This is the way things go down around CliqueClack: words make their way around in round-table discussions between CC’s writers, and things just naturally begin to happen.
We have the uncanny ability to predict celebrity demise. (Example: Michael Jackson. Don’t ask; you don’t want to know.)
Some of us have the forethought to figure what’s going to happen on a show well before the actual event(s) takes place. (Example: Keith called out The Event.)
We can predict, with regularity, the writing on the wall when it comes to shows that just aren’t going to cut it.
The latest proof? The rumored craptastic writing afforded the new and upcoming Wonder Woman series. Our own Ivey West has been corralling everyone to his side of the field about the WW writers having nothing but schlock for storyline.
And lo and behold, now the official word comes out that there have been massive, monster rewrites to the scripts. No more “Diana crying, moping over ice cream, and hunching in a fetal position.” (Can you imagine anyone putting stuff like that in the script? Seriously?)
Bottom line: Ivey speaks, people listen. I’m just truth speakin’ here.
If this latest bit of revelation about CliqueClack doesn’t convince you of our writer’s uncanny clairvoyance, then your brain has simply absorbed too much Oprah for your own good.

And no: To my knowledge, the photo above is not a current picture of Mr. West.
(Unknown, however, is if it may be one hanging on his wall ala The Picture Of Dorian Gray. Best you ask that question of him directly.)
And here I was going to ask how you managed to get a picture of my twin brother?
(Not that I have a twin brother. I also have no comment on the The Picture of Dorian Gray question … I will direct all questions to my new publicist, Mr. Michael Noble).
Hey, Ivey … didn’t you also call the demise of Lone Star before it aired even though most critics just adored it?
I think a lot of the commoners saw that coming. Who would want to watch a show about some guy robbing people through schemes when we can just turn the news on and see GE, BP and so on doing that to us.
Mayhab, mayhab not …
I previewed the pilot for CliqueClack, and got lambasted on Twitter and elsewhere for my thoughts. I think, at one point, one of the writers of the show even Tweeted some very “constructive” criticism of my opinions.
Oh Great Guru Dorv:
Who will win the 2012 Presidential election?
Forget the Presidential election … who will win the Kentucky Derby? At least then if I lose, I knew how much was on the line when I placed the bet. Choose the wrong President and you don’t know how much it will cost you.
Hey – Since I have access to TV Guru(s) here…what happened to that sitcom that premired after Idol? Can I give you the name? Silly to even ask. Of course not.
There were 5 main characters. One single British guy (or could have been from down under. Who knows. They all sound alike to me) Two couples. One living together, he, a geek type, her, someone with a spending problem. The other couple were married and had a kid. Anything? Anyone? It thought it had potential.
Sounds like a description of Traffic Light. One of the numerous tri-couple comedies that came out this year. IMO, it’s decent, but it’s almost definitely not getting renewed. New episodes are still airing though on Tuesday nights and are available to watch on Hulu.
Thanks so much. I’ll check it out. Didn’t they say Seinfeld wouldn’t get renewed? Just say’n
Oh…and if you know what it is, will it make it?

You don’t need Ivey to answer that one, Lois.
It was called Traffic Light. The link below will take you to the reviews from Rachel.

Cool! Thanks
Thanks, Michael!! Lois, I didn’t really like the show, though I gave it the ol’ college try.
A show that I think is much better is Happy Endings, which is on ABC at 10pm on Wednesdays.
I just want the damned Lotto numbers and I’ll shut up.
