Alright, alright, alright!
The cast of “Dazed and Confused” is reuniting to raise money for get-out-the-vote initiatives in Texas.
Original cast members Matthew McConaughey, Ben Affleck, Parker Posey, Jason London, Joey Lauren Adams, Adam Goldberg, Anthony Rapp, Rory Cochrane, Marissa Ribisi, Cole Hauser, Deena Martin, Esteban Powell, Christine Harnos, Wiley Wiggins, Michelle Burke, Mark Vandermeulen, Sasha Jenson, Jeremy Fox, Christin Hinojosa, Catherine Morris and Nicky Katt will come together virtually on Oct. 11 for a livestream script reading of Richard Linklater’s iconic 1993 stoner film.
Patton Oswalt is set to moderate a Q&a following the reading.
Money raised will benefit March for Science and the Voto Latino Foundation’s efforts to promote voting in Texas in the upcoming election. Once a Republican stronghold, Democrats believe they can turn the state blue on Nov. 3.
Texas does not allow voters to use Covid-19 as a reason to use a mail-in ballot.

For the really smart ones out there, have you ever wished you were a little dumber so things would be a little simpler?
That is the (not so medical) conundrum that tonight's episode of House raises, and on its Thanksgiving episode at that. On "Ignorance is Bliss" House (Hugh Laurie) and the team take on the case of James Sidas on the eve of Thanksgiving. James (guest star Esteban Powell) is an exceptionally brilliant physicist and author who has decided to trade his successful career for a job as a courier. For him, intelligence is a miserable burden that has prompted depression and addiction, plus a lot of strange symptoms, that have so far baffled the team (but that's not anything new).

A&E has decided to get rid of another original drama series. After two years on the air, they're dropping The Cleaner.
In The Cleaner, Benjamin Bratt plays William Banks, a recovering drug addict from Los Angeles. Following the birth of his daughter, Banks made a deal with God that he would end his drug use and help others beat their addictions as well. He and his team of recovering addicts use whatever means necessary to help end others' addictions. Others in the cast include Grace Park, Esteban Powell, Kevin Michael Richardson, Amy Price-Francis, Liliana Mumy, and Brett DelBuono.
The drama kicked off on July 15, 2008 and attracted 2.58 million viewers with a 1.0 rating in the 18-49 demo. Season one averaged 1.1 million viewers in initial viewings and 4.2 million through multiple airings. A&E boasted that The Cleaner was the network's highest rated...

It’s a testament to the star power and likability of Benjamin Bratt that The Cleaner is as compelling for as long as it is, which is however long it takes for the audience to realize how retrograde the show is in its political worldview. That may come in the pilot episode, when a confrontation between a teenage junkie and his concerned friend reads like it was written for an after school special, or later in the first season, when the results of drug addiction start to read like a laundry list of symptoms prophesied in Reefer Madness (death, bugged-out eyes, and lost teeth are all present here), but it will happen. This sort of nostalgia for the past in terms of drug politics keeps the show from ever getting the credibility required to merit the critical buzzwords such as “bold” and “gripping” that the show is so clearly gunning...
