So I just watched the pilot tonight. I'm nursing a bad hangover and thought it would be just the right thing to watch. I was right! I enjoyed the feature length pilot. It's the sort of TV you can watch without having to think too much. And it looks so 1980s rich people pretty. All the women wearing classic Nolan Miller. Morgan Fairchild played a gang raped hooker which I just didn't expect. At all! Shirley Jones as a divorcee who finds love at the St Gregory. Connie Sellecca is great in it, I loved how she got the job. Walking in off the street in her jeans and check shirt then changing in the toilets and then going and telling everyone interviewing that they wouldn't be hiring that day and just assuming the role of assistant all by herself. Such an '80s independent woman story. You go girl! You get that life you want even if it is ludicrous and totally and utterly unrealistic.
Bette Davis' role was much smaller than I expected and I know she's replaced in the following episodes by Anne Baxter so I'm guessing/hoping that the role is expanded a bit more. I can see why @Willie Oleson had a crush on the blonde guy though. He's all kinds of hot and that's a damn fine head of hair. James Brolin is also easy on the eye. I think I'm going to like this show. It's the type of thing I can just turn my brain off and watch and enjoy all the shiny pretty and the guest stars. And there are a ton of guest stars!
Off I go to watch some more. I'll just pop random posts in here though. I wont be doing episode by episode or anything.
