Lines of dialogue that almost made me stop watching “K-Ville,” in order of appearance:

“I’ll see you later at the gumbo party!”

[sketchy fisherman suspect] “I swear, I didn’t see her!”
[heroic detective] “Then how did she get this in her dressing room??” (holding up a giant handful of fishing worms)

[uniformed cop] “They found lots of drugs in her car.”
[heroic detective] “Nuh uh, no way, she didn’t do that stuff…any more.”

I wish I was making some of that up; the handful of worms line was actually hilarious. If you couldn’t tell already, “K-Ville” is not a good television program. That terrible dialogue was just the first 12 minutes. The story of New Orleans is heartbreaking, but “K-Ville” is brain-breaking. I would say it was worth watching how every 5 minutes, on the dot, wherever the main characters are gets randomly shot up. But in today’s dollars that’s not worth anyone’s time.

For some reason I had told myself that I like Anthony Anderson, and I sort of do, in the right part. Unfortunately for Anthony Anderson, the right part was Antwon Mitchell, the gangster character on “The Shield” and not Marlon Boulet, the suitably Frenchy named New Orleans cop character on “K-Ville,” surely to be the first canceled show of the season after Civil War dead rise from their graves to watch the “Heroes” premiere next week.
