LEVERAGE #405 prep QOTD

SETTING: ART DEPARTMENT & PROPS MEETING

PROPS: So it's like a children's collage.
JOHN: Exactly. Why don't we have some actual local children do it, tell them the best one will be on the show?
PROPS: That's technically child labor.
JOHN: America was built on child labor.
LINE PRODUCER: How about having some hospice kids do it?
JOHN: Sure, they have more spare time. And tell them it'll live on in the show. It'll give them hope, before they go off to live in Santa & Puppies Forever Land, or whatever story we tell sick kids about Heaven.
(Silence. Then crying.)
JOHN: Oh, first time you worked with me. Right. Sorry.

    Ya know, it's hard to hide playing on the internet at work when you make me laugh. If I get fired for this, can I come work for you?

  5. Is this the result of drinking too much Guinness, not enough Guinness, or just the right amount of Guinness?

  6. This is why, when my friend (who is visiting family in Portland) offered to try to get Leverage autographs for my birthday, I said, "If you can only get one before they arrest you for trespassing, get John Rogers."

    You're probably safe off-set, anyway, but just in case, could you sign her notebook before you call security?

    When I'm sitting in the coffee shop reading on my computer, laughing out loud is not such a good thing. Can't help it though. I always get "the look".

    There is a line between pragmatism and cruelty. And brother, you cozy up to that line like Robert Evans to an drunken ingenue.
    Seriously, man. Welcome back to the internets. We've missed you.

  15. SNORK!

    One more reason to look forward to the next season:

    On the way home yesterday, I passed a sign nailed up on a pole. Big arrow, and LEVERAGE on in, rightside-up and upside-down, so the arrow can point either way.

    I'm guessing it pointed to a filming location. I won't say where, and I sure as hell wouldn't go poking my nose there myself, but I DO look forward to seeing how the _____ office park area gets used on the show.

  17. Leverage story pitch: The team goes after a TV showrunner who's known for abusing his writers, production team, and actors. He's even conned hospice kids into working for him for free...

    wimbittworld -- "Love Leverage?" It seems moot to laud anything LEVERAGE-related. Basically a cheap knock-off of the British series HUSTLE, with poorer writing, acting, and directing.

    It's great to see original programming like MAD MEN, BREAKING BAD, and DAMAGES on cable. But LEVERAGE? What a horrible piece of disposable programming. The "Oscar Curse" has fully-consumed Timothy Hutton. I imagine his next series will feature him with Mira Sorvino.

  27. Anonymous, it also seems moot to come onto Rogers' blog just to slam his show without having the stones to use your name.

    Just sayin'.

    To the point -- it seems more and more wonderful that John can be called, with sincerity, "Mr. Rogers".

    Well, if a vegetarian is someone who eats vegetables, then...

  32. @Jonathan S, I've often wondered if that's what Humanitarian means.

    I also wonder if Telekinesis and Psychokinesis mean the same thing, then is a Telepath the same thing as a Psychopath? And if so, is that why they hear voices?

  33. Dear John,
    I think I love you!
    You are as cool as Kripke used to be before he, well, wasn't.

  35. Now *that's* comedy.

    Seriously though, sounds like my high school student center (a/k/a study hall/student lounge/place to skip class for teh nerds).

    I think Mr. Rogers would fit right in at any job I've ever had.

    That might explain some of the hated looks from HR though.

    Could you please kill off the Parker-Hardison romance in the show completely? They better act as siblings, friends than as any kind of romantic partners. Please.

    Just read something about season 4. Nate will be reluctant to deal with Sophie because they slept together. Something like that. If I may comment. I don't understand why exactly Nate would be hesitant to be with Sophie, she's always been there for him, they both love each other and she's hot. I don't get it. If anyone, Sophie would be hesitant because of the drinking part, not because they finally slept together, they both wanted that since forever. This was the worst way you could've gotten them together. It's like giving the audience something but not really. You don't care about Nate and Sophie seems to me. Yeah get them both drunk, that's the way to do it. Why can't you do it right with these two characters?
