Please take the shirt off......some of us are running out of time.....we can't just sit around and wait forever...Fi may not be interested (so she says), but we still are....This is the price of fame....crazy fans! Please don't let me down on Thursday night!

Yeah, I was hoping for a gratuitous shirtless scene in the last episode we watched, just so I could start up that thread for us (where we analyze at length Michael's marvelous and sinewy upper body), lol! Did you see that link fotojenic provided us JD-aholics at the support group thread the other day? The compilation of shirtless moments from the last season? Yowza!!!

After last Thursday's epi I whined like Nancy Kerrigan, "WHY WHY?!!!" 

We were promised 16 shirtless scenes. We EXPECT them! We are running out of patience. We might have to go to Miami and strip him. What you say Gal Pals? LOL!!!!

I can't believe this is a topic on the forum. State it inconspicuously in a thread but not blatant. This is beginning to look like a high school forum. Yes, I want a shirtless scene but at this point everyone is just going to have to wait it out. If it actually happens. And there is only ONE PERSON TO ASK.. and I guarantee his answer will be a mock with a smile.

Come on LuLu. This is all in fun. As a matter of fact it is Matt Nix that mentioned the shirtless scenes. So, obviously this is something they plan for the fans. 

Lulu, please loosen it up a little. This forum is big enough for topics of both intelligent discussions as well as shallow observations.

Yes, the lack of shirtless scenes is seriously disappointing to this loyal BN viewer.

I know everybody wants the scenes, I do too, but some of the topics have already been discussed and can be put into the same threads instead of new ones. I get it. I'm not trying to be pissy about it, it's just with the same comments thrown into a new topic, I think they can just be put on an old thread that has already discussed it. Ok, so maybe the heat is getting to me. carry on then.

A separate thread does raise the visibility of our demand.

JD, just so that you know, we are keeping the tab.

wow he got a hot body.


by the way i am adora. and i am new. didn't find a thingie that lets you introduce yourself.

LuLu, I can guarantee you that when I ask for the gratuitous shirtless scene it will be with a mocking smile.

I deliver my demands with all due cheekiness and complete irreverence. I'm not pining away for JD with a Tiger Beat sized photograph of him pinned above my bed with a facile-minded high school girl crush plastered on my face. I mean, holy crap - I'd like to think that JD is incisive enough to know that not one whit of this is serious (at least on my part it isn't). If he took this stuff I said seriously, that would actually ruin the respect I have for his great sense of humor.

[And I hope that I can still create that thread to drive this point home (Shirtless and Heroic - an Exposition on the Objectification of Hot Spies) - but I can fold it into that JD-aholic discussion, I suppose... *look of melancholy - offered in jest and good fun*] ;-)

I'm so there...lol....and yes I am one dimensional!

by all means keep the thread then. After all it is amusing as a sole topic but not sure how long y'all will have to wait. And NO one can do a mock with a smile better than Jeffrey. I am sure that he won't actually read this but Matt and others will and relay the messages. As for pinning away, go ahead, he is adorable after all.

I just sort of assumed that no one from the BN cast or crew was reading anything that was said over here. Am I wrong on that count? Uh, what do you mean by Matt Nix and “the others” relaying messages? *self-conscious look* *pausing* Wait - is the actor who plays Barry the Money Launderer here reading this??? *LOL*

As for JD himself - I’m like, 99.99997% certain that JD will NEVER end up on this forum (or on any other forum, for that matter). I’ve read the interviews with him where he’s revealed that he doesn’t like to read reviews or critiques of his work, watch other television shows, and blah-blah, in part because he doesn’t want to be influenced by anything. I think this is why he stands out in a crowd of Hollywood poseur types - because he’s authentic and actually living his own life rather than reading about it. To be honest with you, I was feeling a little apprehensive about the upcoming season of BN because I thought, oh man - what if this has changed JD (or Matt Nix, for that matter)? What if JD starts buying into this whole “I’m hot and I’m a god” thing and begins to preen before the camera? That would completely suck for me. Seriously, guys - if JD starts caring about what other people say or how he appears to everyone else, it’ll break my heart. [Thus far he seems unfazed by the success of the show, so that's a good sign from my point of view.]

That is what I thought about him after Touching Evil, But I can say at this point. Jeffrey more than likely won't ever go that Hollywood external rectal opening route. He simply has way too much class for that BS. As for reading the boards. Ummmmm. I am sure he will in time but would never say he has only then everyone else would jump on the bandwagon moreso to get a reaction out of him. Also, slightly so is why he doesn't do television interviews and after having watched actor James Denton be slammed on a daytime show (of which I believe he walked out on), probably sealed the deal NOT to do a television talk show, mainly in New York.

Case in point... James Denton did the talk show with newbie Wendy williams (no idea who this thing/person is) and questioned asked was... "Does your wife walk around naked in front of your kids". His response was to get up and walk off the set... That would have been the perfect time for him to respond with "are you a man or a woman? since the persons sex is in question. And yes, people are that vile on talk shows in New York.

ya Lulu, I saw a clip of that this weekend -and my first thought was how could she possibly get any actor/actress to appear on her show now? it was almost like she sabatoged herself. Weird! But way to go MrDenton I would have done the same thing because seriously what kind of response was she looking for? or expecting? As for Mr. Donovan I hope Hollywood never changes him or Mr Campbell, & Ms Anwar & crew for that matter, they seem so dedicated to their craft and their work I dont think they will. All too hard working and respectful for that. Peace.

Hey Adora. We have a lot in common. LOVE JD.

I've said this before. You have a way of expressing things that I truly enjoy. "Tiger Beat" mag. LOL!!! I'd love to read your dissertation on hot spies and their objectification. 

Yeah. I love his characters and roles he plays because he's a great actor. He's also really HOT! With that said he sounds pretty boring off screen. He plays golf, works out, gardening, watching his diet.... Stop bursting my JD bubble, JD!!!!! Geeze!!!! 

All Talk Shows are NOT like that one. Actually I wonder what was the purpose of that question? Anyway, it's a double edged sword. Your show/movie needs publicity, so you are pretty much forced to do interviews or run the risk of having no one see your work. BTW, I don't know who Wendy Williams or James Denton is. So, I hope he doesn't plan to avoid all talk shows. 

hey you forgot to add he goes out drinking when dragged out, and watches sports on tv and likes to shop and does charity events...

You're right, not all talk shows are like that. But many in New York are. they sometimes edit them if not live. They do it for a shock value more than anything. It's sad though. And yes, most actors do the talk show route for movies, tv or just because they are in town.

Is there a video of this Wendy William's interview of James Denton? I did a google of both and did not find any report that said he walked out on the interview. Anyway, I gather she's a shock jock like Howard Stern that is trying to turn a radio program into a TV show. What do you expect from someone like her?

I came up with nothing on the show but was told by others who saw it. Also, it's a he. He was a porn star turned, well, it..

Ok, I"ll get off this stupid thread of talk show tranny crap. You can continue on about Mkey shirtless.

How about Mikey in a pair of short shorts.... like Hank Azaria in the Birdcage...

Actually you are confusing her with someone else. Wendy Williams of the radio shock jock/talk show fame is NOT  a tranny. She's appears to just be an obnoxious person. The porn star Wendy Williams is white; while the shock jock Wendy is African American.

Aww, shucks, I feel the same way about you, Vestokes. You’re awesome! I was in lurkerdom here since early June, when I became a full-fledged BN addict and I had such a great time reading your posts. I couldn’t believe it when you responded to one of the first posts I made here - I thought, damn, Vestokes is way too cool to be talking to me, lol.

Also, I meant to say something about this but forgot to bring it up - I laughed my patootie off when you said you whined like Nancy Kerrigan - WHY? WHY???? A-HAHAHA!! LMAO!! It was one of those moments where you say to yourself, Ah yes - there it is, folks! The cheeky and droll sense of humor core demographic for BN!

NO. I'm way too much of a nerd to be considered cool. This is the only non-technical message board I post to. If you ever lurk on Macintosh and UNIX related technical boards you will see my name, vestokes. Yes. That's me! A big old nerd!

Thanks anyway. I have been told I have the gift of gab. Now try to get me to shut up. LOL!!!

Wait a minute, LuLu - now, mind you, I dunno who James Denton is and I dunno who Wendy Williams is. But lemme see if I've got this straight -- there's uncertainty as to whether of not the talk show jacka$$ is a man or a woman? Or whether or not James Denton's wife is a man or a woman? Who was a porn star? This would be one of those "romance of New York City" stories that we Americans never hear about with respect to NYC, lol.

Wow, I wonder what Matt Nix and company are gonna think of this thread now, should they ever stumble upon it.

-edited for grammar, of all things. *ahem*

Uh, i am confused too. I saw the clip on BestWeekEver the joke show where they make fun of things during the week of tv. They were busting her Wendy Williams(who has a radio show & a column in a magazine-and wrote a book) for saying the question and disrespecting someone she invited. They cut the clip very short but referenced that he walked out - maybe he didnt and that was part of the joke..ehh ... i dont know? anyway yes i hear ya not all talk shows are like that I agree. Alot are very respectful. I wish the BN cast would do some of those if they were allowed to- to give them an even bigger audience!!! They deserve it. ... and back to the shirt of this thread... pretty much any costume or lack there of - is fine by me ... it is the crazy smile/look that both Mr. Donovan and Mr. Campbell give that have me hooked (along with fantastic writing ...) any added missing warddrobe bonus is great too!! Peace.

for those looking for it: uh just found a review site referencing the whole WWilliams thing -no he didnt walk off... but wow mentioning her period?? i guess im really glad i missed the whole show.. http://unclebarky.com/reviews_files/a89928...185b3c-454.html

Alas, I am woefully inept with technology. I have deep and abiding respect for people who know what they're doing in this regard. I'm so inept that I don't even think I understand how to add an avatar to my little login ID. I can't believe how people like you and fotojenic do those animated umm...movie clip thingys. *ahem* I do use a Mac, though (mercifully, as there's really no way to get completely in over my head with this computer stuff).

I myself have also been told I have the gift of gab (I'm fairly certain this wasn't always a compliment, lol). I was an English kinda person rather than a drama person (I read that interview someone posted at some point, about how JD said in high school he opted to perform the Shakespeare scene rather than write a paper - I was always the opposite). I have had friends who have worked in local theatre companies in varying capacities all my life (actors make the best game night players for stuff like charades, while the set designer people are best for Win, Lose, or Draw sorts of games). English and Theatre majors are drawn to each other like moths to a flame (a mutual love affair with language and storytelling and yep, the old gift of gab thing)...

edited again for grammar, yeesh! and to add another thought, due to gabbiness. ;-)

Well, I use a Mac too. With a Mac you can use the Preview application to grab any image and create a gif or jpeg. Once you do that you can upload the file to create your avatar. Let me know if you want to be able to create animated gifs. You would have to have a quicktime video of the media you'd like to use to create the animated gif. There are a number of applications that you can use to convert to the correct format to create the gif.

Let me know if you want to know how. My family always say I give more details than they really want so, I'll understand if your eyes cross right now and you move on to another post.

Man, I don't even know what to say at this point and frankly, I'm a little scared to click on the link you've so graciously provided me. *lol*

LGia19, when I first read what you said here, the very first thing I thought of was that scene with Michael in the last episode - when Sam is trying to convince Michael to take Sophia's case so that he can impress Veronica, and he says something to the effect of, "Mike, you wouldn't believe the things Veronica can do to me" and Michael does that funny little hand gesture and closes his eyes and has that look on his face like, "too much information! too much information!" Michael used this little gesture on his mom when she told him that Virgil (the boat repo guy in trouble with the Jamaicans and the dirty cops) was in her bedroom, not the guest room. I'm thinking that's the gesture I'd insert into this conversation at this point if I were talking about this in person, lol!!

Yeah, I'd love to know how to do that. I know I've got the quicktime video software. Should I head over to the "animated gifs" thread and you can fill me in on things over there? I don't think I'll ever be sophisticated enough to do those movies you do for us here - but wow, I certainly love looking at them (thank you so much for putting the "I look good" Armani moment out there for me, btw!). Also - sadly I think I clicked on the "can't receive PMs from people" option when I registered and after I logged in for the first time I tried desperately to figure out how to change that info but never saw any option to accept PMs. See what I mean, Vestokes? I'm completely clueless, alas.

Well, I am not a tech person and can't figure out any of what you guys are talking about. I'm lucky enough to actually get on a site and use it. So I applaud anyone who can do all the images and fun stuff. I can only make random comments. But after this past weekend, I will assume Mikey will be shirtless after that. It is after all summer and July in South Beach/Miami.

Speak for yourself; I'm dead serious.

Take off that shirt! Where's Fi when you need a gun?

Sorry if that offends JD, but thems the breaks when you become a sex symbol!

LuLu, I don't know what in the heck I'm talking about with respect to the technology stuff - you're not alone by any means!

*wading back over to the shallow end of the pool with my coconut rum drink with the frou-frou umbrella and pineapple wedge*

...so what's the deal about JD shopping? Is there any type of shopping expedition he likes specifically? Antiques? Bonsai trees? Exotic coffees from around the world? Swimsuits? Wonder what drink he orders when he's at a bar. I'm the only woman I've ever known who actually orders scotch on the rocks whenever I go out drinking. Of course, I'm generally the first one who's completely blotto as well, lol.

*edited to add a thought and also for clarity*

Scotch? Hmmm. I used to love Whisky Sours. Yeah, I love the fruity drinks. Now, it's kind of Pino (white wine) or a White Russian. I don't do red wines unless it's white Zin. Of course who doesn't like a glass of champayne. OR when it was the trend at events Cosmopolitans. As for Jeffrey, No idea what he drinks. I assume from a few other interviews it's mostly beer. The shopping I would assume is for clothes. Gotta look oh so stylish....

Ha Ha.. you cracked me up. Ya I often think of Mike's/Sam's response ....sometimes they slip out... like i will shout out DamnStraightSkippy... ha... sorry Didnt mean to freak you out.. but I was freaked out by it and kinda of... uh.. isnt there an expression "share dont scare" ... i think i committed that. ha. again sorry .. but uh thanks for making me laugh. ohh or WhoaNelly! Ha

DamnStraightSkippy, LOL LOL! I love that one!

This split second of Michael dressing up the suit should be counted no more than a half shirtless scene.

So, JD, at least 15 and a half to go.

As a big Bruce Lee fan, and not at all gay or nuthin', I say Michael NEEDS more shirtless scenes.

Equal-opportunity Chrisisall

LOL!!!!

*ahem*

*taps fingers while waiting impatiently for shirtless scenes*

How about a half shirtless plus a fourth? There was that little bit of shoulder & chest when he's reclined on the grass talking with the Pakastani guy and then that flash moment when he's suiting up in his loft. Come on...enough with the tease already!!! LOL

I think he's gone GUN-SHY!!! that split second ab moment doesn't count. PERIOD!!!

Matt Nix regularly views the board, and will sometimes exchange messages with some of the fans who post to him. He's very busy, obviously, but evidently thinks that we fans are important enough to care what we think about his show and pays attention to us accordingly. He's a good guy and a man of his word.

I heart Matt Nix in a *big* big way! I was thinking there should be a Matt Nix-aholics support group here on the forum, but it would mostly be a lot of gushing over that big, beautiful brain of his (rather than pics of him shirtless and sexy, lol). Yep, I love Matt Nix for his mind - brains and wit, a lethally sexy combination!

I change my mind. I can do that. I say we get Jeffrey and exploit his body. Have him strip down to a pair of boxers running around the loft, without the sandals sans SHIRT of course.

Probably have to chain him down and force him to eat yogurt.

OK....I like this idea! They say great minds think alike....lt's go!

I have PINK Fuzzy Handcuffs for such an ocassion. they haven't been used in awhile.... calling on MATT! Here's an idea!!!!! Fi can handcuff him and stradle him just to get even.....

There were only 2 teaser scenes with a partially shirtless Mike. I'm getting a bit ticked now!!!! Where are our shirtless scenes? 





Show and tease:

Come on Matt, you don't want the important part of the show's quality slip this much! 3 full episodes have gone by with a bonifide shirtless scene. A large portion of your demo audience can't be too pleased.
