There were only a handful of shows I that watched religiously ( not including sports ) growing up especially once I started high school in the 1990s. Dukes of Hazzard, in the 1980s, The Fall Guy in the 1980s, Knight Rider, A-Team, Married With Children, and then when I was in high school in the early and mid 1990s shows like the original Law & Order. And when I mean religiously, I’m talking about every week including the reruns in the summer. There was really only one show that I watched that much during the summer when I was in high school and that the original Beverly Hills 90210 from Fox. Because it was about Generation X and what life was like growing up for a lot of us, it was a funny show like great soap operas are and all the beautiful, sexy women on it including one and particular.

I loved the Brenda Walsh character ( played by Shannen Doherty ) for multiple reasons. She was so real for both good and bad and seemed to always know what she want, except when it came to guys, she just didn’t always know how to get there and how to get what she wanted. Which is typical for teenagers of any generation and perhaps Generation X in particular. When we’re growing up we think we know what we want, but a lot of times don’t know how to get it and most teenagers have short attention spans and something else comes along and we’re impressed by that. I wanted to be a sportscaster when I was in high school up until my early 20s or so and realized that perhaps was no longer that important to me and didn’t want to get a degree in broadcasting in order to become a sportscaster. Brenda Walsh was similar, but I think she knew what she wanted, but didn’t know how to get it.

The Walsh Family, moves from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Beverly Hills, California ( just outside of Los Angeles ) and get a cultural shock right away because they comes from a mid-size community in Minneapolis to not just the second largest city and metro area in the country in Los Angeles, but to the heart of Hollywood and the entertainment industry in this country at least if not the world. Brenda, ( played by Shannen Doherty ) quickly adjusts to that new lifestyle and meets people and friends who are just as real as she is and don’t fit the stereotypes that a lot of Hollywood teenagers have and they discover that they have a lot in common.

This show worked real well, because you had real people living in a fictional community ( known as Hollywood ) where most of the people there are allways trying to be someone else and put on a facade. A lot of the characters on that show could’ve easily been from St. Louis, Milwaukee, Cleveland, or Minneapolis as far as who they were and they went through as teenagers growing up. And that is why the Brenda character was so great because she was a real person growing up in a Hollywood community where realness can be looked down upon by people who want to always be fabulous, perfect, and be popular. People who want to be better than real people and never seem vulnerable to anyone or anything.

The other reason why I loved this show was because of Shannen Doherty. I had a crush on her, I don’t think she was the prettiest girl from the entire series. Jennie Garth was more beautiful during the high school years and I believe Tiffany Thiessen was the best looking woman on the show for the entire series. But Shannen, was the cutest girl on the show and sexiest girl as well at least during the high school years. She wasn’t just a denim diva on that show, ( before that term was even invented ) but she was a Levi’s denim diva who was a Goddess in those skin-tight Levi’s jeans and always wore beautiful western boots with them with tight tops or blouses. I couldn’t wait to watch the show especially just to check her out especially during the first 3 seasons. This show and Shannen Doherty, certainly made high school more interesting for me and I have her to thank for that.

I first came across Elisabeth Shue in in 1987 or 88 when I was 11-12 years old and I saw her in Adventures in Babysitting. Which I think was her first major role, but I’m sure others know that better than me. Saw her in Cocktail with Tom Cruise and Bryan Brown which came out a year after in 1988. Leaving Las Vegas from 1995 with Nicholas Cage. And then she sort of had a drought after that, or at least I wasn’t seeing her in anything or seeing any of her roles. And sort of has a comeback role with CSI Las Vegas in late 2011 where she replaces Marg Helgenberger as the deputy director of that CSI office on in Las Vegas.

CSI is a great fictional law enforcement show and I believe the best cop show since the original Law & Order show from the 1990s. And that even includes Law & Order SVU and is a great network show that is actually worth watching. They deal with very serious issues and crimes with most of those crimes being murder and yet have a real lighter side and streak with their cast and writing. With very funny people on that show and not just Ted Danson, but Elisabeth Shue, Wallace Langham and others. And the team on that show gives the impression that the like each other, like working with each other, and like joking around with each other. The Ted Danson and Lis Shue characters, have a long history with each other pre-Las Vegas and have great chemistry together.

I wasn’t a major viewer of CSI before Liz Shue came to the show in late 2011 and started catching it on reruns on USA a year later or so and noticed she was not only on the show, but Marg Helgenberger was gone who was obviously one of the best people and characters on that show, but with her leaving and Lis Shue coming on, the show definitely changed. Not saying it became better or worst, but certainly different. I believe Ted Danson and Lis Shue, give CSI a comedic touch that it perhaps didn’t have before. People who not only work hard, are dedicated to their jobs, and are very good at their jobs, but also know how to have a good time, notice the stupid and ridiculous and are able to make fun of it in an intelligent way. And with them together the show is just more entertaining.

Not to take anything away from Bill Peterson and Marg Helgenberger, who were both major parts of the early success of CSI and big part why this franchise is so successful and why CBS has been so dominant as a network the last 15-20 years, but Ted Danson and Lis Shue, both have strong comedic and dramatic backgrounds. I mean Ted Danson, was the star of two of the most popular sitcoms ever with Cheers and Becker and was very funny and great in both roles. As well as several successful movie comedies. And a lot of Lis Shue’s background in movies have been in comedy. And they both have strong dramatic backgrounds as well and combine both genres very well into one role.

I just love watching and listening to Elisabeth Shue on CSI. She has that great voice, face, and personality, sense of humor, that almost makes her seem like a kid and immature, because she’s so adorable physically and personally and yet she’s also a hell of an actress, very funny and great to look at. Gorgeous, very tight body, generally wearing tight outfits of the show. Tight blouse or short tight t-shirt, short jackets, and tight denim jeans and boots. Who even with her adorable presence and persona, is not someone you want to mess with, because she can kick your ass.

Ted Danson and Lis Shue, aren’t CSI Las Vegas all by themselves, they’re just the two main stars of that show. Perhaps what the show is built around. George Eads, Jorja Fox, Elisabeth Harnois, and others are important as well. I already mentioned Wallace Langham, but Jaclyn Smith ( from Charlie’s Angels ) is a great guest star as Langham’s mother. I just believe the show is better with Danson and Shue, than it was with Peterson and Helgenberger. Even though you could have a great debate about with woman is better looking, Marg Helgenberger a gorgeous sexy redhead, or Lis Shue, a gorgeous sexy blonde, but that’s for a different debate.

 

A&E: Longmire- Katee Sackhoff’s Striptease

“Katee Sackhoff- “Longmire” striptease. Sexy deputy Katee stripping to get info on a suspect.”

From A&E

I guess I got into Longmire accidentally. I’m sure I saw advertising for it before I decided to start watching it every Sunday night for the first three seasons, but didn’t think much of it at first. Until I was flipping around one late night and caught this show again accidentally which can happen when you’re up late and not sleepy and kind of bored with nothing else to do. And I ran into Longmire and saw a scene with Deputy Vic Moretti ( played by Katee Sackhoff ) going through hotel rooms looking for either a suspect for evidence. This was the first season back in 2012 and I was thinking this is a beautiful, sexy cop, in a tight western cop outfit, kicking ass. This show might be worth watching.

Longmire is a lot more than just one gorgeous, sexy cop, who wears a tight blouse, skin-tight western denim jeans, that look like they’re as tight as steel, with western boots. With a beautiful body, who also happens to be adorable with a very sweet voice and smile. Longmire really is a great cop show. But let’s just say the show was either mediocre or cheesy, but with a great lead actress who is also very sexy who is always wearing the outfit I just described and always on the move or kicking ass in that sheriff’s outfit, I would still watch it loyally, just as long as Katee Sackhoff or whoever that actress is for that show is a major player on it. Just to check her out, unless my girlfriend or wife knew why I was watching Longmire and was with me at the time. Then I would just check out my romance partner instead.

As I said before, Longmire is a great show. It’s not just Katee Sackhoff kicking ass in skin-tight jeans and boots or doing other sexy activities, like I don’t know performing at the local bar and doing something like a striptease in her sheriff’s outfit. Robert Taylor does a great job as Sheriff Longmire. Lou Diamond Phillips ( as Longmire’s informant and occasional partner ) is also great on the show. Katee is more than just sexy eye candy on the show and does a great job as well. The writing is good and at times even very funny. The plots are good and gives people the impression that even though the show takes place in the middle of nowhere American-Indian country in Wyoming where there’s more cattle than humans in the town and county, there’s actual real crime that happens there with real criminals, that you need a real credible and qualified police department to deal with it successfully.

But what got my attention initially with Longmire, was Katee Sackhoff who I never heard of before Longmire, I guess I’m just not that much of a sci-fi fan and never watched Battlestar Galactica. But again I first saw Longmire because I was flipping around one late might and ran into it and noticed Katee Sackhoff who I didn’t know of previous and never even heard the name before. The name alone got to me about her because it’s so interesting and very ethnic. Perhaps Germanic or Northern Slavic and looking at her face I could believe either. And then I watch her on that show and started researching it to see what’s it about and when the show will be on again, etc so I can watch it again.

Longmire to me represents what great shows look like that you don’t just have to go for substance and just make your show about great acting, writing, storytelling, but with very plain looking people on it who at least dress very plainly or perhaps aren’t very sexy at all physically. Similar to shows like Law & Order SVU, Chicago PD, CSI Las Vegas, and other shows like that you can have great shows that have a lot of substance in it, but that also bring men and women’s attention to it because they want to check out the beautiful sexy people on it, while they’re also looking at the great show and hearing the great writing and delivery on it. Which is why Longmire is a great show, because it has great substance and style.
