It was just announced that The Cleaner is being canceled after two seasons. I was just telling WillowRaine the other day how I love this show. I love how at the end it gives me shivers and makes me want to cry. I was late at catching on to this show and now I regret it. It’s one of the better shows out there.
The A&E show starring Benjamin Bratt was based on a true story. William Banks helped those who needed to get clean and he knew how it felt because he used to be an addict himself. The final episode aired on September 15.
Admittedly I saw a similar post on AOL and I happen to think they got it WRONG. So, I’m doing our version of television Bad Boys. They’re characters (save for one) that are naughty,naughty, and just happen to also be people that Taylor Blue and I find, sexy.
10.) Gordon Ramsay: (The one exception to the “not a character rule”): because well, he’s sarcastic,cynical, a straight shooter, and freaking hot. (And I don’t just mean in the kitchen).
[There was a picture here until it was hotlinked.]
9.) Barney Stinson: (Neil Patrick Harris of HIMYM): Apparently, he’s a playboy who wants to settle down, and no you can’t be the one who makes him realize this dream,that’s Robin’s job, so don’t even think about it. lol
8.) Charlie Harper: (Charlie Sheen, Two and a Half Men): The player. I don’t know how else to sum it up, other than to say, his little black book is the size of War and Peace.
7.) John Clark Jr.: (Mark Paul Gosselaar of NYPD): I HAD to find a way to fit him in here, so here goes…his character on NYPD had a hard life, and succumbed to alcohol and women to soothe his tortured soul. *Sigh*
6.) Dylan McKay: (Luke Perry): It’s DYLAN, hell it’s LUKE, do I need to explain? I didn’t think so. Glad you’re coming with me on this one.
5.) William Banks:(Benjamin Bratt,The Cleaner): If you haven’t seen the show, please do. He plays an ex-junkie, turned extreme interventionist.
4.) Cole Turner (Julian McMahon,Charmed): He was a DEMON. I think that qualifies him as bad. lol
3.) Sylar (Zachary Quinto of Heroes): Um yeah, he removes the top of a person’s skull and takes their superhuman powers. Not very nice.
2.) Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum of Smallville):Arch Nemesis of Superman (AKA Clark Kent). He is one conniving, dirty, bad boy. I think he needs a shower, any takers ladies?
And last but not least, the number one slot. You’ll see it belongs to TWO, count them TWO bad boys. Because you can’t break up a set. Especially one THIS valuable and fine.
1.) Dean and Sam Winchester (Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki of Supernatural): They fight any malicious paranormal thing that is tossed their way, Dean is a womanizer, he’s abrasive, and sarcastic, and is SO bad that he was brought back from hell itself, and Sam pulls power from drinking Demon’s blood. Yeah, they’re THAT bad, and yet oh.so.good.
Okay ya’ll.. cold shower..down the hallway to your left, towels are in the linen closet, help yourself. I’m sure you need it.
I was watching The Cleaner the other day and I heard this song 9 Crimes by Damien Rice. I cried so hard during that part of the show. And honestly I haven’t stopped listening to it since then. I also heard it in one of the Shrek movies too. There is just something about it that I can’t get enough of. Music is a huge part of my life. Without it I probably wouldn’t be able to function. I like this version of the song better than the other ones I have heard. Let me know what you think of it.
If you haven’t seen the hit television show “The Cleaner I’m sure you’re not alone, I tend to hear mixed reviews about it daily. However, even though I watch very little television (deteriorates the mind, and creative processes you know), that is ONE program that I DVR.
No, before you can assume, I do not have a thing for Benjamin Bratt though, admittedly, he is a great actor. The show is about William Banks, an ex-addict, turned extreme interventionist, with unorthodox methods, helping people get sober. It’s actually, for those of you that are wondering, loosely based on the true story of Warren Boyd, (who is also co-executive producer of the series.) He’s helped people such as Courtney Love, Mel Gibson, Robert Downey Jr. and Whitney Houston.
I have a very personal reason that I cling to that show, it gives me hope. Without hope, what do we have?
