Rake on FOX:Trailer Release-Money shot at 2:26

[DeeCee]

The American version of the ABC drama Rake has scored a major coup, with inclusion in the 2013/14 line-up on the Fox Network.

Starring Greg Kinnear in the role of Cleaver Greene, for which Richard Roxburgh recently won an AACTA award, the series is one of nine - five comedies and four dramas - ordered by the network.

May this bomb! It has a shot at going down the Smash drain. There is no way that anyone can survive Shitto`s ear-splitting voice and accent for more than few episodes! BOMB SHITTO BOMB! WTF is wrong with Hollywood to give her this show and put he rin 2 movies? Begone! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMB!

Smash lasted two seasons. You want Rake to last that long?

This is going to be so much fun.

Smash would have been cancelled after 5th episode had it been on Fox or some othe rnetwork that performs. Unlike NBC. It also started the hate-watch trend.

 

Fine, may Rake sink as fast as Cashmere Mafia, Shitto`s other bomb. I knew that the ratings for that one would plumet with the second episode cause it was centered around Shitto`s character and since she has incredible ability to be boring and irritating at the same time and nobody knows who the fuck she is the episode nose-dived like a little bitch so I was vindicated. And the show was cancelled after 7th epside. They expected it to become the Next SATC. WTF were they thinking to cast Shitto in anything that`s supposedly sexy? Yeha, she has a long smutography but excessive nudity doesn`t equal sexy. What a _______(imagine the newly banned word).

No reality TV did that. Smash arguable made it popular for scripted shows.

[DAR]

Well there's something to look forward too

[fishstick]

Wake up Hollywood! Shitto sux! She`s 46 years old! If you didn`t want her 10 years ago why now? WHYYYYYYYYYY?

[CoolioD1]

At least Otto is actually appearing in things again so now Fishnets' rants have some kind of relevance.

[fishstick]

Shitto was appearing in things before but they were invisible. Now this crap is going to be visible short-term. BOMB!

 

Anyway, a little bit of trivia. As you all know, Shitto has a dad in Oz movie industry so this is how she managed to get parts. And then she was dating this guy who originated Rake in Oz so he put her in his movies. Her career collapsed after LOTR where she sucked and break-up with Rake dude cause he wouldn`t cast her anymore and the rest of Oz film-makers didn`t care. Plus she ruined LOTR. So I guess she was begging her ex on her knees to put her in Ameircan version of Rake or something cause coincidence is just ridiculous. Pathetic.

Here's a treat for the fans.

If this thing becomes a hit it will be hilarious. Fishnets' internal logic will be talking to itself going

Sam Raimi directed the pilot. I like Greg Kinnear. I've actually got hopes for this one.

[fishstick]

You Shittards are dellusional. Rake is a one-man show. Everyone else is supporting so no way that Shitto would break out. In worst case scenario, she may ride Kinner`s coattails but that`s it. Plus, that vid with Shitto is She`s beyond bland, has X legs as chunky as oakwood and hasn`t aged well. Plus that shrill voice like fork on a glass. MAKE IT STOP!

[Water Bottle]

Yeah, it is a one-man show. Rake is always about Greg Kinnear. That's why most news reports about the show getting picked up only reference him. Miranda Otto is playing his ex-wife.

[Water Bottle]

Here's the trailer for the first season of the Australian version of the show.

 

[fishstick]

How big is Shitto`s role? And how Emmy-baity? Not at all I hope.

[DeeCee]

The character is listed 6th in the original. http://www.abc.net.au/tv/rake/characters/wendy.htmI suspect it will be slightly toned down for network TV in the US. No nipple shots.

[fishstick]

Shitto is a poison. Cashmere Mafia nose-dived when they put her front and center of the second episode promotion. Like, hello, the show where Lucy Liu is the biggest star has its second episode focused on a shrill-voiced, bland faced nobody and then they are baffled it tanked and was cancelled by its 7th episode? Stupid. If Rake is going to highlight Roxburgh`s ex than hasta la vista baby sooner than their worst case scenario assumed.

You have to make a commitment to watch and review in detail every episode. History demands it. A full account must be kept.
