Heh. I was tickled to see today that Court TV (btw, what’s up with that new identity? Is that a barcode?) had picked up the syndication rights for the first (and only) series of “Fastlane”. It was an interesting coincidence that I caught this just as I had started re-reading some of my older posts.
So, a year later, my thoughts on this series still stand. Frankly, I think (while the cheese factor is off the charts) it still kicks ass. I mean, who doesn’t love Bill Bellamy and Tiffany “Dropped-the-Amber” Thiessen? Come on.
I often find myself wondering why it that some of the most interesting shows never manage to make it out of the first season, yet drivel like “Friends” and “Everybody Loves Raymond” goes on for years and years.
Sure, it would get tired pretty quickly… but they could have at least gone for one more season. Maybe create some interesting story arch, and kill everyone off at the end.
Ah well. So it goes.
