VJ Boyd Is At It Again

I'm sure someone else has noticed this already, since I'm usually late to pop culture stuff, but:

Remember how writer-producer VJ Boyd slipped a number of Ticket references into the series "Justified"?

He's back with a new show, "Lincoln Rhyme," based on Jeffrey Deaver's "The Bone Collector."

During the pilot episode I was watching with Mrs. Plainsman, I startled her when I bolted upright:

The villain who kidnaps the heroine's sister is named "Robert Sturm."

Checked the intellectual property brains behind the show -- yup, there he was, VJ Boyd.

Not sure I'll keep up with the show, so let us know if you hear any others.

I think "The Plainsman" would be a good villain name.

Now go wash your hands.

Not Robert Sturm

Mickey Jones, RIP

Mickey Jones was a drummer with Bob Dylan, Kenny Rogers, and other notables. He then went on to have an acting career, most notably in "Home Improvement" and movies "Sling Blade," "Starman," and "Tin Cup."

The Ticket connection?

As most Ticket followers know, VJ Boyd, a writer-producer on "Justified," has written the names of many Ticket notables into the scripts for that wonderful series:  Ty Walker, T.C. Fleming, Gordon Keith, others.

Jones played Rodney "Hot Rod" Dunham in the show.  Of course, we know the beloved George on The Musers, and his affection for a movie he believes is underappreciated by everyone but him, "Hot Rod."

So there's your Ticket connection.

 

 And here's your redhead "Justified" connection, Alicia Witt, who portrayed Wendy Crowe.

 Have a fine weekend, Confessors.
