\"Cane\" new show on CBS
The promos made this show look horrible.
It actually isn't. It's almost solid. There's not a lot of "new" here, but it's done pretty well. Few other thoughts: - weird to see Polly Walker functionally playing the same role she did in Rome. I'm not sure if this is ok if I can't see her terts. - is sugar based ethanol really a viable fule alternative? - Jimmy Smits gives good badass. Anybody else check this out? |

Re: \"Cane\" new show on CBS
Caught a bit. Is it OK if I want this show to fail?
I agree that with Smits involved it has potential, but Richard Alpert is needed back at the Island soon, so let's say the show sucks. -ZEN |

Re: \"Cane\" new show on CBS
The promos made me think the network people had a meeting that went like this:
- You know what would be a cool setting for a show? MIAMI! People like CSI Miami. - Agreed. Make it very latin-y. - OMG JIMMY SMITS. - What will it be about? - Well we know that all Cubans in Florida run drugs, but we would be accused of racism. What else do they like to do? Oh - drink rum! - Done and done. |

[/ QUOTE ] Rich family drama has been done many times over, but this is the first time we've gone Cuban and liquor! I don't see much they can write that will thrill people, so I guess the acting will have to carry it. I like that they are just taking the casts of 'OZ' and 'Rome' and telling them to do their thing though. Not a big fan of the 'Lost' dude in the Fredo role thus far. |

- is sugar based ethanol really a viable fule alternative? [/ QUOTE ] not to make this an ethanol thread with all the political stuff that goes with it, but my general impression is that brazil has had a lot more success with its sugar-ethanol than we have with our corn-ethanol. supposedly it's more efficient in the absense of farm policy, but in light of corn and corn-ethanol subsidies, and sugar price supports and tariffs + a ban on sugar ethanol importing, we're not likely to see sugar ethanol here soon. |

Re: \"Cane\" new show on CBS
The show was not terrible enough that I'll be mildly disappointed when it's canceled in mid-October. The Santo character has potential, but they probably won't use him much.
Is it weird that Jimmy Smit's wife and son's girlfriend look about the same age? |

Re: \"Cane\" new show on CBS
Those promos every 5 seconds a couple months ago with the "sugar is the new oil" line eventually made me decide that I can't watch this show.
