Brilliant But Cancelled
On Tuesday, May 23rd, TV-philes across the country willrejoice with the launch of
Brilliantbutcancelled.com, a new broadband service
from Bravo that celebrates the small screen’s best-loved but short-lived series. Brilliantbutcancelled.com will be anchored by a critically acclaimed line-up of some of television’s most daring programs, described by Bravo as “too smart, too edgy or too hip for TV” when they hit the airwaves. Devotees of series including “the cancelled-before-it-ever-aired” “The Jake Effect” (starring Jason Bateman in a role that foreshadowed his character on Arrested Development), “EZ Streets,” “Johnny Staccato,” “Delvecchio,” “Touching Evil,” and “Gideon Oliver” will be able to see their “hard-to-find” favorites as streaming on demand options on the website. In an unusual twist of promotional support, the broadband premiere of “The Jake Effect” on Tuesday, May 23rd will be followed by an exclusive Thursday, May 25th airing of series episodes on Bravo’s analog channel from 8:00 –11:00 pm ET/PT to help drive viewers to the new website.
Synopsis: Brilliant But Cancelled: EZ Streets
Critics deemed this gritty urban crime drama as “simply too good for TV,” and The New York Times hailed it “one of the season’s exciting new series.” Journey to the criminal underworld with three fiercely independent men: Jimmy Murtha (Joe Pantoliano, “The Sopranos”), a charming but ruthless mob boss who rules the E Street gang by whatever means necessary; Detective Cameron Quinn (Ken Olin, “thirtysomething”), an undercover cop determined to find the truth no matter where it takes him; and ex-con Danny Rooney (Jason Gedrick, “Boomtown”), a recent parolee who finds himself unwillingly drawn back into a life of crime. As the story unfolds from each of their perspectives, this innovative series from director Paul Haggis (Crash, Million Dollar Baby) proves that on the shadowy streets of compromise there’s only one way to survive: trust no one.
Synopsis: Brilliant But Cancelled: Crime Dramas
Johnny Staccato – “Tempted”
Independent film pioneer John Cassavetes starred from 1959 to 1960 in this hip drama about a jazz pianist who moonlights as a private detective. Set in New York’s ultra-cool Greenwich Village, this detective series was filmed in black and white and features smooth musical numbers to accentuate its smoky, sultry narrative tone.
Delvecchio – “Licensed to Kill”
From legendary producer Steven Bochco (“NYPD Blue”), Delvecchio aired from 1976 to 1977 and starred Emmy winner Judd Hirsch as Dominick Delvecchio, an honest and courageous LAPD detective who is studying to pass the legal bar exam. Assisted by his tough-as-nails boss and his wisecracking partner, Delvecchio finds himself torn between a life of action and danger and his dreams of a prestigious career in law.
Gideon Oliver – “Sleep Well, Professor Oliver”
A brilliant Columbia University professor of anthropology (Louis Gossett, Jr., “Stargate SG-1”) finds that his unparalleled knowledge of human behavior is applicable in some of the world’s most puzzling crimes. Produced in 1989 by Wolf Films, the award-winning development team behind the highly successful Law & Order franchise.
Touching Evil – “K”
Touching Evil originally aired in 2004 and followed the exploits of the FBI’s Organized and Serial Crime (OSC) Unit, a rapid-response, elite crime squad. The OSC brings back renegade agent David Creegan (Jeffrey Donovan), who pushes the law to the limit to track the criminals no one else can find
The Producers
Before providing an account of DVD release of The Producers on May 16, there’s one thing we need to say: UMA, UMA, UMA.
Yes, beyond being a vehicle to showcase the many talents of Nathan Lane and
Matthew Broderick, not to mention the comic sublimity of Will Ferrell, this
is a film that provides ample doses of Uma Thurman. And now those doses can
be taken in the privacy of our own home.
Lane and Broderick star as two Broadway connivers who hatch a scheme
to soak unwitting investors by putting on a show that is destined to fail.
They think they’ve found the proverbial goose that laid the golden egg in the form of a show called “Springtime for Hitler.”
That is until Will Ferrell steps in as a nostalgic Nazi, and the crowds
start to flock to the Broadway hit show they mistakenly believe to be a
brilliant satire.
Remaking the wonderful 1968 film that starred Zero Mostel and Gene
Wilder is no mean challenge. But then again, in 1968 they didn’t
have Uma Thurman.
The DVD contains several deleted scenes and outtakes
from the film, as well as feature commentary and analysis
from director Susan Stroman.
