(S01E01) After posting my early look at this new NBC procedural crime drama, reading your comments, and thinking about Charlie Crews in general, I have come to the belief that Life may actually have a chance this season. Not because of the crimes he and Detective Dani Reese solve -- hey, a murder is a murder is a murder. Not because of Charlie's mix of innocence and quirkiness. I think what is going to keep people tuning into the program is the whole sub-plot of the series: trying to find out who the heck framed Charlie for the murder of three people.
Who wants to be a soap star? Well, apparently quite a few people. Casting auditions for the third season of SoapNet's I Wanna Be A Soap Star have been underway in major cities like New York and Chicago, and people from all walks of life have been trying out for the series, the winner of which will be given a thirteen-week contract to appear on the popular ABC soap opera One Life To Live. Despite this being the third season, I hadn't even heard of this show until recently. Of course, I'm also not an avid soap opera watcher, so it's not as if a show like this would have been on my radar, anyway. If any of you have seen it, I'd love to hear your take on it. Is it a worthy "guilty pleasure" or something I should avoid? The new season begins this Thursday at 11 p.m. EST.
