Slow day here, so I checked around to see what’s coming up on the tube. It turns out it was very, very good news. Well, half good news. Let’s watch some trailers!

Million Dollar Listing

The bad boys of real estate are back! With new, Caesar complex blood!

I can be the nice boy or a shark! And I can cross my eyes while I talk to you and pretend I’m seeing clearly. And I resemble Squiggy with a really aggressive waxer. I think you’re gonna like me.

Worried that there might not be any crossover opportunities with this one? Well, don’t.

Seriously? A shirt? What’s the point? No one’s buying if you’re showing up like that.

This season, these real estate queens’ll do anything to sell the dream! Including speaking Jew in full Rick Moranis garb:

Chhhallah, yo.

That guy slid downhill fast, eh? I didn’t even recognize him until he did something douchey. Yoga can be a really strong a hole indicator.

Please stop doing that.

And cross eyed guy is gonna sleep with Madison’s assistant! Which leads to my favorite line of the trailer: “Justht cuth I’m gay doethn’th meanth I can’th throwth dowth!” Good lord woman, you even lisped on “throw” and there’s no s in it. Please just don’t talk. And shave your head so I can stop hating you for your good genes.

I’m trying to lookth youth in the eye buth they won’t thtay thtill.

That guy makes Barney Frank sound like Hulk Hogan on a work day. This show turns me insane…ly happy. Gayness, bitchiness, and giant housiness. In.

Million Dollar Listing premieres Feb 3 on Bravo and will be recapped here by SwellMel!

Being Human

New Original Series! Except not new. Or original. One out of three’s not bad. It is, in fact, a series.

 



Being Human is another Brit transplant. I heard so many things about that one that I downloaded the first season. In case you haven’t heard, this show is about a vampire, a werewolf, and a ghost all living together. In the original pilot, the ghost was played by this weirdo mousy girl. When it was picked up (overseas, not this version), the ghost was played by a pouty model chick. NO THANKS! Poor little mousy girl, long distance hugs to ya. Point is, ew.

America is gonna take the shallow quotient up a notch, cuz that’s how we roll. Now, ALL of them are played by gorgeous models. Not that consistency is a bad thing, necessarily. And before you guys even try to argue that the werewolf isn’t a gorgeous model, he looks just like Noah Wyle. Who wasn’t a model. But he was a very cute doctor, which is just as attractive.

We’ve had a LOT of supernatural lately, so this is gonna really have to be great to catch fire. The previews aren’t doing much for it. Ghost Chick tells us that these roomies are like totally going through what all of us go through. Addiction! The vampire wants the blood of hot bimbos, the werewolf is addicted to rage, and the ghost chick is addicted to whining and pouting. Being different! Being loved! Being HUMAN! That sounds so sweet. And lame. Bring back Caprica.

Being Human premieres Mon, Jan 17 on SyFy

    Did anyone else notice Mauricio from RHOBH in some of the million dollar listing promos? I doubt he is a main character, but it’s always fun to see a little bravo crossover.

    @HeregoHellCome: Mauricio works for the same company (Hilton & Hyland) as the former Millionaire Listing cast member, Chad. I saw it on the AbsurdtoSublime website. It seems all of Bravo shows are somewhat related…they never want to cast their line too far when fishing for new blood. They’ll hire one guy (Chad), then hire his colleague (Mauricio), then hire the colleague’s wife(Kyle). I wouldn’t be surprised to hear that Kyle and Mauricio were set up by Patti Stanger and that Tom Colicchio catered their wedding.

    As a Brit transplant myself, and after the disastrous imitations of Top Gear and Skins (i mean good lawd, change the PLOTS!), i will be a harsh critic for Being Human. At least X Factor shouldnt be a disappointment…hmm…

    I like the US Top Gear. For one, no Jeremy Clarkson and for two, Tanner Foust. He actually has professional driving experience as a rally driver and stuntman.

    The format itself translates to US audiences and the hosts work well enough together. Not sure about Rutledge, but his background is as a journalist covering motorsports. I’m pretty sure there were some awkward patches in the first six episodes of the UK version, too.

    If you don’t look for Jeremy, James and Richard and watch it as its own show, it did well enough, and can get better as the cast and crew become a team.

    But, the UK Being Human is pretty awful. Wonderfully, watchably awful, but no great shakes. So the US one doesn’t have a high bar to pass.
