So since our board was shut down (

) here's where we all have to go to discuss our fav. show. Post away people!

Hi Cathy

I saw a commercial for The Terminal. Chi was in it briefly.

Word is that Jeri's show might get a midseaon pickup.

We Were Infinite · 06-16-2004, 10:00 PM

Oh thank God someone posted! lol. Thanks Melis. I'm taking it you got my pm.

I cant wait to watch The Terminal. And I'll watch I, Robot only because Chi is in it. Normally I wouldn't go watch a movie with robots in it.

Hope her show gets picked up. It sounds kinda interesting.

Oh yeah. I bought ATTK from Wal-Mart for like 6 bucks. I didn't finish the book. It was a really good movie.

**Melis** · 06-16-2004, 10:33 PM

Yep, I got your pm.

I like Will Smith, so that's another reason why I'd see that one.

I was surprised Jeri's show didn't get a fall pickup, but at least it's being considered for midseason.

I'm glad you got it. I agree that it was good.

We Were Infinite · 06-17-2004, 12:32 AM

How come you were surprised that her show didn't get on the fall schedule? just wondering..

**Melis** · 06-17-2004, 02:39 AM

It was a high-profile show. Sandra Bullock, and her production company were behind it. The buzz around was that it close to getting picked up.

We Were Infinite · 06-17-2004, 04:23 AM

Oh ok. Got it.

I don't like the name of Jeri's character. If I remember correctly it's Gillian. Not the best name for a witch IMO.

Nikki K · 06-18-2004, 04:22 AM

So... *hurries-in* - I'm here.
Jeri has a new show? What's it about?
Did Chi's show get picked up - it was about a S.W.A.T. team, right?

We Were Infinite · 06-18-2004, 04:41 AM

Hey Nina

Jeri's new show is kinda like Charmed. She has a sister and I think they're just discovering that they're witches. Oh and I read that the show would like start off with Jeri's character finding that the guy she was with was killed in some motel room. *shrug*

No I don't think Chi's show got picked up. But I think Melis can tell you for sure.

**Melis** · 06-18-2004, 08:18 AM

Jeri's show is based on Sandra Bullock's movie Practical Magic.

Nope, Chi's show didn't get a pickup.

We Were Infinite · 06-18-2004, 07:58 PM

I saw about half of that movie. I guess Jeri would be Nicole Kidman.

Nikki K · 06-19-2004, 03:32 AM

Hej Cathy! Hej Melissa!

Thanks for the info. I remember little of that movie. But it can't be exactly like Charmed, no? They don't fight the evil as far as I remember. And I mean Charmed is still there. Anyway...

Pity about Chi's show. You all know, I've only seen a few episodes of Boston Public. But Harper was my favourite character so far. He had that irritated but funny behaviour going on. I loved that episode where Marilyn tells him that it would be a good idea to tell the teachers that he appreciates their work and everytime he did they whined at him: "What? Am I fired?" instead of saying "Thank you" and he made that superfrustrated helpless face.

Ah... on other BP related news, yesterday I saw Jessalyn Gilsig on "Without a Trace". That was a great episode.

We Were Infinite · 06-19-2004, 03:59 AM

You did? That's awesome. What did Jess do in the episode?

I've been seeing her in Nip/Tuck lately. I like her character and how Jess is playing someone that's pretty much the complete opposite of Lauren.

She was involved in some kind of investment fraud. Then she dissappeared and got killed by her fianc�. She made a pretty corps though.

I can't compare her character on WaT to BP since I never saw her on BP. so...

**Melis** · 06-19-2004, 04:57 PM

That's one thing I don't like about Without A Trace. You don't learn much about the characters.
