'Lost', 'Moonlight' star pair up for new Hawaii Five-0

March 24th 2010 17:28
Look to see Lost's Daniel Dae Kim and Moonlight's Alex O'Loughlin on the new Hawaii Five-0 next year.



From ET:

"Moonlight" and "Three Rivers" star Alex O'Loughlin signs to star in his third series for CBS: "Hawaii Five-0."


O'Loughlin will play Detective Steve McGarrett, the role played by Jack Lord in the original series, which ran from 1968 to 1980.

In the Lord version of the show, the McGarrett headed Five-O team was a special state police unit answering only to the Governor of Hawaii.

"Lost" star Daniel Dae Kim has previously been signed to play Detective Chin Ho Kelly, the uniform originally worn by Kam Fong.

It is not yet confirmed if the series will shoot in Hawaii, but a spokesperson for CBS said it is "likely."


I wasn't so sure about this whole remake until I heard about the cast. I'm a big fan of both these guys, so I have faith that it'll turn out pretty good. Let's just hope they don't get canceled after half a season. :/

Emmy snubs. Who would you nominate?

September 19th 2008 03:07

In three days, the people of TV will get together to congratulate each other on their awesomeness of making it through a Writers’ Strike shortened season. But a look at the list of nominees makes me think, wait a second, there’s some good people missing here…

Sure, we all have our favorites who we just “know” should have made it not only through to the nominees, but all the way to win right? Sure, maybe somewhere deep down we secretly know that, okay maybe they weren’t the best…but still…Haha


But in all seriousness, I do think there were some very good actors and actresses who were overlooked this year.


First off, let’s talk about Henry Ian Cusick, otherwise known as Desmond on Lost. Does anyone else think that he did an awesome job this year? I mean, seriously, I became a huge Desmond fan this year, and The Constant was a very complicated, very well acted episode. I’m so glad he and Penny finally found each other!


While I’m on the subject of Lost, how about Yunjin Kim and Daniel Dae Kim playing married couple Sun and Jin Kwon? I do believe their storyline was the one that made me cry the most this last year. So very sweet, and when Sun’s screaming at the end of the season when the boat blows up? I was screaming and crying just as hard! Jin’s death was just wrong! I mean seriously, he was SO CLOSE! I--Ahem, yes, well, you can see how I feel about that one…


Moving on, let’s talk a little bit about the boys of Supernatural. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles have portrayed the Winchester brothers Sam and Dean better than any two actors I’ve ever seen play brothers. Their chemistry is amazing and don’t let the fact that this show is on the CW make you believe this is anywhere close to fluff acting. These guys are not mere eye candy people, they can seriously ACT! The depth of emotion they can play is amazing. They make me laugh, they make me cry, they make scream at the TV when anyone messes with my Winchesters! Oh yeah, and the Impala? Awesome.


If there was an award for best ensemble cast, I would have to give it to the cast of Bones. This is one show where I actually love all the characters. And that doesn’t happen to me often! David Boreanaz and Emily Deschanel have great chemistry, and the writing on this show is fantastic. Finally a crime-fighting show that actually has fully well-rounded characters that I can care about! It’s not all about the cool CSI effects, it’s about real people, witty banter, and chemistry. And I’m not talkin’ just the scientific kind.


And then there's Heroes. Granted it's definitely an ensemble cast, but if I had to pick only one person it would definitely be Masi Oka playing Hiro Nakamura. What can I say? I love the guy. His character is the one person who selflessly just wants to save the world.


On the comedy side, Zachary Levi is great in Chuck. His work as the Buy More Nerd Hearder turned secret spy computer is sweet, and funny, and the chemistry between Chuck and Casey, and Chuck and Morgan is fantastic. Maybe it’s just the geek in me, but I love these guys! And I love how the show is both a spoof and a spy show in and of itself.


David Duchovny. ‘nuff said. Oh wait, you need more? Okay, how about his work as Hank Moody, a character that we all should hate, but we can’t help but love. Honestly, I don’t think I’d like Californication if anyone else was playing Hank. David’s honest vulnerability and well-known fantastic dark wit makes Hank a guy we can all love despite his many flaws.


Finally, let’s talk about Moonlight. I know you guys know I still have a serious problem with CBS for cancelling the only vampire show I’ve ever loved (and I do mean LOVED!) Alex O'Loughlin was brilliant in this show as vampire/private investigator Mick St. John. The way he portrayed Mick, strong yet vulnerable, gave the guy an intensity and wonderful heart. Jason Dohring as witty and lovable Josef, Mick’s 400 year old best friend was great. These guys had a friendship that could rival the best of them. I so wish Moonlight would have been given another chance. With all the vampire hype this year (Twilight anyone? Tru Blood?) I bet CBS is wishing they hadn’t staked and burned our beloved Mick St. John now, huh?

Okay, well, there’s my two cents. I’m not saying that the people who were nominated didn’t deserve it, I’m just saying that it would be nice to see some of these people who’ve worked so hard for some many years on some great shows get the recognition they deserve.

So how about you guys? Who would you add to the list?

It’s been a year! Celebrate with an original song parody!

June 16th 2008 03:59

I can’t believe it, but as of yesterday, it’s been a year since I took over the blogging of TV Chit Chat, and what a year it’s been! Aside from the (dare utter it?) Writers’ Strike and lack of awards shows, there were some definite quotable quotes, *GASP!* moments, and great new shows actually worth watching. And so, in honor of this season, I thought it only appropriate to recap the year in the form of…*ahem* original parody of a popular song…

*CUE PIANO MAN MUSIC*

(Why am I having a Bones moment? Oh right…)

*sits down at the piano and pulls out the harmonica*

And here, for those of you who like to read parodies along with the actual song...
olid">
billy joel- piano ...


On with the show!!

It’s nine o’clock at my computer
The regular fans loggin’ in
There’s a TV sitting next to me
Still wonderin’ what happened to Jin.

He says, “Sun can you bring back the time machine?
I’m not really sure where it is,
But it’s buried, once cone-shaped, now probably black
Locke knows, but Jack’s better with this.

la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum

Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right

Now Dean in the car is a friend of mine
And Sammy yeah he’s in there too
They’re quick with the joke
Or to pull out The Colt
But there’s demons and more than a few

Dean says, “Sam, I believe this is killing me,”
As Bela ran away with the gun
“Well I’m sure that I could get out of this deal
But dude, you for me, that’s not fun.”

Oh la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum

Now Bones, she’s a best-selling novelist
Who never has time for a life
She and Booth in therapy, and Sweets doing pottery
And still no Squint wedding in sight

And the “Mc” thing is still on at Seattle Grace
And Dr. House and his cane are alone
Because Wilson and Amber are now a thing
And poor Sloan is now all on his own

Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right

Mick and Beth have to deal with the “human thing”
And Josef redecorates with a smile
But they know Coraline and the writers will try
To tease, break them up for a while

And the music brings tears to my little eyes
And the lighting reminds me of noir
And if it doesn’t come back and they stake Mick St. John
As Josef says, CBS “It’s SO ON!”

Oh la la la didi daaa
la la didi daa
daa dum

Play us a show, you’re the TV set
Play us a show tonight
Well we’re all in the mood for a tragedy
With comedy written in just right

Whoohoo! I just wanted to say THANKS to all the TV fans who visit TV Chit Chat and all you Orblers who've welcomed me in! You've all made this a great first year, and here's a virtual toast to many more to come!!
