SHARK
DeathWatch Odds 305-1 (as of September 22, 2006; 4:39pm)

BBCancelled: James Wood’s new show may just have a slight case of the sniffles instead of anything deadly. Probably a hit, seeing it has the cushiest timeslot in television, right behind the #1 show, CSI.

20060922_shark._300x354.jpg“Shark” marks the television debut of James Woods as a series star, and sadly, despite him being on camera in almost every shot—or maybe because of him—the show is really just another lawyer show. “Perry Mason” with a touch of modern day, jurisprudence sleaze and a harsher bite.

Woods plays Los Angeles attorney to the stars Sebastian Stark. When he gets a client off for beating his wife, only to have the client kill his wife days later, Stark suddenly grows a conscience and takes the Mayor up on his idea of hiring a high-profile defense attorney to prosecute the stars.

I saw a whole FEW minutes of Studio 60....like many, thought that the pre-show hype was going to make a GREAT show.....
What I saw was bad.....what was worse, that NPR's Talk of the Nation the night before played an audio clip (obviously, since they are on the RADIO !) and the guest and the beloved host both said it was Matthew Perry talking to a girl when it was clearly Bradley Whitford, one of the WW stars who has an unforgettable voice !
"60" is dead.

James Woods and Spike Lee!! Slow down. Jumping the shark made for a cute banner, if improperly referencing a show that's outstayed its welcome, but come on. Why not give it a couple of months. Mayebe this B+ will become an A.
