  • Basic cable series draws serious numbers with sheer badassery


    We're big fans of FX's biker crime drama "Sons of Anarchy" here at Dangerous Days, so it's good news to hear that the show is finally finding an audience. This week, the series came out on top of the Tuesday night ratings pool - above Jay Leno and everything else in it's time slot - a rarity for a scripted drama on cable television.

    In a post on his personal blog, "SoA" creator and former "The Shield" writer, Kurt Sutter, waxes philosophical about the problems major networks are facing with their programming formulas:

    The reason most network scripted dramas suck is because of the process. For the most part, you have a collection of young, half-bright development executives who wouldn’t know a good story idea if it set itself on fire and fucked their mothers while singing “Cheyenne Anthem” from Leftoverture. So they do what most chimpanzees do -- they ape and throw shit. Developing shows based on what they think people want to see. Churning out clones of semi-successful shows. Looking for a “hook” to market. It’s never about the story or characters. That would demand talent, patience and an open mind.


    That's exactly what I've been saying, Kurt...exactly! I gotta love a man after my own heart. Read the rest of Sutter's rant here.

    "Sons of Anarchy" airs on the FX Network Tuesday nights at 10pm. Watch it!

    Were you watching "Sons of Anarchy" last season? Probably not...most people weren't. But no thanks to your ass, the awesome biker show is returning for it's second season on September 8th and this time you should be a little less of a square and check it out.

    Why, you ask? Well...why the hell not? It's about an outlaw biker gang - that's awesome. It's got a great cast of actors including, but not limited to Ron Perlman (Hellboy, City of Lost Children), Katey Sagal (Futurama, Married With Children), Charlie Hunnam (Undeclared, Queer As Folk), Mitch Pileggi (X-Files) and Dayton Callie (Deadwood) - that's cool, right? It was created by one of the head writers for "The Shield" - we all love Vic Mackey, don't we? So what the hell's your excuse?

    Check out Season 1 on DVD and get ready for some methed out madness, some warm beer and cold women and some serious biker badness. Check the promo for Season 2 below:
