Title: What About Brian
Post by: eclv on April 17, 2006, 02:11:28 pm
They showed the pilot on ABC last night and I really enjoyed it. It was funny, serious and really entertaining. Plus I think we all have a friend like Brian, or may even be one. Tonight is the first episode. It doesn't hurt that Barry Watson is in it.  :wink:

What About Brian (http://www.abc.go.com/primetime/schedule/2005-06/whataboutbrian.html)

Brian is the guy everyone wants as a best friend. He's the guy who'll stand by you at your wedding, drive you to the hospital, cheer your kids on at their little league game... the guy who every wife dotes on and every husband wants to either grab a beer with or live vicariously through him. But as all of his friends pair off and Brian emerges as the last bachelor standing, questions begin to arise in his head: Is there such a thing as Miss Right? Why does love have to be so complicated? What is his problem with commitment? And the most pressing question of all, could all of his problems stem from the fact that he is harboring a crush on his best friend's girl?

At 34, Brian is the last single guy in his group of friends: his best friend Adam was going to break up with picture-perfect Marjorie but proposed instead. Brian's sister, Nic, and her boy-toy husband, Angelo, are trying hard to have kids. The bohemian Dave and Deena have three little girls and no sex life. And, like all married people, they can't wait for Brian to join their "club," though they're not exactly sure why. As for Brian, well, he's a serial monogamist but still holds out hope that one day he'll open the door and be blinded by love.

What About Brian is from the producers of Lost and Alias and the screenwriter of City of Angels and For Love of the Game.

Ohh man. I can't wait. It's from the producers of "Lost" and "Lost" is my all time favorite show. This show looks interesting. I've seen the previews and it looks like it's something really everyone can relate to.
I think it airs at 10:00 pacific and 9:00 central, tonight. Can't wait.

I love this show! I see a lot of myself in Brian as I'm getting older.

Having the Pink Power Ranger playing the psycho girlfriend made me laugh a lot.

Cant wait for episode 2 tonight.

Glad I am not the only one who loves this.

Amy Jo Johnson from Felicity yeah she was great! I wish she was part of the cast. She was a little on the crazy side, that's for sure.  :roll:

I missed the first 20 mins. or so cause I get off work at 10 and was recording Medium. It was another great episode. Brian was with the other chick and wanting more where she was all about the one night stand. I guess the whole friend thing played a factor but still kinda funny.  

Deena and Dave's whole open marriage thing is just wrong. They haven't really said or showed that she's already doing it, do you think she is?

Marjorie used to be on Saved By the Bell the New Class.  I like Barry Watson so I'm going to give it a try.  Let's hope it doesn't die or get yanked too early (hello, Love Monkey).

I read at FORT that the season is only 4 episodes with the finale May 8. I guess they're seeing how well it does first.

As far a  Love Monkey, in case you hadn't heard, it's on Vh1. They bought all 8 episodes. Kristin's airs April 25th. So we'll at least get to see the season. It's doubtful it will be back because Tom Cavanaugh and the others have already moved on to something else. But who knows.

Marjorie is so HOT. I had to download the first 2 episodes. I'll probably end up watching it.

I already love this show, and I've only seen 2 episodes.  I can relate to Brian in that most of my friends are hooked up and I am still single and don't have a lot of luck in the dating scene.

It's really a great show but how is Adam going to tell Marjorie that he wanted to wait to tell her he won't be able to help her move to avoid the fight? He's a jerk. And she takes it.

I can't believe Nic didn't tell Angelo and isn't it a little early to be trying again?

Just when I thought Deena and Dave were going to make it...  What a terrible mother trying to make her sick daughter go out to the park so she can see her crush.  :roll:

It's a soap opera but damn it's a good one. lol

And yes it is too early for Nic to be trying again, and a miscarriage is almost never that smooth. It's TV land.

As for Adam and Marjorie, that actually is more realistic because the right girl almost always goes for the jerk instead of the right guy. Frustrating.

Deena needs to be smacked to wake up.

She's a doctor, you would think she knows better. But I can't say I haven't done it myself. STUPID!! But I have lived and learned, I hope. haha.

I'm so glad they recast Marjorie. Polly Shannon is in the old promo pic at the begining of this thread, but Sarah Lancaster is just beautiful and perfect for the role.

That episode tonight was intense in so many ways!

That look when Marjorie walked in the room...

The argument about hope at the end...

And even the Deena storyline tonight...

I can't believe the season's over.

Yeah, I heard the season was short. I will have to check with my FORT friends and see what the scoop is.

I didn't think Marjorie's dress was that great. Brian's face was cute.

So do you think Adam can hear what they are talking about or just sees their hand movements?

I loved her friend's reactions when she told them about the open marriage. I am surprised Deena called it all off. And Dave? Will he go through with it? If he does, she shouldn't be mad cause she already did it herself.

I'll try. I just got done watching 1x05 so I'm all ready for the new season. I saw the preview for it on ABC... oh man it looks intense.

Great to have it back!

So much for the Vista Cruiser.

I'm glad Dave & Deena worked things out.... sorta.

Post by: eclv on October 09, 2006, 10:45:06 pm
Thanks for the reminder BV!!

Man, I was disappointed they didn't add more to the car accident. That was crazy! Then Dave/Deena and the fire. Haha. I am glad they are kinda getting back together but I just don't think that they will ever be able to get over it.

Adam is a jerk. Majorie is running out of time. Oh man it's too intense for me! Majorie is playin' poor Brian though. What was with going to see him but then again, Adam I am sure did some things he shouldn't have done with the stripper.

I really hope they aren't writing Marjorie out. It's just not as good without the triangle

I hadn't read that she is leaving but who knows. I was really surprised she didn't go ahead with the wedding.

Poor Nicole. I noticed Angelo's name wasn't in the opening credits anymore.

Deena, ooooooh that was classic! Why didn't she say something when she asked about the champagne? He was going to call it off, yeah, like the night before too huh? MEN! It's her fault though.

Fucking hooker! I can't believe she dl their game and put it on a free site.

I hope D&D can get back together. I am glad she finally realized it was her fault.

Poor Nicole. I feel so bad for her.

Brain got back together with the crazy lady, dumb. But I do love her from Felicity days. And Ivy.

Anyone know if it was on last Monday? Probably not as it was a holiday.

Someone's back and in for a shock! I hope she doesn't think she can just walk back in and get Brian or Adam back. Should be entertaining.

Kinda gross that Brian and his dad slept with the same woman.

I like Adam and Heather.

I read at FORT that Tiffani Thiessen has joined the cast as a regular.

Thiessen will play Natasha Dylan, a former intern of Dave's (Rick Gomez) who becomes his new boss at KC Gaming.

Sexy, manipulative and a shrewd businesswoman, Natasha loves playing mind games with all the friends, especially Brian (Barry Watson) and Adam (Matthew Davis), and uses her attractiveness, smarts and charm to get what she wants.

Should be interesting.

She wasn't too bad in it. But I can't help but always think of her 90210 days.

I hope Dave and Deena get back together. So cute how she asked him on a date.

Go Nicole with the Manny!  :lol:  

Brian needs to be careful with those neighbors. If I was Bridget I would be mad too. But she was so rude when he took the job as the manager aka Schneider. You people are probably too young to get that reference but I thought it was hilarious.

It's funny that Sarah Lancaster replaced TAT on Saved By The Bell and now TAT is replacing Sarah. I really like the new neighbor Laura. She's really HOT but I want my Marjorie back!

I think his hair is awful

I liked his hair at first but now, not so much. Glad they broke up. She was very stuck up. I don't really like either of those neighbor girls. But the one roomate is a bitch!

Too funny that Nicole and Adam hooked up and he wants another chance.

I hope Dave and Deena stay together.
