Comments on: Quickie Review: Royal Pains http://www.brainhandles.com/television/quickie-review-royal-pains Whatever's tugging at my brain handles Tue, 27 Dec 2011 19:46:46 +0000 hourly 1 By: Winnie http://www.brainhandles.com/television/quickie-review-royal-pains/comment-page-1#comment-8698 Winnie Wed, 10 Jun 2009 22:55:59 +0000 http://www.brainhandles.com/?p=2134#comment-8698 My guy told me about "Royal Pains" and then I finally started catching promos a few weeks ago, so we sat down to watch it. It was fun to watch, but I wasn't blown away by any means. I was excited that "the guy from 'Road Trip'" got more work! Then I saw the actor playing the main character/Doctor when Red turned on "What Women Want" the next day - small world... It's nice to know you're checking it out, because I don't know anyone else who watches it. My favorite USA show = "Psych" (not saying it's the best - it's just my favorite).

Granted, it had some flaws (the beginning took too long, could’ve been condensed) but for a first run, I think it’s promising. I like the ‘lightness’ of this show. With so much reality tv, it’s good to have a show that is just sort of a drama/comedy fantasy and can push a storyline across without having to force laugh out loud physical comedy moments or ultra serious drama. I also loved that they used the song “Ain’t No Love in the Club” by Wylde Bunch when Hank and Evan arrive at Boris’ castle - it’s my current favorite dance track and I was pleasantly surprised to hear it.

USA will play "Burn Notice" over and over and over again. When we were watching that premiere and Brian Van Holt showed up, I pointed to him and said "that's Butchie from 'John from Cincinnatti'." She promptly got up and left. I won't say much about the plot, but it feels like they're trying to get edgier. Don't worry. USA will play "Burn Notice" over and over and over again.

I was upset because it threw off my primitive Comcast DVRs ability to record the Burn Notice second run since it was a 12:15-1:15 deal. (I couldn't record the first run since I can only record one show at a time and my system was occupied by my room mates love of Comedy Centrals crap. Tosh.0 was pretty terrible, in case you didn't guess.)
