Back In The Game on ABC Wednesdays

The high point of last week's new shows for me was BACK IN THE GAME on ABC. It stars James Caan as a curmudgeony, baseball loving father of grown divorced daughter with a son returning to live with him.

Yes, it's another show about a grown child returning to her parent's home, but this one actually works. The cast is great and the characters querky. It brings to mind THE BAD NEWS BEARS all grown up, right down to James Caan at his grandsons baseball game with a can of beer in a brown paper bag. 

It's on Wednesday nights,check your local listings. I mean it!

If you missed the first episode of BACK IN THE GAME you can get the full episode online.

Magic City Returns to Starz June 14th

Magic City is returning to Starz Friday June 14th. It looks like the new season will be taking us to Cuba and giving us a lot more screen time with James Caan (Sy Berman).

Based on this first look at Season 2 clip Ike is feeling pretty guilty about the damage he has caused but isn't even considering throwing in the towel. Things are sure to heat up with Ike Evans (Jeffery Dean Morgan) trying to not only disentangle himself from the tentacles of Ben Diamond (Danny Houston) but also taking over at least some of his business.
