Last Night's TV: I Hope We Can Get Married Someday

...No I don't. I know this is the Internet and things and I can hop into my online time machine and forget I ever recommended anything Corey-related, but I don't play it like that. Baby. You know I don't.

In other words, The Two Coreys was paaainful. Even for me. Not 'Omigod this is so bad I'm going to force everyone I know to get drunk and watch it with me every week' bad, but 'Oh lordy they keep adding zingy sound effects to every scene even the one that's got Haim crying about his druggie past hey I think I hear a grip feeding him his lines' bad. The crying was sort of sad, but I couldn't help but feel that it was just something he learned on the set of Lucas. Actually, most of what he and Feldman said sounded as if it was left over from a failed TV pilot circa 1991. But even this odd inability to act naturally in front of the camera, this pathetic warning to today's child stars and stage parents, isn't enough to make the show compelling.

The worst part is both Haim and the director (assuming he's not a straw man) are Canadian, so I think we may all be funding it in some way through our tax dollars.
