| I forgot to add, his characters name is Chance Harper, and he is a
freelance photographer....there is a small diner that he frequents
and the waitress character is played by Frances Farmer (Clint Eastwoods
girlfriend)

Strange ... the movie "No Man's Land" was also on Friday at 8PM.
[D.B. Sweeney and Charlie Sheen]
|
| 384.3 | This show has a chance to be successful | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | I'll make a good Gordon, Gordon | Mon Sep 18 1995 11:36 | 20 |
| I also enjoyed this show. I've been a fan of Sweeney's for a long time
(his portrayal of Shoeless Joe Jackson in "Eight Men Out" was
spectacular), and he doesn't disappoint here. However, the series
depends less on him than it does on the writers, who I feel must decide
shortly if this show is to be a pure fantasy or have some basis in
reality. There is the possibility of turning this from the believable
to the fantastic. Seems to me it will be much more difficult to keep
the writing believable. Hope they don't succumb and choose the easy
path.
I also liked the shrink and how she worked with Chance. Hope she
continues to be a part of the show.
Chance's boss, whose name I can't remember, was the title character in
the classic movie "Cherry 2000", that starred Melanie Griffith.

PS - Frances Fisher is Clint's ex. According to something I read over
the weekend, they broke up last November.

| I liked this one a lot also. I will watch it.
Good spooky Friday line-up... "Strange Luck", "The X-Files", "Nowhere Man"
(7, 8, and 9pm respectively) on Fox 21 in Colorado Springs.

I watched the second Strange Luck and was a little more than
dissappointed......it was predictable..and Thats a killer...
I also liked the Shrink..she was good and I liked the segment
in the 1st one that he was on the plane as he is now, comforting
himself as a boy
Speaking of line ups- Strange Luck, X-Files and American Gothic (on
channel 4) THIS scared me ...anyone see it? I'll start a note if
there isn't one.

| 384.6 | Not a compelling episode | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | Barros > Douglas | Mon Sep 25 1995 15:01 | 6 |
| I too was disappointed in the second episode. Is this a case of the
pilot being the best they could do and the rest of the shows not able
to match its level of success? Since I like D.B. Sweeney, I'll give it
two more weeks.

| 384.10 | Two out of three ain't bad | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | Barros > Douglas | Wed Oct 04 1995 11:29 | 4 |
| Third episode was back to the spirit of the first. The show gets a
reprieve from me!

It was better b u t it still wasn't as good as the 1st one.
I like D.B. also but this show is turning into a...yawn...dud for me!

| Did anyone see the latest? Chance's good & bad luck transfers
over to the Waitress after a pregnant customer, comes into the
diner ready to deliver and her and Chance end up delivering
the baby in the Diner, then after that the story goes on to
include a potatoe that looks like Elvis, and a young girl that the
waitress knows being in a gang that shot and killed a young kid
right infront of Angie(waitress...is that her name?) so now the
gang is after the her...there was a little kissing
between Chance and the Waitress....This show has turned into a
big D U D..... I really like DB Sweeney but...

I believe it's this show that Mark Mothersbaugh [Devo] does the
music for.
|
| 384.14 | A must-see for me now | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | UMass knocks off #1 - again! | Mon Dec 04 1995 15:25 | 8 |
| Spectacular episode Friday. This show continues to get solid scripts,
and a tremendous acting job by D.B. Sweeney. I like the way the show
balances itself between the "no way that could happen" and the "can
this show get any more boring" points of view. The last several
scripts have been entertaining, witty, and almost believable, a tough
combination to get correct.

| Any idea what was meant/implied at the end, where Chance promised to come
back and tell them how it turned out, and the lady said "You'd better" under
her breath and all the neighbors gathered on camera in an ominous way???
|
| 384.16 | Strange Dud | WMOIS::TARDUGNO | | Mon Jan 08 1996 14:46 | 9 |
| Anyone see the Jan 5th episode....It was ok until the Healer
was trying to convince Chance or US that He was the healer of
the blind man and subsequently his own mother...but we knew better
anyhow The mother realy seemed like she couldn't act at ALL....
thats when I thought again ..this show really is going nowhere.man...
this week Jan 12th is also going to be a repeat Why repeats already?
If DB Sweeney was not in this I wouldn't bother with this DUD
anymore
|
| 384.17 | Friday night is by far best night of TV | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | The truth - Syracuse s*cks! | Tue Jan 09 1996 11:28 | 10 |
| I was a bit disappointed with the Jan. 5 show also, but I certainly
don't think it's a dud at all. This was the first of their shows I've
seen that wasn't top quality, and the only reason I didn't enjoy it as
much was that it was way too predictable, especially the side plot with
Chance's parents.
Overall, this is an excellent lead-in to X-Files and a show definitely
worth watching.

I just read this is being cancelled/replaced with Sliders
Sliders is coming back oh Lord help us all I like DB but
they could have done better with Strange Luck...and Now this
proves it....its getting the hook

| 384.19 | Guss I won't have to tape "Due South any more | TNPUBS::NAZZARO | UMass will run the table - 38-0! | Mon Feb 19 1996 16:03 | 6 |
| ARGH!!!! Another very good show with style, class, and intelligence
gets the axe. I wish the network bigwigs would learn that good shows
that require the audience to think a little bit usuall take time to
find that audience.

| 384.20 | disgusted | WMOIS::TARDUGNO | | Sun Mar 03 1996 12:57 | 7 |
| Out of habit, I sat down at 8:00 and actually watched off and on
Sliders....what a DOG...it was then, and is now, PLUS they are
showing repeats!! They must think we are total IDIOTS....
I want Strange Luck back ..like right now!
SO now we are back to only 1 good show X files...no more
American Gothic or Strange Luck and I for one am disgusted...
I'm heading for the video store or the Cinema.
