Free Agents

So I have finally found something that I feel is worthy of talking about on this blog! I don't know if any one of you in this class have had the privilege to hear of the new television series Free Agents; but if you have not then that is really too bad. I just finished watching the pilot of this new series and I was actually kind of captivated by it. Now I'm sure that you are all reading this and thinking, "what does this have to do with anything?". Yet in fact it has everything to do with our class. The reason is that the entire show is about a group of people who are working in a Public Relations Firm.
Do not get me wrong however, the show itself seems a little bit lame but the fact that it is all about us really got me interested. So I watched.
The story is all about recently divorced Alex (Hank Azaria from The Simpsons and Huff) who an absolute emotional wreck and cannot even make it through a day of work without sobbing like a pre-school girl in pigtails. In the pilot there is some stupid story filler drama about Alex hooking up with his co-worker Helen (Kathryn Hahn, "Hung") who also just finish burying her husband over a year ago (yes pun intended) but is still so neurotic that she has 22 photos of the dead husband glittering her room.
As you can see it follows an extremely unique story-line as an attempt to set itself apart from the rest! Ha! Ha! Ha! Not!!! Yet inspite of it's generic and somewhat drab papercutter plot line the show does have me legitimately snared by the crafty dialogue and setting that relates to why I'm posting it here on this blog.
I like television shows and movies very much. Almost more than I like myself. And so when I noticed this one related to our P.R. Class I changed my entire direction that I had planned to take with these blog posts. I hink that each couple episodes of this show might actually have enough meat inside of them that I can fill up a post each week with a little update of what has happened and how we can learn from this show. If it doesn't work or interest you then sorry stop reading because I gotta get a grade.
Thank you all and hope you get an opportunity to check it out.

P.S. Ashton Kutcher is going to be ok on two and a half men. He'll never be Charlie but I like what did to introduce his character as taking up where Charlie left off but not being the exact same guy. Still this is a shout out to Charlie fans everywhere! He'll be missed won't he?
