Breaking In

I was one of those people who were devastated to hear that Breaking In had been cancelled after it's initial run.  I joined the 'Save Braking In' Facebook page and watched endless reruns, mainly for the fabulous antics of Michael Rosenbaum.


The great news is that after being ressurected from the dead 'Breaking In' will air again in the states in 2 weeks - the devastating news is that they will do it with out Micheal's insane character 'Dutch'.  My elation has plummeted as I looked at the cast photo this morning and realised my favourite was missing.   Due to the studios stuffing around they have lost Michael who is committed to directing a movie he has written - great for Michael - dreadful for us.  Who knew Lex Luthor would be such a comic genius - I hope he doesn't stay behind the camera too long.


They have added a new cast member - Megan Mullally (Will & Grace) so we'll just have to wait and see if it lives up to expectation.

BREAKING NEWS for Breaking In

IT'S BACK!!  Looks like we've done it - power to the people and kudos to 'Save Breaking In' facebook page and all the other avenues that fought for this show.

This is the second improbable return for Breaking In. 
Despite raking as Fox’s highest testing pilot back in 2009, the network passed.  In a clever move Sony kept the project alive by extending the options on the cast. Fox then ordered 2 additional scripts, and in November, the network gave Breaking In a seven-episode midseason order, but in May the network canceled the show before it had finished its run. Sony once again fought on. And, in a promising sign that the network had faith in the show and was open to reconsidering its decision, it joined Sony TV in shouldering the cost for extending the cast’s options and then put Breaking In on the list of contenders for its 2-hour midseason comedy block.
By surviving cancellation twice, Breaking In would join Family Guy as the only shows ever to do it.

The entire cast is expected to come back, including Odette Annable, who recently joined House as a new regular with a deal that includes provisions allowing her to also appear on Breaking In.

What a privilege it is to have Christian Slater back on our screens and if he doesn't sell it for you - watch it to see Michael Rosenbaum's genius turn as Dutch.  You won't regret it.

Slaughter On TV

 During the week we heard the devastating news that 'Breaking In' had been cancelled by Fox.  Just as we fell for the show they pulled it out from under us, and they weren't the only ones - Brothers & Sisters and V: have both been axed by the ABC. They have  also pulled the plug on, No Ordinary Family, Off the Map, Detroit 187 and Mr. Sunshine.  No wonder Matthew's gone back to rehab!!

Personally I'm rather miffed that we won't be able to watch Martin Henderson take his shirt off in 'Off The Map' any more.  Surely it was worth another season just for that.

While I was still reeling from all this news we found out that 'Breaking In' may just have a chance to continue.  The powers that be are in talks to try to save the show.  Now if we could just get Martin Henderson a gig on 'Breaking In' all would be sweet.

Breaking In....

Smallville may be drawing to an end but at least we still get Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) - Breaking In is fast becoming a favourite not least because of the hilarious 'Dutch' played by Michael. 



This clip will give you an idea of Dutch's charms plus you get some classic Christian Slater and even a guest appearence by an old friend...
Next weeks episode sees the team at Comic Con keeping safe a copy of the new movie 'Goonies 2'.  What I'm really looking forward to is the show's nod to Smallville and Michael's character.  Apparently Dutch buys himself a t-shirt at Comic Con.....  check it out.  GOLD!!

Lex Does Dutch.

BREAKING IN is on tonight's menu at my place - the first episode has aired and I'm looking forward to seeing an old friend in a new role.


Here is Michael Rosenbaum (Lex Luthor) talking about his character 'Dutch'....

Breaking In

Breaking In is a new comedy that has just been picked up by the Fox network.  It stars Christian Slater!  Yes - he of the stunningly romantic 'Bed of Roses', one of my favourite 90's films - 'Pump Up The Volume' , 'Heathers' and 'Interview With A Vampire' to name just a few of his gems.  That quirked eyebrow and his numerous brushes with the law defined the 90's for me.


I was keen to give 'Breaking In' a viewing on his name alone but the reason it originally appealed to me is the casting of Michael Rosenbaum - or Lex Luthor.  Originally supposed to be a guest appearance, his performance was so well received by audiences that they have signed Michael up as a regular.  I'm very much looking forward to seeing Michael in a different role, but I am even more curious to see him with hair after 10 years of playing the very bald Lex.
