John Barrowman has a new TV show.

I don't usually watch shows about animals.

I'll make an exception.

... Kay... Does the man break out into a rash if he's not working 24/7 or something? :D

I recently heard him say in some interview that he actually took two weeks off this year. We didn't notice because after something like a day of enforced idleness he was pacing the rooms and driving Scott crazy. So he went back to work.

He's a workaholic and we reap the benefits.

You know I wouldn't be shocked if he was forced to take breaks *laughs* Honestly~! While I won't complain, I love seeing that man do... well anything really, but I wouldn't put it past him to be that annoyingly restless person on his time off :D

As long as he doesn't burn himself out!

Personally, I would be burned out after one day of his schedule. He has this phenomenal energy level, and phenomenal level of talent, and he's doing whatever he's happy with. Life doesn't get better than that.

It just makes me think of what James Marsters was saying about him in all these vids from Dragon*con :D Where he doesn't let anyone be sad or tired or upset. If there's fighting, all of a sudden JB's nearly naked. If you're tired, he storms into makeup rooms shouting 'WHAT'S UP BITCHES?!' at the top of his lungs.

I think it'd take getting used to, but oh to shadow that man around would be pretty neat XD Hell, I could use a nice upping of my stamina~!

It's a funny thing: I'm a low-energy person, but when I'm around high-energy people my energy rises and (if they're reasonably positive) so do my spirits. It's like a tonic. So I think I'd like hanging out with Barrowman, or working with him. (Other obvious reasons aside.)

LOL, he really can't say 'no' can he? Bless him.

I'm not sure he has ever tried!

Mind you, this does seem like a show he'd go for.

If it isn't too stupid a question, who are the people in your icon?

It does, doesn't it? Kind of off-beat, showbiz-y but good at heart. And it's for Children's BBC. I'd watch it.

It's John-Paul (James Sutton) and Craig (Guy Burnet), they're characters in Hollyoaks, a British soap. They're incredibly popular in the UK, but not so much known outside the UK, I think.

Yes, and Barrowman really likes animals. So it's all a perfect fit.

Thanks for explaining about Hollyoaks, which I've heard of, but as far as I know, it isn't shown on any of our stations.

which will show animals with extraordinary skills that make people's lives easier and safer

Okay, if I *didn't* like John Barrowman (the brain breaks trying to imagine that scenario, but go with me...) this show would entice me to watch him. So I'm ecstatic to get two great loves in one show! Thanks for the heads up. :)

I'd know you were a Skrull impostor, but that's okay, I can accept the hypothesis... in a bizarre alternate reality....

You're welcome!

Oh, yay. This show is FOR ME. It could only be better if it had pugs in it, and I don't know that it doesn't.

Do pugs work? If they do, they'll probably be in it.

Well, they do make good assistance dogs for depression. But other than that...

As John Barrowman knows! XD

Srsly? ..... Srsly? NO......just no.

There is this thing called editing.

A VERY good agent will do this (see Tom Cruise circa 2000) a very bad agent will not (Britney Spears, circa 2007). And our boy John, needs it. Unless Barrowman is too scared of money and everything going away in the UK, WTF with the flipping dog show????

If you spread your "whatever talent" too thin, too randomly, to WHATEVER WILL BRING IN A POUND/DOLLAR, I think it cheapens it.

Jordan anyone?

I think this is exactly what he wants to do. He loves dogs. He loves kids. He doesn't care about the rest, because he can afford not to care.

Hmm, I hope it features a hard-working pterodactyl.

It should, shouldn't it? But Torchwood is (at least in theory) a cover operation and perhaps can't reveal the identity of operatives. Even prehistoric flying ones. For their own safety, of course.
