TV musical dramas pretty much stopped with Cop Rock, and I must have missed the clamour for their return. Some of the numbers in Viva Laughlin work better than others. "Viva Las Vegas" and "Sympathy for the Devil" work in an "oh, that's different" kind of way, to introduce the bombastic chara...

Disappointing but not all that surprising: Hugh Jackman’s CBS musical-drama-murder mystery Viva Laughlin debuted to abysmal numbers last night in its “sneak peek” airing, losing 63% of its lead-in CSI audience. Even worse, James Hibberd at TV Week reports that it lost 31% of its audien...
Today came the word that CBS cancelled the Hugh Jackman/casino-themed musical drama. One person tried to pick the show as the word was breaking about its cancellation. Sorry kids, that does not count. Posted by on October 22, 2007 5:35 PM
Viva Laughlin is derived from a six-episode BBC series called Viva Blackpool, which aired in 2004. In this theoretically extended U.S. version (the ratings will have the ultimate say), British actor Lloyd Owen stars as Ripley Holden, whose dream is to run a casino in Laughlin, Nev.
Viva Laughlin asks us to root for Ripley Holden (Lloyd Owen), a pink-cheeked and star-spangled showtime dreamer who has sold a chain of convenience stores to bankroll his very own casino in Laughlin, Nevada. Of course, such innocent ambition is bound to be besieged on all sides—in this ca...

Viva Laughlin, which premieres on CBS October 18th, relocates the action to America's third most visited casino city in southern Nevada. Why Laughlin? Maybe it's because it sounded best in the title, because the city is about as far from being analogous to Blackpool as one could imagin...
There's plenty of plot going on here, with Ripley's neglected wife (Madchen Amick), his children (Carter Jenkins and Ellen Woglom), the investor's widow (Melanie Griffith) and the police detective (Eric Winter) trying to solve the murder. But none of it is interesting.

Earlier in the fall I suggested that Viva Laughlin, which debuted last night on CBS, would be the new show "most likely to make me cry and go running to finally buy a region-free DVD player," because it's a remake of the BBC miniseries Blackpool (called Viva Blackpool when it aired on BBC Ame...

Blackpool was kitsch, over-the-top, wonderfully acted - Sarah Parish, David Tennant and John Thompson were also in the cast - and gloriously addictive. In short, it was everything that Viva Laughlin, described last week by the New York Times as the "possibly the worst show in the history...
Viva Laughlin is Casino meets Push, Nevada meets Moulin Rouge. It’s a mystery drama with music about eternal optimist and freewheeling businessman Ripley Holden whose sole ambition is to run a casino in Laughlin, Nevada. VIVA LAUGHLIN will premiere this Fall, Sundays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/...
At home, Ripley has to deal with the demands of his family, his wife Natalie (Madchen Amick) who wants more attention, teenaged daughter Cheyenne (Ellen Woglom) who wants her father to approve of her, and son Jack (Carter Jenkins) who wants to work with his father.
Premiering last Thursday, Viva Laughlin boasted movie stars (Hugh Jackman and Melanie Griffith, both of whom were to appear on a recurring basis—Jackman was also an executive producer)—and an A-list soundtrack (Elvis, the Rolling Stones, etc.).
