The shell game tvb series

The reporters then jokingly asked Kenneth if he is afraid of getting slapped by Patrick. Seniors like Patrick are very kind and caring towards us juniors. Kenneth also said he has never been in touch with Patrick and has only heard about him through his mother, who is a fan of him.

Although still unsure of what role he would be playing in The Shell Game , Kenneth said he hopes he would have many scenes with Patrick. Source: On. This article is written by Addy for JayneStars. The actress denies that wedding bells are coming despite news that Kenneth is looking to buy a property for marriage.

The Shell Game is a classic, but a remake? No robots please, wong jing. Oh no! Why are they remaking this classic drama and getting WJ to remake it at that too??? Cast looks promising but not the production or producer.

By addy March 1, We've also seen the "con man gone straight" plot device in "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe" , "Switch" , and "Remington Steele" Although there are justifiable comparisons to "Remington Steele" such as the main character being a con man who adopts another identity, not to mention that James Reed was a regular on the show for its first season this show had several additional twists.

The couple in question, Riley and Dinah, had already been married, and divorced after a con game went horribly wrong, going their separate ways.

After another failed con sets a drug kingpin on her heels, Dinah bumps into her ex by accident in Santa Ana, California, and discovers to her dismay that her old partner-in-crime has gone straight! Under the alias of John Reid, he now works as a television producer for a consumer advocate show called "Solutions. In return, Jennie Jerome works with John Reid to help people in trouble, using their skills in flim-flam and confidence games to expose the crooks and find justice for the common man. The irony is that Jennie finds herself enjoying the straight-and-narrow.

For the most part, anyway. Another twist to the show is that none of the supporting characters know of Jennie and John's history together, although Natalie occasionally suspects something going between the two of them. We can't even be sure of the main characters' real names! They adopt aliases using names from pop culture: "John Reid" was the true identity of the Lone Ranger and "Jennie Jerome" was the maiden name of Winston Churchill's mother.

However, an appearance by Jennie's con-man father played with roguish charm by Gene Barry suggests that she had been named "Pocket" In the years since this show, no other production that I've seen has made use of the stars' comic timing. James Reed and Margot Kidder had wonderful chemistry, and their careers as con-artists turned consumer reporters made for inventive television as I watched them change identities as easily as I might change clothes.

I wish that it had been given a longer run, because it was fun to watch. Even now, I look at my old tapes of the show with affection and fondness. If you ever get a chance to check out this show, get some popcorn and watch it in tandem with other shows of its genre like "Remington Steele" and "Tenspeed and Brown Shoe.
