mmmm, Tim Riggins is pretty.

Wait, what?

Oh, you have to wait until January? But you're reminding me of the movie I can't see until May?

Cry me a river!

Got a weird "Big Fish" vibe from that. So which one is Gambit? I know I should watch the show but let's be serious, I played football. I have no interest in locker room politics. Just show me the mutant.

WTFityF?

It just took me like 3 full minutes to decipher this.

I haven't actually watched this show at all, although I have been assured repeatedly that I should, and eventually I will. But this ad makes it look like some kind of Gossip Girls-esque kind of thing, and I feel like that's not the reaction they're going for. Or is it?

OK, Now I really do NOT want to ever watch this.

I am pretty sure that is a Bright eyes cover of the Daniel Johnston song.

Well, the promo doesn't make me less excited about watching the show, so maybe that's good? I agree, there was a kind of 'Big Fish' vibe to it. I kind of sort of almost liked it. Ah, who am I kidding....the promos could show Riggins on the can and I'd still get excited about the new season.

Both the pilot and the finale. But for some reason I thought it was Bright Eyes.

Rigginnnnnnnnnnnnnnsssssssssssss!!!!!!!

Oh, and if Riggins is Jesus, maybe he can fix the Coach's car in the promo.

You know, Rubble44, you make an excellent point. Car maintenance has to be easier than backwards meteorological events.

Maybe it was Riggins who poured sugar in the gas tank in the first place. It would be the kind of thing that Riggins would do because it amused him that nanosecond. Then he would just lumber off to be sexy in another direction. "Oh, what? I was just....drinking beer and pouring orange juice on my fruit loops. Oh! Hey, can you spot me some gas money? You clearly won't need it..."

Again, I reiterate:

I know Zach Gilford. I didn't know I knew him until like a week ago, at which point I was reminded that he assistant directed a high school play I was in years back.

Why am I the only one excited about this?

There are so many things wrong with this! I get that they need to attract viewers. But come the eff on. First of all Tyra would never wear her hair like that. And how is Riggins a Jesus-like figure? Because he's a wino?

Dude. I hate that fucking song. They used it twice in the first season, in two different episodes. It really fucking bothers me. WTF. RAH.

Because it was a high school play?

I was crew on a play with John Candy's kids in high school, you don't see me running up and down the John Candy thread flailing for people to take notice.

Except for right there, where I accidentally just did. Whatever. No one cares about tangential relationships to stars unless you can use it to find out why and how this asinine ad got produced. Cause I'm a fan of overly stylized ads for shows. I just like when they bear some passing relationship with the actual content of the show. So unless I missed something, and Saracen is gonna start making touchdowns with the power of his mind, or some such, I would like to know how FNL got transplanted to Pushing Daisies. In any event, I'm gonna wander down to the Pie Hole and shut my.
