Sorry to invade your space folks, I did not find a forum for the marvelous show Raines, so I decided to ask this here, seeing that it was off topic and such. Why did NBC not decide to continue with Raines? Has it been officially shelved or just blown down the crapper completely? I thought it was well written, very smart, and a well rounded great show. I even DVR'd the ones I could. I even posted a comment here at NBC back in the late spring when there were rumors of not renewing it. Can anyone give me an answer? Thanks.

Hi, Sorry, I have no idea, but I'm sure some of the boffins here will know.

I always thought it was just a mid-season replacement that was only meant to go for 8 or so episodes and it ran its course. Whether or not it is brought back is up to NBC and I haven't seen anything either way.

I read that the ratings weren't good enough. It's a shame, the network never gave it a chance to build an audience. NBC was reeling with quite a few clunkers, and needed a quick hit. They did the same thing to The Black Donnelly's & Andy Parker. PI. dry.gif

Too bad. Maybe someone will write Jeff Goldblum another series. He's great.

So how was the stone age music then?? We went to Wales last year and - quite unexpectedly - ended up listening to a lunch time concert by this amazing band (ContraBand) who played medievel music with authentic instruments. It was - for me anyway, not sure about my boys - the highlight of the trip.

The Mummers can be a little off putting when you don't know why these grown men look like they've raided Liberace's closet.


I've seen this sort of acting troup. It's quite popular ( ok, not hugely popular but if your interested in finding it, there are quite a few troupes around the Philly area. Not the same as busking. The ones I've seen take great pride in staying true to the period. they would only wear costumes and makeup found during that era - middle ages or maybe earlier.

Very fun if you get the chance you should go to see it.
Just my imagination
Okay, I'm back from my 4 days in NYC. I did not go to Chelsea Piers but I did see it as the plane circled Manhattan as we arrived. Doesn't count though, right? I did ask my neice who lives on Staten Island if she had seen them filming the movie Staten Island. She said she hadn't seen any movie crews recently but Law & Order filmed around her a lot. She said her neighbor had just gotten pictures of THE ITALIAN GUY! I asked calmly because we were in a crowded restaurant--VINCENT D'ONOFRIO? She said yes and seemed confused as to why her usually sane aunt was throwing a fit over her gnoccis. After I calmed down I asked her if she would let me know by e-mail in the future as to whether they are filming anything anywhere near her. She asked me what I would do if they were filming (I think she's afraid I'll jump in my car and drive the 7 hours to see them) and I told her I'd post it on the NBC Boards for all my fellow fanatics who live in the NYC area.

She also told me that a lot of The Soprano cast members live on Staten Island. She has met Michael Imperioli and his twin brother. I was not a fan of The Sopranos and only knew Michael from movies and when he filled in for Jesse L. Martin on the mothership. I'll keep on her to tell me when she sees things being filmed and post them here.

NYC in August is way too hot for me and the throngs of people around Midtown was ridiculous. I will never go to NYC in the summer again! Of course, that's what I said after my nephew got married in Queens in July 11 years ago. I did enjoy a few hours in Central Park and The Paley Museum of Media and The NY Historical Society. I'm glad I caught The Year of Magical Thinking and Nixon/Frost before they left Broadway. Vanessa Redgrave was so wonderful and Joan Didion's writing was the best she's ever done. I started crying 5 minutes into the play. It's a one-woman show and Redgrave's continuous monologue with difficult medical terminology and with an American accent just blew me away. Langella was very good too playing Nixon too. That has to be the hardest real person to portray and I think Langella, like most of us, was never really sure what Nixon was feeling from his words. I remembered the interview as a close-up of Nixon's face and the man had learned from his Chinese friends to be inscruitable. Langella got to use his whole body and let us see the nervousness and tension that you couldn't see on television. The end affected me strangely. I started to cry as he finally (sort of) admitted his wrong doing. I actually felt sorry for Nixon by the end of the play, but not as sorry as I did for America having to live through that era.

As I recall the 2 plays that were the reason for me going to NYC, I see that I was setting myself up for depression, but visiting The Paley Museum and viewing Signs of Life and a This is Your Life Betty White and Dick Van Dyke and a really young Johnny Carson and Tuesday Weld on What's My Line cheered me up after Magical Year, and cocktails at The Algonquin and Smith and Wolensky Grill (3rd and 49th where my nephew works--ask for Bernie) cheered me up.

And for the real adventure of my vacation, my flight Friday night was cancelled because of a lightning storm North of NYC. And what did I do--rented a car and drove home alone at 10:30 at night, through a thunderstorm in a strange car, when I had been awake since 6 am. I got to my house at 6:40 a.m. Saturday feeling like Wonder Woman. I think I can do anything now. Thanks USAirways for building my self confidence.

Sorry for the long post but I don't get out much anymore.

Sounds like you had a terrific time. Thanks for the long post!!! "That Italian Guy" People just don't appreciate it do they?! cool.gif

I didn't think your post was that long. _I don't "get out much" either so I enjoyed hearing about your trip. Sorry you didn't get to see the "Italian guy" but glad that you had a good time.

At the mention of Nixon-sorry but- all I could think of was the movie "Dick" w/ Kirsten Dunst because I watched part of it yesterday. What a silly fun movie!

So tell us, JMI, can your niece get the pictures of "the Italian Guy" from her neighbor to show you? DonnaLucy(Jo) and I have often commented on how funny it is that we have to pretend we are sane when talking about Vincent in public. It is so hard to appear calm, when inside we are screaming! Hey, if you can drive 7 hours home, you can drive 7 hours back to see him filming in NYC, Wonder Woman. I'm sure it would be worth the trip! Never say never. A fellow poster, Vurtgirl (whom we haven't heard from in ages btw) taught me that.

It is unbearably hot in NYC in the summer. Remember "Blind Spot"? I think the horrible humidity and heat of NYC actually helped VDO portray Goren as so distraught and disheveled. But I felt so bad for him having to endure it!

How nice for you that you got to see two such fine actors - Vanessa Redgrave and Frank Langella - in such fine plays. And of course, seeing Signs of Life must have been a thrill. Along with "cocktails at the Algonquin", it sounds like a wonderful time! So glad you got to go!
Just my imagination
I will definitely have my neice ask her neighbor about the pictures. I guess it's time to confess my obsession to her. She won't understand but hopefully she'll take pity on her crazy old aunt and keep me in the loop. I wouldn't drive down to see the filming (still afraid of that fainting thing) but I would surely post here if she knows of any filming going on, especially for you fans in the NYC area. She and her life partner are anything but shy. At a Barbra Streisand concert last year, they went right down to the courtside seats and got autographs from Rosie O'Donnell, Sarah Jessica Parker and The Clintons! She didn't get it from my side of the family. At the Regis & Kelly taping I was 2 seats away from Regis during a commercial and I couldn't even look him in the eye, let alone talk to him. Luckily this childish shyness doesn't affect any other parts of my life and celebrities in Rochester are few and far between.

If I ever do find out about filming, I'll bump that old thread (the one about spotting stars) up so everyone will know. So keep your eyes peeled.

Okay, I bared my soul to my neice's partner about my addiction to all things LOCI and especially Vincent and SHE HAS PICTURES! She will scan them and e-mail them to me and send me originals. And she will tell me as soon as she hears about any filming. Now what do I do with them? I can't put them on my signature because I have Windows Vista and they're more security sensitive than Homeland Security. Should I start a MySpace or is there a place to post pictures now? I am not technically inclined and need precise directions.

She works at a clinic for people with substance abuse and she told me she has a room ready for me in rehab once I've detoxed. I'll keep that in mind for when LOCI goes off the air. Maybe we can reserve a wing for all of us. It's on Staten Island so maybe they'd let us go to places where LOCI has filmed and just "walk where Vincent walked".

I like it! I'm in London tho, but maybe my health insurance will spring for a treatment for my addiction (but I don't want to give up the addiction tho - I don't suffer from my LOCI addiction; I enjoy it very much thank you!!

Why don't you go to photobucket or something similar? You can upload the pics to a pb site and then post the link for all us greedy fans to enjoy.
