Big Shots

The new show for Thursday night is Big Shots. They are building Big Shots as the male Sex and the City. Hmm maybe but probably not. There are four main male characters who are CEOs of different companies. James Auster (Michael Vartan), Duncan Collingsworth (Dylan McDermott), Brody Johns (Christopher Titus) & Karl Mixworthy (Joshua Malina). We first meet these gentleman at a golf course country club fundraising event.

James is happily married to his wife which he met first day of freshman year of college. At the fundraiser his boss tells James that he will be fired tomorrow when the boss lets the board of directors know. At the fundraiser the boss is ran over by a golf cart and his killed so James goes back to work as normal. The boss' funeral James discovers that his happy marriage may not be so happy when he find out his wife was having an affair with the boss. James then goes into an interview for the CEO position and gets the job. James does have a shoulder to cry on co-worker, Katie Graham (Nia Long).

Duncan is probably the Samantha Jones character of this group. At the fundraiser he is having sex with his ex-wife, Lisbeth (Paige Turco) in the wine cellar. Apparently they get along better since they have been divorced. They also have a 19-year old daughter, Cameron ( Peyton List) who just recently dropped out of college. Duncan gives her a job at his company as a gopher to prove to her that she needs an education. His daughter dropping out of college is not his biggest problems. A nosey reporter is trying to dig up some dirt on Duncan. Awhile back Duncan was arrested in Yonkers for "getting a hummer from a tranny" yes those trannys are back again. This tranny actually looked like a tranny. Duncan's mission is to bribe the tranny from talking to the reported but the reporter got to the tranny first.

Brody was the least developed character of the episode. He sent the whole episode trying to get things organized for his wife's birthday party. So pretty much Brody is very whipped.

Karl is unhappily married to Wendy (Amy Sloan) and he is having an affair with interior-designer Marla (Jessica Collins). Karl tries on many occasions to break things off with Marla but with no success. Karl and Wendy are seeing a couples counselor. Marla also wants to go to couples counseling and they end up going to the same counselor that Karl and Wendy are seeing. Karl when trying again to break it up with Marla she runs off. When Karl gets home he find Marla in his living room talking to his wife. Marla did not tell Wendy about the affair but has come on Karl's request to redecorate their house!

I don't know about this one. I'll probably keep watching it but if I miss it, not a big deal. What is with ABC are they obsessed with trannys?
