Guest Max Danger Report post Posted April 6, 2003 It premieres April 8th at 10pm EST on FX after the cable premiere of American Pie and will be on every Tuesday at the same time. "Lucky is a comedic romp through gambling and addiction starring "Sex and The City's" John Corbett. Corbett plays a compulsive gambler, Michael "Lucky" Linkletter, who is trying to regain his life after losing a million dollars and his wife." - imdb.com Everyone has seen the promos on FX. Is anyone going to watch it? I think I might give it a try. Might as well. Need something to do after Buffy the Vampire Slayer and 24. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Galactic Gigolo Report post Posted April 6, 2003 Entertainment Weekly said it sucked. I'll give it a chance, but I doubt it'll be any good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest dreamer420 Report post Posted April 6, 2003 I'll give it a chance too. John Corbett is a pretty good actor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 7, 2003 Okay I'm a moron. That wasn't Carlton.....but it looked like him during those quick commercials. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2003 Is anyone watching this? This is hilarious!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2003 It was only 30 minutes!? I was just getting into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest El Satanico Report post Posted April 9, 2003 It was pretty good...It got me to want to come back next week. I "marked" when they played the song Black Betty when he made his entrance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2003 His friend throwing himself in front of those cars had me dying laughing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 9, 2003 I'll take a pass...the guy just comes off too unlikeable and cocky in the previews, I can deal with cocky, but the character seems like a prick also. And I can't deal with both. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaParkaYourCar 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2003 When you actually watch the show he's a pretty cool guy. His wife died and since he was a compulsive gambler he didn't have the money for her funeral so he had to borrow from his in-laws. He tried to find a non-gambling way to raise the money. That was the plot of tonight's episode and will probably have implications on future episodes. He's your typical man with an addiction. He's easy to relate to since we all have some sort of addictions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Your Paragon of Virtue 0 Report post Posted April 9, 2003 The character doesn't have to be your role model. People are different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted April 9, 2003 The character doesn't have to be your role model. People are different. I know, but based on previews I got the "Man, I really don't want to watch this" vibe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Max Danger Report post Posted April 9, 2003 I dug it. Watching his friend throwing himself in front of cars was hilarious, I agree with LaParka there. First I thought he was going to rob the store across the street then... WHAM! He's being hit by a woman. Funny stuff. I'll be watching. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest EQ Report post Posted April 9, 2003 Yeah... I actually loved this show. It reminded me alot of the movie "Rounders", which if you haven't seen, shame on you. I'm going to be watching this show from now on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
