Shark sucks. Like, to infinity and beyond. I was all ready to write it off as a lame ripoff of lame House only with lame lawyers, and then BILLY CAMPBELL showed up and I was like OMGJORDANILOVEYOU only then he turned out to be this incredibly horrifying serial killer (and seriously dudes, a serial killer has to be pretty horrifying before I'm horrified) and he didn't be at all awesome, he was just frightening and not in a good or awesome way AT ALL and it sucked.

Oh, and did I mention, it's pretty much House but with lawyers? Like Shark is House, and Blonde Boss is Cuddy, and Tiny Latino Dude is Cameron, and Whitey McWhiteBoy is Chase, and Bitchy Blonde is Bitchy Blonde (from the later seasons, I don't know her name because I lost interest during that storyline with the mean police dude that went on for like a thousand episodes) and Sasspirella is what would happen if you combined Foreman and Cameron into one person and Investigator Tall is Foreman and it's fucking lame, dudes. Also, Shark's real name isn't Shark, it's Stark, and every time someone uses it I keep hoping that he'll don a blinged-out flying suit and zoom away to fight some terrorists or whatever, but he doesn't because Shark is made from fail.

Seriously, dudes. What a waste of perfectly good Jordanbeard.

Anyway, now I am watching Queen of Swords and it's epic - Methos is this wee snarky doctor who steals apples and is snarky, and Kronos is this mean Colonel dude who steals all the peasants gold and is really snide about everything in a really English villain type way, only he has this random Spanish accent that comes and goes at random. There's a lame girl Zorro who is lame but whatever, this is really about Kronos stealin' gold and meening on people and Methos being snarky. Go watch!

Billy Campbell -- GUH! Love that man. Even when playing an evil serial killer on a crappy show, he still brings the sex.

Oh, Queen of Swords. It was so wonderfully, horribly cheesy good. I had to tell myself that it was "Methos" the whole time just to survive the show. Just one of Methos' many lives and wacky adventures.

Butbutbut Jordan! As if Jordan would get caught in such a faily Houselike trap. He would just use his beardpowers to escape. Or, you know, get Tess to do it for him. Stupid Shark.

Hee, I am so wrongly in love with it. I just watched that one where there's this mean assassin dude trying to kill Doctor Methos and Kronos trades Doctor Methos for the Queen of Swords but then it was okay because he was only trickin' the dude and then Doctor Methos is all grouchy about being traded but then Kronos arrows the dude anyway so it's okay but then the Queen of Swords nicks off with their horses and then they have to walk back to town and Kronos says something about how he's an awesome colonel or something and Doctor Methos is just like, STFU KRONOS SRSLY I AM SO PISSED ROGHT NOW! and it's totally awesome.

I've been reading your entries and had to see where you are. Some of the shows you are talking about have already been cancelled in the US. Shark, I think made it seven weeks before it was axed. I hadn't thought about it being a lawyerly House...but your right.

I'm in the UK and we're generally a couple of weeks behind the US even with Sky, but in my case I don't actually own a TV antenna so everything I watch is either out on DVD or downloaded and pimped to me by friends with higher bandwidth allowances than me. So I'm pretty much always six months to a year behind everyone else.

Totally not suprised Shark got cut, though - when even Billy Campbell cannotsave you, truly, you have failed in life.
