Re: Tonight\'s \"Lucky\" episode- beginning of the end?
agreed on the scams. agreed on the tv sight gag being blown in the promos.
one thing is that they are still trying to figure out what exactly the show is going to be. mutha and vinny to this point were scammers but like you, i felt the thievery just wasn't in their characters. they should retrace their steps on that decision.
the story lines to this point have been pretty scam-heavy. if that is the feeling that the producers want -- a kind of fantasy world where anything and everything might (or might not) be as it seems, then the scams will be the "hallmark" of the show. i think the show could be strong enough not to be so scam-reliant, though. and i think a less scam-reliant show would in the end be a better show.
anyway, drop the thievery, have some story-line situations not reliant on scams, and see how it goes. finding the "flow" of the show is what the first season is all about, but i agree that this last episode was a step in the wrong direction.
