TV show satirizes Chris Isaak's life
The Associated Press
This isn't the seamy, back-stabbing biz we generally see. Hanging with Isak and the band, making music videos with stars such as Bai Ling and getting banana bread from a friendly stalker are carefree fun.
LOS ANGELES — He's a sexy rocker with a sly sense of humor. They are two of the most artful writers in television, with Northern Exposure among their credits.
Team Chris Isaak with Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider on a comedy series, and it turns out to be a perfect match.
Comparisons can be made to HBO's The Larry Sanders Show, Garry Shandling's talk show spoof, and some are apt. Isak is backed by colorful supporting characters, and celebrities including actress Minnie Driver and singer Stevie Nicks drop in as themselves.
In the opening episodes, Isaak is teased by his friends as a cheapskate who
The Chris Isaak Show (which debuts at 9 ontour on Showtime) is a zesty romp through a fictionalized version of Isaak's on and off-stage life, with the musician playing a droll version of himself.
reuses disposable cups (with lipstick stains!) and plays peeping Tom when a woman dances naked in a hotel room across from his.
Chris Isaak, is this really your life?
"If it was untrue but funny, we'd lie," she Isaak said. "Verisimilitude and reality are low, hijinks and mirth are high. If it was funnier, I'd play a dentist."
Isaak paints the collaboration with Frolov and Schneider as a balancing act.
"If you left it to them, they'd have poignant, meaningful stories, and if you left it to me and the band, everything would take place between a urinal and a strip club," he said. "Somewhere between the two, I hope we land."
He gets strong backup, particularly from cast members Jed Rees (Galaxy Quest) as a wayward band member and Kristin Dattilo as a highstrung agent. Isaak's real band members get into the spirit of things.
And then there's the magic provided by Frolov and Schneider. Isaak's show is reminiscent of the wry quiriness of Northern Exposure, the 1990-95 CBS series set in a tiny Alaskan town.
