Well, let me guess, then.

If Hollywood blueprint history is any indicator, the script has somebody very close to Jack getting killed. Jack is gonna be all hellbent on revenge. Jack returns, because Jack's gonna get even.

Basically, pretty much the exact same plot as a million different movies preceding it.

Am I right?

I like your thinking, Eric. But I try to avoid spoiling things for viewers, as tough as that often is, before a show airs. Even with something like "Country Boys," which I reviewed for Monday's Beacon Journal, I found myself fighting the urge to give too much detail, since it's a more effective piece when you learn details as you go along.

As for Kris's comments, for those of you just tuning in, Kris is also known as Target Demo — my charming stepdaughter, featured in some previous posts here.

Ha! I chuckled. Although Briscoe read the title, thought this would be about him, and is currently sulking.

FINALLY, here's our chance to "stick it" to FOX.

First, they jack around loyal viewers of the best comedy on TV, Arrested Development…teasing us with a few episodes here and there…then pulling it off the air with four remaining, and basically shelving it so a cable network can't "officially" pick it up. SCREW #1

Then, they commit to a season-long mystery series, Reunion, with another loyal following…and cancel the show halfway thru without solving the plot. SCREW #2

Then, they force utter crap on us, like the inane "The War At Home" (my mind goes dead even typing the name)…saddle us with endless nights of the much-overrated Idol, and…aughhh, launch "Skating With Celebs." SCREW #3

For the love of all that is good and right, Rich, put the screws to FOX and reveal whatever juicy nugget of moronic pratter they want kept secret. Because it's NO SECRET at all that FOX has alienated more viewers this year than they've gained, and frankly, no one would care one iota.

Hey, have a good one!
