Those probably weren't the type of notices Lowe was going for, but the movie drew 5.8 million viewers. To a basic cable channel. On a Saturday night. (Lifetime will reshow it Saturday at 6 p.m. ET.)
Having conquered prime time, Lowe moved on to the sporting arena, boldly tweeting on Wednesday, "[Peyton] Manning will retire today," insisting his information came from a "pretty damn good source."
As far as we can tell, Lowe's exclusive revelation about the inner workings of the Indianapolis Colts stems from the fact that his sitcom Parks and Recreation is set in the apocryphal town of Pawnee, Indiana (although it is taped in Los Angeles).
That's kind of like me declaring myself an expert on Italian parliamentary law because I had lunch at Sbarro.
Manning's response: "I never thought Sodapop Curtis would announce my retirement, I always thought I would be the one to announce it." (The injured quarterback's future playing status remains unresolved.)
Ooh, dismissing Lowe by identifying him with one of his earliest roles, as a juvenile delinquent in 1983's The Outsiders - that's cold.
Sticks and stones, baby. Rob's already moved on, volunteering advice to the presidential debaters. After all, who would know better than him? He had a part on The West Wing.
Open the hatch. It would seem many of us are having trouble distinguishing TV from reality.
Since Fox started airing Alcatraz, National Park rangers have reported that people are now regularly stealing away from the tour route of the prison in the middle of San Francisco Bay to search for the secret subterranean chamber where many of the scenes in the series are set.
