Not just from that era, unfortunately. I worked for a decade in the securities industry and you'd be hard-pressed to see much difference between Bruce and the dudes I used to work with. Bunch of weasels.

I find Bruce to be a very realistic portrayal. In fact, Usher had a song a couple of years ago where he says pretty much what barefoot refers to.

Well s**t! CRAP! I hope it gets released on DVD with any other episodes that have already been filmed.

When Laurie was standing in the doorway talking to her little brother and the girl next door, she looked so painfully skinny and bent over--kind of like she had a spine disease or something.

I remember seeing the actress in another show last year--"Standoff" (?) maybe--where she played a young girl in a cult and she looked much better. But she was wearing full clothes there--not the halter tops and shorts like she is on "Swingtown." I think it's the way she's playing Laurie that is bothering me.

I thought the Puzzlerama was cool, and more evidence of the stewardess' creative/artsy side. I like her character. I like most of the show, and the actors, but "Laurie"...
I hate that plot line!

And wasn't Laurie the name of Susan Dey's character in The Partridge Family? (Wasn't she anorexic?) That is who I thought this girl looked like when she was leaning against the door. Only a creepier version than Susan Dey's Laurie. In that scene I wondered if they cast her because they thought that 70s chicks were supposed to look like Laurie from The Partridge Family. (Personally, I looked like Marcia from The Brady Bunch!)

Why do they cancel the shows I love and leave so much crap on the air? Waah!

Just one of the reasons I was reluctant to get too attached to this show. It had "cancellation potential" written all over it. Not a knock on the show, of course, as it is a great show. Rather, because of the network it airs on.

Frikken great.

It is seeming like the more well written a show is, the faster it gets cancelled. The more dumb a show is, the faster it climbs into the prime spot!

SavhLaney · 07-28-2008, 05:23 PM

I hope they will air the full 13 episodes that were done.

Rockytop Chick · 07-28-2008, 06:10 PM

ridiculous!!

This is the third show I have gotten attached to in the past year that has been cancelled

Cane and Cashmere Mafia were the other 2
