The subject of this week’s ‘Blogger Beat Down’ is… The Wrap writer Brent Lang who in an obvious (and we should mention very successful) attempt for page views, named Alex O’Loughlin, Mark Feuerstein and Mark Valley among “TV’s 8 Biggest Show-Killers.”
Our Take: Putting aside the obvious fact that right out of the gate, author Brent Lang completely misses the mark by failing to include notorious show-killers Eric Balfour and Paula Marshall on his list, we find ourselves with little choice but to ask the slightly awkward albeit painfully obvious question: Does Mr. Lang comprehend the meaning of the term “Show-Killer?” We only ask because it is our belief that if an actor is currently starring in a hit show — like ROYAL PAINS star Mark Feurestein who just saw his show’s second season help contribute to record ratings for USA, or Mark Valley whose action/adventure hybrid HUMAN TARGET just got picked up by FOX for a second season — they aren’t technically ‘show-killers,’ are they? Oh, and as for former MOONLIGHT and THREE RIVERS star Alex O’Loughin… how about getting back to us after you’ve had the chance to watch his work in CBS’ re-imagined HAWAII FIVE-0. Having seen it ourselves, we’re pretty confident in saying third time is most definitely the charm.
