Conrad Gordon is an author. He wrote a book about the perfect marriage! We have no idea if he knows from experience, though, because Cold Feet was canceled in the middle of his appearace - we did get to see one show, but it didn't tell us much. Karen (above) was to edit his second book. She took one look at the jacket picture from his FIRST book and feel into mad crush. The pic above was a fantasy - one I think a lot of us have had.
Not sure yet what Conrad will do in the City. I get the feeling he isn't as NICE as he appeared on the show. We are hoping NBC plays the second show *sometime*. Until then I guess we'll expand the character as we see fit.
The show that was aired had very little of Conrad - but he looked good. How can you complain about a shower scene and a SIM in a Tux?
For viewability, I give it an 8. As far as I know, we all got this first generation, since it was on American TV, but it is sort of silly and I think most of us fast forward through the non-Conrad bits. OKay, so most of us play the shower scene over and over and need to get extra copies because we wore out the tape. MOST of that 8 comes in there!
For character, I give this one a 6. When and If we ever see more of him, I'll raise that. But we didn't see much of him, and while seeing him in the shower and a Tux is wonderful, that goes to the above category. All we know about HIM is that he wrote a book on marriage - and he isn't married!
The weird familiar face is the one who plays Shelley, who did commercials for MCI. Remember her? Personally, I wanted to punch her when she said, "What do you say to that, AT & T?" Grr. I didn't realize where I'd known her from, though, until we got to Peter's episode. What can I say, I'm slow. The husband in this episode was in "Playing God" with Timothy Hutton and David Duchovny, which I happened to see the day after I recently watched the Cold Feet ep. He was a body guard who got killed fairly early in the film. But the most obvious familiar face was Anthony Stark from Magnificent Seven. It's his wife who has the crush on Conrad.
