http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx CBS has stopped production on the mind-boggling mess known as VIVA LAUGHLIN. The show has obviously been cancelled but the network will only say it has been pulled according the Eonline.com. Look for some bizarre marketing strategy down the line to sell the season on DVD, even though the season would be around eight episodes at this point. Hard to imagine that a murder mystery show set in a casino as a musical would be a failure after one episode. Most people with a pulse could see failure from the first promotional clips. Most people who have ever seen TV before could see from the description the show was going to tank. Part of the appeal of the show was going to be based on the star power of Melanie Griffith and Hugh Jackman in recurring roles. This is confusing as well as Melanie hasn’t had a significant acting job this century and Jackman’s draw is seeing him fight Sabertooth and Magneto, not express his love for the American Musical as an artform. en-US Critics Rant info@criticsrant.com Subtext Version 1.9.4.0 http://www.criticsrant.com/images/default_gravatar_bullhorn.png http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx 77 60 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx#1955 wow this didnt last long.lol tinkluvspan http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx#1955 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 11:13:10 GMT http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx#1959 no wonder. it sounds ugh. brokun1 http://www.criticsrant.com/archive/2007/10/23/VIVA-LAUGHLIN-Pulled-Already.aspx#1959 Thu, 01 Nov 2007 21:19:32 GMT
