louise on the left (coast)

Sooooo, here we are:  S3, E7 (Which means, Season three, episode 7) BTW:  This is me.  Last summer.  On my third, and final, attempt to get through this book. Back to the show: This week, during the longer than usual winter casting session for Ward/Schaeffer's sequal we learn a few things that kind of jumped out at me, for reasons only The Shadow could possibly shed light on: First we learn that Eric's agent "threw out" Tony Roberts for the so-called "F. Murray Abraham"character, whatever that means. Then we learn that Donal Ward's mom went on a date with Tony Roberts "about 40 years ago."  I wonder why Eric can even afford a seasoned, Tony award-winning actor for this obviously low budget B-Film.  The bad thing about union actors is that they expect fair pay. Anyhow, this led Eric to share that his mom once went out with Henry Gibson. And then, something personal happened when I heard this:  I had this big old flashback to BUHS

Hollywood Casting Couch Schaeffer's Casting Couch I happen to love the opening credits to this show. To be honest, they really do crack me up.  The Tigger-like optimism. His voice over is kind of like a hack comedian skipping up to the front the stage and handing everyone in the front row their very own cream pie; Then bouncing back to center stage oblivious to any impending onslaught. Every week, the same thing. And every week, in these opening credits, he always sounds so promising. "I'm Eric Schaeffer , just your average, single, semi-famous filmmaker-actor, who wants to settle down.   "This season I'm staying in New York City and looking for my girl here. "I mean, if the love of my life isn't in my hometown, I don't know where's she gonna be? "I also need to make my new movie, 'They're Out of the Business' with my best friend, Donny.  It's the sequel to first film,'My Life's In Turnaround.'
