Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

NBC's sitcom based on Annie Duke's life has a lead actress.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

Will Daniel Negreanu make a guest appearence as Cup Boy?

Edit: Seriously, his stories have to be the ONLY sitcom worthy thing in her life, and those were just him ranting on her...

janeane garafalo... ha.

Garafalo is a good talent. That gives the show a chance to make it.

Who did you expect to play Duke? Jeri Ryan?

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

Can't think of a better actress for the part.

Not that I'm crazy about the idea of the series, and for that matter, generally go out of my way to avoid watching sitcoms, but it does seem like a good fit.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

a little off the subject....what exactly was she bitching at Brett Jungblut for in the WSOP last year. They just showed that on TV and I forgot how much of a whiney B@ she looked like. Something about him pushing his cards in the muck....anyone hear the story? know more? Thanks


oh, this show sounds interesting but are they going to open with how she probably cheated on her husband, thus becoming a single mom, because her head got so big because she is 'such a star'?

I know, I'm an ass! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I say she is a sure sign the show will fail, she sucks.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

i don't know whether or not the show will work...we'll have to see how well it's written, but garafelo (sp?) is PERFECT for the part. any cutsie, playful bits of her role will be acted out, just like annie does.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

Agreed...I can't stand her.

It seems to me that this part is perfectly cast, because most of the time I can't tell which person is being hated on in this thread.

I could be WAY off so take this with less then a grain of salt. I believe she was upset because Brett showed his cards to another player and then put them in the muck, not showing anyone else.

Look on the bright side...
 

anything that keeps poker in the spotlight is ok...doesn't mean you have to watch it...

I think he lost a showdown (didn't show his hand) and a player asked to see his cards. To avoid showing he fired them in the muck. Annie (correctly) chastised him for his actions but came across as being awful biatchy.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

she came off awful biatchy because she is...

but i agree that whatever it takes to bring more fish to the tables is good.

NBC hasn't had a good show since they kicked Aarron Sorkin of The West Wing.

It just seems that everything that Janene Garafalo has had anything to do with sucks IMO.

Scrubs isn't terrible. And The West Wing is still worth watching, IMHO.

Re: Look on the bright side...
 

i wonder who they will get for Howard Lederer, my vote goes to Bob Saget a.k.a. Danny Tanner

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

Not sure if it's been posted, but Kathy Griffin would have been an ideal choice IMO. [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Poker has now officially jumped the shark.

Re: Things that make you go....Ewwwwwwww.
 

no, poker doesn't jump the shark until annie comes out of the closet, and seth green is cast as the il-legitimate younger half brother of the duke siblings.
