“It is frustrating sometimes, on cable, we would’ve been able to have the guys on LONE STAR take off their clothes, the show would’ve pulled 1.3 million viewers and we would’ve declared it a hit because that’s what MAD MEN draws. We would’ve collected a few trophies too, and no one would’ve questioned it.” was [...]

The subject of this week’s ‘Blogger Beat Down’ is… AOLTV’s Mo Ryan, who in a post earlier in the week asserted that FOX’s swift cancellation of LONE STAR is a “symptom of everything that has gone wrong at the broadcast networks.” Our Take: As much as it pains us to say this to the usually [...]

Shame on Twitter! In response to an interesting conversation that popped up amongst the TV Twitterrati that we happen to follow, this TV Addict now finds himself doing something we never in a million years thought we’d be forced to do: Come to the defense of both Charlie Sheen and NBC. Sadly, LONE STAR’s dismal [...]

Since our effusive praise for the series evidently means nothing, perhaps you’ll listen to LOST co-creator Damon Lindelof who had this to say via twitter late last week, “For the sake of all con men with a heart of gold, EVERYONE watch LONE STAR next Monday!” You can catch a brand new episode of LONE [...]

Now — putting aside for the moment how Fox [...]

You can’t set a primetime soap in Texas and not expect that it’s going to be compared to perhaps the greatest nighttime sudser of all time, DALLAS. So how does LONE STAR, the newbie premiering tonight at 9PM on FOX (Global TV in Canada) stack up? Well, that all depends on whether you’re looking at [...]

LONE STAR Premieres Sept. 20 at 9PM on FOX (Global TV in Canada) Bob Allen (the impossibly charming, deceptively handsome Josh Wolk) is Don Draper in the Texas heat: when he’s not shacked up with his girlfriend (Eloise Mumford) and conning the small community they live in with a phony investment, he’s worming his way [...]

James Wolk may not be a household name just yet, but give him time. Preferably, forty-four minutes on Monday when his new show LONE STAR premieres. Plucked form relative obscurity, Wolk plays Robert/Bob Allen, a charismatic and brilliant schemer who has meticulously constructed two lives in two different parts of Texas. On when he first [...]
