Lots to look forward to this weekSun, March 14, 2010 @ 5:40PM Normal 0 I like Tyler Labine. A lot. He’s a big ball of good-natured scruffy. If the CW’s “Reaper” had continued he as WorkBench slacker Bert “Sock” Wysocki might even have become a werewolf, but it didn’t and he did not. Instead, starting Sunday in "Sons of Tucson," at 10:30/9:30c on FOX, he’s a down-on-his-luck schlub living in his car when three kids decide to pull a Kurt Russell-free “Overboard” -- and how dated is that reference? After their father goes to prison, Brandon, Gary and Robby Gunderson hire Labine as parking lot denizen Ron Snuffkin to stand in as their dad. If the previews can be believed, within moments he’s using words like “bruschetta” and essentially standing in as sometimes father, sometimes fourth brother in this nutty romp.

Georgette Heyer is greatMon, March 15, 2010 @ 1:12PM You've got to like a book where the heroine deliberately shoots the hero and, later, stops a duel by throwing a coat in between the two swordsmen. Even better, the book in question, "The Devil's Cub" by Georgette Heyer, was published in 1932, before the age of feisty heroines a la Buffy the Vampire Slayer. In other ways, Mary Challoner is something of a nincompoop, though still mighty likeable. Like Elizabeth Bennet in Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice", Mary is afflicted with a silly little sister and an even more silly, ambitious mother concerned only with marrying off her daughters to men far above their stations in life. When the silly sister, Sophia, decides to run off to France with the rakish Marquis Vidal, Mary decides to put a stop to it by disguising herself as Sophia, taking her place and making the Marquis believe Sophia and Mary are playing a joke on him.
