Keen Eddie

Thank God for the Bravo, which has just picked up Keen Eddie. I had seen previews for it when it was on Fox, but never got around to watching it. Now that it's on Bravo, I've had the chance, and I'm glad I did. It's funny, and clever. (Also, Moneypenny is a very cute bit character. Makes me think of Bond, of course.)

This program is the best on Television.. It's Guy Ritchie meets Damon Runyon.. I have waited a very long time for something this good.. It's inspiring and always leaves you wanting more. The ensemble cast is profound.. The writing is genius! If Bravo chooses not to film NEW episodes of Keen Eddie, Shame on them!! Watch it and spread the word! We do not want to lose this gem!! "So how are you liking me so far"? I am liking you just fine, Eddie..

When I flip through the channels and see nothing but crap, I wonder what's so wrong with people that makes them ignore such great shows like Fox's "Keen Eddie". When it first aired, I was happy to discover that maybe TV could actually become intelligent again. The acting was well done, the plot clever, and altogether the show was very enjoyable. However, 90% percent of America chose to ignore Eddie and his crew because they were either too dumb or too lazy to deal with thinking and laying on the couch at the same time. OH GOD! NOT THAT! So, of course, they smothered the bright light of Keen Eddie and replaced it with awful shows like "Stupid Behavior Caught on Tape" (quite funny, really - it showed a day in the lives of Fox executives). Bravo mercifully picked it up, but didn't continue with a second season. It's a shame that a funny, smart, original (kiss my a**, o retard who called it a copycat show) program like this ended up so badly off. At least we've got the DVDs to look forward to - but until then, don't expect anything more. We've just been let down too many times.

Yes, Fox execs are stupid. Yes they are tasteless. Yes, all they care about is saving money and shocking people with talentless personalities (kind of an oxymoron, huh?). This had to be one of the best shows put on television in a long time. It was part "Moonlighting", part "Threes Company", with funny dialogue, incredible photography direction, and with a bunch of likable (lovable) characters played with wit, charm and intelligence by its actors. But I'm not surprised it's gone. I'm just surprised lame Fox didn't pull it after just one episode. Should we give them credit for that? I miss Eddie and Pip.

Everything from the writing to the actors performances was great. Eddie's fencing with Fiona, his special way of looking at and hearing Carol, the misunderstandings, and the way things went to hell in funny ways but turned out OK in the end, I loved it all. It's too bad the show had the misfortune to air on FOX, the place that cancelled Strange Luck, Brimstone, The Tick, Firefly, John Doe, and now, Keen Eddie.
