A few weeks ago, I made it well-known that dislike the idea of celebrities who paste rat pubes to their face in order to demonstrate to every gullible network executive that he brings an edge that is more authentic than the person who intereviewed with a tribal arm band tattoo. The actor was Eric Balfour, and his new show is called Conviction. Now this is old news, but the pilot episode of the series is available as a free download on the iTunes Music Store. I downloaded the show and it's sort of like a rehash of last year's Trial By Jury spinoff, but instead of dealing with grizzled veterans of the DA's office, we get a taste of life of the young DAs trying to make a name for themselves. I am not sure how this is going to mesh with Las Vegas now that it is on Friday's but I guess people need something to do now that there aren't any Dancing With the Stars results shows taking up space on the dial. So why do I bother telling you old news about a show that I don't find that interesting? Well, I do think that making the pilot available for downloading is a great idea, and if more networks experiment with innovative ways to make their programming available to the viewers, I think it is good for all of us. So, download away. I can't promise you'll enjoy, but it is free!
