today's News: Our Take | 8/22/2007
FX has greenlit the pilot for 4 Oz., a drama cocreated by Nip/Tuck's Ryan Murphy and featuring Brad Pitt as an executive producer, and concerning a family man who realizes he is a transsexual and embraces it. Since the original pitch, the as-yet-uncast lead character has been changed (as it were) from a sportswriter to a gynecologist.... Also says Variety, A&E has signed off on a pair of pilots: The Beast, about an FBI vet mentoring a young partner, and The Cleaner, based on the true story of a former addict turned interventionist.... Lifetime is adapting Kim Edwards' The Memory Keeper's Daughter as a TV-movie. read more
