 Holabird AdvocateProviding all the news we see fit to print since 2002!Tuesday, September 27, 2005 VOL IV Issue 9R Publisher Gets His Miracle Holabird Advocate Publisher, Jerry Hinkle, said that only a miracle could get him to the Nickel Creek Show to see The Ditty Bops. His good friend Oddjob told him that the show may not be quite sold out yet. He advised Jerry to check the week of the show for released tickets through Ticketmaster, and that it will help to recheck frequently, because more tickets are usually released as the show date approaches. It's not much, but it is a hope. Party Time For Shorty It is fortunate for Kaitlin "Shorty" Pothast that her 12th birthday falls on a Tuesday. That just happens to be "Kids Night" at the local Pizza Hut. Kaitlin's mother, Noel Pothast has organized a party there for her youngest daughter. Each kid gets to eat free for each adult present. It is for this reason that Jerry Hinkle was invited, but he didn't go because he wanted to see the season premiere of "Boston Legal" (more about that later). Harold and Mary Hinkle did go. If anything of interest happens, they'll let us know. Hollyweird Happenings by Ethan Aniston Holabird Advocate Entertainment Editor Well, Demi Moore and her flavor of the month Ashton what's-his-name made it legal over the weekend. I'll admit that I a little late in reporting the marriage. I'll be all the more early in reporting the divorce, I promise. CBS reports dismal rating for "How I Met Your Mother". I hope they don't resort to cheap ratings stunts like having someone from "Buffy" or "Doogie" do a guest shot. It's a good show once you get past the title. There's a definite "Wonder Years" feel to the show. Not such a bad premise either. The pace of the show is jerky, too fast on episode #1, too slow on #2. I'll give this one 4 episodes before I make a final judgment. I'm gonna pass on "The Amazing Race". The kids on the previews should be seen and not heard. The boy who says he's cute? Not so! The girl who says, "I may be small, but I'm not Shtupid!"? To her I say, "Oh yesh you are". Looks like it's gonna be President Geena Davis for me on Tuesday night from now on. The problem with "Boston Legal" by Jerry Hinkle, Holabird Advocate Publisher It took me a while to warm up to "The Practice". The fact that it was on right after "Alias" was the only reason I watched it at all. It kinda grew on me though. Then, during the last season they fired all the hot babes. HUH? No more D.A. Helen, more Lindsey, and worst of all, no more Juicy Ms. Lucy. What we ha in their place was this Spader dude and guest star Sharon Stone. But, you know, James Spader made the show watchable, not as good as before, but watchable. I'd go so far as to say he was the only reason to watch the show. He had this "J.R. Ewing" quality that was tangible. A man we all love to hate. So "The Practice" went out, then in it's place came "Boston Legal". This show was different from "The Practice". It was actually good. I loved to see how each of the cases unfolded. I even loved to see how many times Shatner would say "Denny Crane" in an episode. It was a fun little show. Then what happened? Schmitt happened! Candice Bergen's portrayal of Shirley Schmitt was unnecessary, brought nothing to the show, and yet she is here. Why is that? Now we have Heather Lockenload coming out of door number two. What's next? Leonard Nimoy as the District Attorney? Enough stunt casting! Bring back the good writing. And while your at it, ABC get Sally Heep back on the show after "Surface" is cancelled. Show us why Denny Crane has never lost a case, and why I even care.
