Fall TV 2008: "Easy Money" Is a Hard Sell

September 29, 2008 at 12:30 PM | by | Comments (2)

Jaunted is planning our fall travel with some help from the networks. Check out our Fall TV 2008 Map to go where your new favorite characters go.

How about a little topical humor? The slimy sorts on "Easy Money" (October 5, 9 pm) are a family of loan sharks who make their living lyin' and cheatin', but always getting out before the bill comes due.

Laurie Metcalf is the matriarch behind Prestige Payday Loans, run day-to-day by her two sons in the "Southwest" town of "South Nile." (Given how hard the housing market has hit the region, we'd place this operation in Stockton or Merced, California, although payday loan operations thrive everywhere.)

Between the law and the competition wrought by the new loan sharks on the block, it's all the Buffkin family can do to keep feeding the beast.

This ne'er-do-well dramedy is part of the CW's attempt to keep itself solvent by selling its Sunday night to Media Rights Capital (producers of "Babel," which resembles "Easy Money" not at all), so don't expect a parade of svelte teens a la "Gossip Girl" or "90210." Just in case you like that sort of thing.

Nice post

I like this story. It's really very interesting and I was pleased by reading it. I'm really glad that I've found your sity, though I'm here by chance. Actually I was looking for the information about same day payday loans but I'm very glad that I found this site. Thank you for sharing!

easy money

It is good that the show was produced in 2008. The family of loan sharks won't be pleased today for sure. There are a lot of opponents of <a href="http://ameriloansearch.com/">paycheck loans</a> and most of states now provide particular laws with the strict measures for the lenders, It seems to me that soon the loan sharks performing easy money will be absolutely pushed out of states and the lawmakers won't even take into account that a lot of people will be left jobless.
