Hey, ABC - Go f**k Yourself!

Alyssa Milano isn’t a great actress. But she was serviceable on “Charmed” and cute and amusing enough on her recent “My Name is Earl” stint. More importantly, she’s a looker (fuck the Pajibette takeover — it’s full steam misogyny ahead!). One of the few celebrities I’ve seen in person that I was actually happy about seeing (if only I were a baseball pitcher). So she would’ve been a welcome addition to the Peacock’s midseason. But ABC has decided to kill her sitcom “Single with Parents.”

The rumors are that this doesn’t have anything to do with Alyssa and is about the fact that there was some serious strife between the show’s producers. Too bad, as the show, focusing on Milano’s character dealing with her troubling family, had some good talent on it, including Beau Bridges and Annie Potts.

This may explain, in part, why ABC has been in recent talks to possibly pick up Fox’s “King of the Hill” scraps, possibly bringing the just-canceled show back next fall. But it won’t have Alyssa Milano to ogle, so it’s just not the same.

Ahahahaah fuck off Alyssa Milano.

Sorry but I hate everything even remotely associated to 'Charmed'.

King of the Hill! YES! I love that show!

dude, I love Alyssa Milano, but I really can't be sad when it involves King of the Hill coming back.

Yeah, I'm with Veins and figgy. Long live dang ol' King of the Hill, man.

look up the band Sodium on Myspace. The first song in their player is called "Alyssa Milano", featuring the kick ass lyric "she shimmers in the sun having the fun in the halo of Judith Light"

Oh fuck King of the Hill. Fuck it right in its ear. I refuse to watch that as log as Peggy's on it and functional. Peggy is the worst fucking bitch I have ever had the extreme displeasure of knowing the existence of. The episode where she fell out of a plane? Yeah, I threw a party. I was happy and whistling and smiling at birds and deer were walking up to me and eating out of my hand...

Then I saw her alive, and immediately burned down that forest in retribution. Fucking lying animals! Unfortunately, it got a little out of hand, I panicked and ran away, and now I'm no longer allowed back to that guy's greenhouse. Shame, too, cuz his daughter was smoking. She reminded me a little of Alyssa Milano...

That picture looks like Mariska Hargitay.

Either way, I'd go lez for the afternoon.

This bit of news makes me happy in one place and sad in another.

My undersatnding is "King of the Hill" will be on next year. Beacuase of how long it take sto produce, next year's season was already ordered. It will be the last.

Alyssa Milano is most definitely a looker. She's one of my girl crushes. Her and Monica Bellucci. Aww yeah.

But I wouldn't trust her to save my life during a gladiatorial Shakespearean acting contest. The ones where the stage weapons are real. Come on, you know the ones I mean.

... *sigh* ...

Sadly, King of the Hill has been inside the shark for about five seasons, Judge's heart is not in it, character development stalled (and yes it ID have character continuity in the beginning). I don't know why:

1. They killed Cotton and just plain forgot his kid and wife.
2. They allowed Joseph's character to mature physically and didn't do the same with Connie, Bobby, or any of the other kids for that matter.
3.They Luanne went nowhere with her studies and aspirations
4.Lucky...

*sigh*

The Peacock network is NBC.

Shadows I hate to say it but you're right. Peggy sucks. I try to ignore every episode she's in but...then she always gets her comeuppance and it cracks me up and I keep watching.

And ever since someone compared Sarah Palin to Peggy....comedy gold!

I also tend not to like the Hank-heavy episodes so much. I watch because all the supporting characters are so freakin' awesome.

Favorite King of the Hill lines:

1. "Close the damn door! Can't you see that I am knitting?"

2. "Well whoop-dee-doo! I am the smartest hillbilly in Hillbilly Town."

3. "More nutmeg!"

4. "There's some milk in the fridge about to go bad. And there it goes."

5. "I'm sorry that your avocados are hard. Life is hard. But you cannot make authentic guacamole out of lima beans and Ritz crackers."

Thought that was photo was of Joan Jett for a split-second until I read the first sentence and did a double take...

Made sense at the time 'cause I wouldn't think twice about her telling ABC (or anyone else for that matter) to go fuck themselves.

I need to create an altar for King of the Hill, it was an awesome show and Dale Gribble was HILARIOUS! His conspiracy theories often made me laugh until I cried. Also, the episode when Hank starts eating free range beef from the health food store is AWESOME! The whole family decides that eating organic is so much better than eating food from the huge supermarket nearby. That's probably one of the best episodes EVER!

Alyssa wasn't so much "serviceable" on Charmed as "serviced." As in "repeatedly." As in, "You're a WHORE, Phoebe."

Sorry. Still bitter about how my serviceable little "Buffy Lite" horror/fantasy show about modern-day witches turned into absolute shit after Shannen Doherty was fired and the show's focus turned into "all Alyssa all the time."

Suck it, Brad Kern.
