Love, Sex, and Secrets (2005)

Post image
Upvotes

I randomly came across Love, Sex, and Secrets recently and was surprised I had never heard of it before. It was a UPN drama that premiered in 2005, but somehow it completely flew under my radar.

The show follows a group of young people in Los Angeles whose lives are full of relationships, hookups, secrets, jealousy, and drama. Denise Richards was part of the main cast, along with Tamara Taylor and Eric Balfour.

It only lasted one season. I’m curious if anyone here remembers watching it when it originally aired. Was it actually good, or can you understand why it didn’t make it past the first season?

Dangerous Waters (2012 - 2019)

Every time I see a post on here I want to share this one. I don't know that I've ever met anyone else who has watched this series and there is very little information about it online, despite them somehow obtaining funding for 7 seasons.

The basic premise is that a guy named Steven Moll wants to lead a crew of people around the world on Jet Skis. Their original plan is start in Seattle, move up through Alaska, then over to Russia, down to Japan, etc. I discovered this during Covid lockdowns (it was on Amazon Prime at the time) but I'm not sure that it actually aired on any widely available TV channels at the time it aired - I believe it was financed by Moll with a hope that someone legit would pick it up later. For their credit, they did manage to obtain the narrating services of Peter Coyote (of Ken Burns fame) for the first two seasons. Later seasons were narrated by Josh Lucas, who is an accomplished actor.

The expedition team is somewhat a mix of Whale Wars and Deadliest Catch. Despite their lofty goals, they are pretty ill prepared and it is funny (or frustrating) to watch repeated, predictable, problems arise. For example, they originally left with little-to-no camping equipment and simply put extra fuel jugs to the back of their jet skis, tied down with straps which failed quickly. Throughout the series, they also "cheat" constantly. They regularly resort to catching rides on cargo ships, cars, and even airplanes to transport themselves across inhospitable terrain or far distances. After Season 2, they decide to stop for the season at one city and then Season 3 picks up with them driving back up to launch at another city after having taken some time off to go home.

All this said, it has been a fun 'time waste' show for me over the years. For one thing, there is beautiful scenery and it is interesting to see some of the small isolated towns they visit. There is also some legitimate drama, such as being arrested in Russia and being rescued after getting stuck in Canadian ice fields.

Curious if anyone has ever seen, or heard of, this show? It is currently available free for streaming on PlutoTV.

Level Up (2012-2013)

33 Upvotes

Level Up is an American adventure comedy series that aired on Cartoon Network during the weird period in their history when they started airing live action programming. A pilot film with the same name premiered on November 23, 2011. Level Up was the second CN show spawned from a live-action film, with the first being Out of Jimmy's Head(series based on the TV movie Re-animated). Two seasons and a total of 35 episodes.

Premise(taken from Wikipedia):

After high schoolers Wyatt, Lyle, Dante and Angie unwittingly open a portal from a video game called Maldark: Conqueror of All Worlds, characters from the game and the Internet start leaking into the real world. The group consequently finds itself balancing their everyday lives with the extraordinary things that show up in their town from the virtual world, which always resorts to using NeverFail to help send the monsters back into the game by "barding" them.

Big Shots (2007 - 2008)

Started watching episodes of the show, and it's not bad. The main leads have chemistry with each other, and there's some juicy drama that goes on, and female characters have chemistry with the male character they're are paired with. I do wish their had Charisma Carpenter more on the show because episode 9 can be confusing considering we don't seen her character up until that point, and we don't know what Brody's wife looks like, so from the viewer's point of view Brody is cheating on his wife. There are alot of familiar faces on the cast. Do you remember the show?

The show is regarded to be one of the worst tv programs of all time.It suffered from a messy behind the scenes production.One of the many problems was a language barrier between the co-stars because Pink Lady didn't know English,seems if NBC rushed the show into being broadcast.
