Quite possibly everything that is wrong with America can be summed up with how the charachters act in the MTV reality television show “The City.”
I only bring this up because I just got an e-mail that a recent episode of the show was about “The Hamptons.”
Many city tourists that come out to the Hamptons wonder why locals can’t stand them. Locals come up with names like, citiot, summer people, moron, *$$hole, etc… and certain city people think to themselves, “Why would anybody say that about me? I’m wonderful.”
Well, if there is anything good about the recent episode of “The City” it is a picture perfect, scientific example of what it means to be a “Citiot.”
If you’re from the city and reading this please start taking notes and watch this episode and then make it a point to act the exact opposite of how these people act while spending a weekend out here.
And while I’m on this subject, New York Magazines portrayal of what to do and not to do while out in “The Hamptons” is embarassing. I really am just stupified that New York Magazine stooped down to the same level as “The City.” I’m not kidding you, this is an exerpt from the New York Magazine article which explains “what to do and not to do in the Hamptons.”
Lesson 6: Facial hair.
Don’t: Grow a goatee if you can’t. Harry has a horrible start to a goatee on his chin. It looks like he rubbed oil around his mouth and then dipped his face in instant coffee.
Do: Experiment with stubble if Attracting Whitney Port is on your list of things to do. Naturally Whitney, who dated Jay the Barbarian, is drawn to Harry Coffeeface.
Just shoot me directly in the face, please.

The American Dream Show with Ingrid Lemme and guest Gary Vaynerchuk, who is one of the coolest dudes in the world when it comes to wine, made for an excellent interview at Gurney’s Inn. How Ingrid gets the energy to pull off so many of these shows is beyond us.
You can view the whole interview by clicking here.

I’m just gonna say it because it needs to be said. Royal Pains sucked last night and the episode before. Nobody cares about rich people’s kids getting sick. It really isn’t that interesting. They need to find this show new direction or it is going to get the boot.
And by the way, Hank’s insecurity/charm looks idiotic. He should be pompous and tougher.

It is my personal belief that the second part/episode of a trilogy/series tends to be a let-down: I think the second Harry Potter is the worst of the seven, Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back is in my mind far inferior to the other two originals, et cetera. I was willing to attribute my “Sophomore Slump” theory to Royal Pains last week when I was disappointed by the second episode, and so I was waiting impatiently to prove myself right because a)I thought I might be onto something thesis-worthy and b)I really wanted to like it.
But I kind of thought it was a little lame again. To be honest, I actually kept falling asleep during the show last night (don’t worry, I’ve caught up..) Firstly the opening scene with the dog-walker… really? reeeallly? Just me or a little contrived? And the “get me a towel and something sharp”-type lines are getting slightly repetitive and even less credible (but that’s probably just me.)
But then again, parts of it were still cool. Seeing all of the sites we’re so used to passing by all the time hasn’t really got old yet, at least not for me. And not everything is that far-fetched: the whole not-noticing-a-deer-tick-until-you’re-half-paralysed-thing is totally feasable out here.
I really, really want to like this show. I’m thinking/hoping maybe they just need a couple of episodes to get the hang of things and that they’ll come back and knock us off our feet some Thursday soon..
Anyway, if you missed last night’s episode, here it is:
(By the way, is it just me or are is these maybe the strangest opening titles ever??)

We checked out Royal Pains last night and have to say that it wasn’t quite as good as the show’s opening pilot episode. But we’re still on its side.
If you missed the episode, you can watch the full episode at Hulu.com by clicking here. or you can watch it below in the player we embedded. It’s up to you. We offer options here baby!
Did you like it?

Just got this e-mail from our Publisher Bob Edelman.
Subject: Royal Pains
The pilot for the new series airs Thursday at 10PM on USA network – we signed a release with them to be able to use Dan’s Papers as set dressing, so with a little luck they will do just that. No guarantees of course, but I’m going to watch just the same. Thought you might be interested.
Check out the pilot and spot the newspaper!

Yes they did.
On Tuesday, The Real Housewives of New York (and the Hamptons) return and according to insiders it will features even more miserablely rich and old house wives yelling, getting drunk and casually insulting the middle class even more this season. The show, which of course shoots in the Hamptons (how could they not?) will certainly draw a womderful amount of positive attention to the “class” that hits our streets in the summer.
You want to embarass yourself for no other reason then attention on television ladies, be our guest. It certainly is fascinating stuff!~
OH WE CAN’T WAIT!
