Charla's mane:

from Amazing Race 5 fame will be appearing on next week's episode of The Comeback, Lisa Kudrow's HBO brain baby about Valerie Cherish, a successful 90's sitcom actress who films a reality show about her comeback. The Comeback follows a similar format as HBO predecessor Curb Your Enthusiasm - loose script, heavily improvised, and loads of cameos.

What I like about it: Lance Barber as Paulie G

"Tom's partner behind the scenes of Room and Bored, Paulie G seems intent on taking Valerie down a notch. He interrupts his online Black Jack game just long enough to inform her that her character has been demoted to a Mrs. Roper-esque landlord living upstairs." (HBO.com)

Every week Paulie G's writing reflects his hatred of Valerie by turning her charcter into the stupid bitch he thinks she is in real life - kind of like a puppetmaster of sorts.

What I also like about it: Robert Michael Morris as Mickey - Who knew I would miss Charles Nelson Riley so much?

What I don't like about it:
It needs more Sarah Silverman.

Why does HBO need 3 shows like this? Can't they cancel Entourage to whittle it down to 2?
