   At first I really hated the show.  I felt it was a real rip-off.
To me, Addison was just a Bill Murray impersonator who not only had
a similar physique, but also had the same style and even used one or
two of the same one-liners.  I even thought the plot was an obvious
copy of "The Main Event" (Barbara Streisand is a big model who gets
ripped off by her business manager and only has one asset left,
ryan oneil (I think) - a fighter who hasn't fought in four years and
who has just been used as a tax write off, etc., etc, etc.)  So I
refused to watch it opposite R. Steele.  But then when it moved to
an hour earlier, I started to watch ( I absolutely can't stand
Rip Tide with that geek who promotes the notion that computers are
*MAGIC* ).  Now I'm glad I did.  I really like it.  Except for a few
episodes, which I thought were a little thin on plot, I've never been
disappointed.  It goes to show you that sometimes first impressions
aren't always the best.
