DISQUS

Pop Critics: “The Cleaner” premieres tonight on A&E

    It might have more of a life because it's on cable, but I didn't know what the plot was until now. Sounds strange.

    And don't you mean, Sharon “Boomer” “Athena” Agathon Valerii / Dean Stockwell's love puppet.

    That's why I married you.

    Point!

    I mentioned to my wife this might be good and suprisingly she said yes. Now I have to fit this in b/t catching up with Heroes, Weeds, watching Dan in Real Life.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    At least Dan in Real Life is a movie...

    But I gotta catch up with Dexter too, and possibly Mad Men.

    I'm sorry. I like Benjamin Bratt (I even liked E-Ring), but this show won't make it half a season. Even the commercials bore me to tears.

    That's why you were crying last night...I was wondering.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    No, he was upset about SYTYCD
  • daddyjason · 1 year ago
    Why must it be one or the other?

    I totally forgot to Tivo this - thanks for the reminder!!
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    That's what we're here for ;)
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    What to say...um...my friend's working on the show so I'm watching in solidarity. Plus to quote Kenneth the NBC Page...

    "Grace Park!"
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Good enough for me!
  • NOT · 1 year ago
    Does anyone know the name of the song/artist near the end of the pilot episode?
  • BIM · 1 year ago
    Clean by Depeche Mode or Mad World sung by Gary Jules (written by the band Tears for Fears)... ??

    I didn't see the episode, but these songs have been mentioned in discussions about the show.

    Hope that helps...
  • Dadofiandi · 1 year ago
    Have this dvr'd will have to watch it, esp since dig the fact they used Mad World, although I am partial to the original.

    After more searching, I believe it is "Waiting For My Real Life To Begin" by Colin Hay.
  • R.A. Porter · 1 year ago
    Ouch. Man, that makes me feel old. It is Colin Hay's "Waiting for my Real Life to Begin". You might recognize the song from the episode "My Philosophy" of Scrubs (S02E13) where it was sung by Jill Tracy and the cast.

    You might know Colin Hay as the former lead singer of Aussie superstars Men at Work. I hope.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    I like Colin Hay, had no idea who he was :)
  • NOT · 1 year ago
    I know men at work, but didn't recognize the name.
    I'm sure your no older than me.
    Do you know Joe Bonammasa?
    Man I love the blues!

    -------------- Original message --------------
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    No, not really...my musical knowledge compared to most people's is like the size of a grape next to a watermelon.
  • NOT · 1 year ago
    I liked the show!
    Perhaps it's because the subject matter hits so close to home.
    I think with a little patience, it'll pick up speed ;-) and become a hit.
    I'm looking forward to the next episode.
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    Wow, high praise...maybe I need to check it out. I didn't get a chance to watch it last night.
  • MAKMARC · 1 year ago
    A hit just like the homerun to win the MLB all star game this will be a winner for B. BRATT and for viewers it has all the emotions covered strongly. This is what makes SUPER TUESDAY
  • Mike Olbinski · 1 year ago
    You must have been switching back and forth between Cleaner and the all-star game :)

    Nice comparison, lol :)
  • NOT · 1 year ago
    Thanks for the help!
    I have never heard of Colin Hay before, but I like this song, and have no doubt I will listen to more of his stuff.
    Good stuff, Thanks.........
